50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2016 - Ranked

37. Passengers

Though Joy looks like something of an iffy choice, Jennifer Lawrence doesn't seem to make poor decisions with her career, which should be the first good sign for Passengers. The second is that it's made by The Imitation Game's Morten Tyldum and written by Doctor Strange's Jon Spaihts, who will lead a cast also including golden boy Chris Pratt, Laurence Fishburne, Chris Pratt, and Michael Sheen.

Pratt plays the only awake passenger on a spacecraft transporting thousands of people to a distant planet (thanks to a malfunction in his sleep chamber) who decides to wake up another passenger. Inevitably, he chooses Lawrence (who admits she had to get drunk for their love scene), and while he's apparently "creepy", it's being portrayed as an epic space romance. Sounds great.
