Me before You is probably the most anticipated film of 2016 for all eternal romantics. The romantic drama based on the best-selling book of the same name by British author Jojo Moyes tells the story of Louise Clark (Emilia Clarke, Terminator: Genesis), a simple girl who lost her job and young influencer Will Traymore (Sam Claflin, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay), who an accident turns his life upside down in an instant and he becomes dependent on the care of others.

Although we never asked for it, in 2016 the adaptation of Ben-Hur, the timeless classic from 1959 that won 11 Oscars and starred Charlton Heston, is coming to the big screen. Timur Bekmambetov (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) took the director's baton this time.

Sausage Party is an animated comedy about sausages and other food. Although it is an animated comedy, we do not recommend viewing it for children. Once you watch the trailer and see who is behind the project, it will be crystal clear why. Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill are reason enough to keep kids as far away from movies as they are from candy. The food in the film learns the cruel fate that awaits it when it leaves the shelves.

A Hologram for the King is a German-American film by Tom Tykwer (Alts of the Clouds, Perfume), based on the novel of the same name by Dave Eggers from 2012. The title role has been entrusted to Tom Hanks, who was last seen in the film Bridge of Spies. Hanks is one of only two actors to win two Oscars in a row, the first for his role in the drama Philadelphia, the second a year later for his role in the comedy drama Forrest Gump. This time, too, he starred in a touching comedy-drama, except that his character is still not so confused.
The famous British ski jumper Michael Edwards, better known under the nickname Eddie The Eagle or Eddie the Eagle is a living legend. A slightly older generation probably still remembers his famous performance at the Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada in 1988, because of which the International Olympic Committee changed the rules to no longer have to place exotics in the Olympics (well, Venessa Mae did it anyway). Although he never really lived up to his name (his jumps were short and unreliable), he won the hearts of fans around the world with his genuine Olympic spirit and determination. The path of probably the most unusual ski jumper of all time was translated into a film by Dexter Fletcher with Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton in the central role. And another interesting thing. The film was also shot by Slovenian jumpers, who performed jumps and stunts.
