2016 hasn't been the best year for cinema, full of box office flops and critical failures. But this month is looking a lot more promising. Here's a full list of what you should be looking forward to seeing this holiday season!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Kicking off the Star Wars anthology films, Rogue One is arguably the most anticipated film of 2016. Rogue One will give us a brief look into what to expect from the upcoming "Anthology" films that Disney have planned for the Star Wars Franchise.
"In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves."
After the Force Awakens left a lot of fans feeling cheated after a regurgitated story, will Rogue One give us Star Wars fans the fresh new look at the Universe that we are thirsty for? Featuring an ensemble of brand new characters and a sprinkle of some familiar faces, so far Rogue One has seemed to hit the sweet spot.
