The films to look out for in 2016

A baker’s dozen of interesting or noteworthy titles coming our way in the new year.

This time last year, I ended my preview of 2015’s coming attractions by quoting Michael Haneke, who was keeping quiet about the nature of his own upcoming film, Flashmob: “Do not sell the skin before the bear is shot,” said the chucklesome Austrian.

Well, he was right. Midway through the year, he abandoned plans to make that movie. With that in mind, let’s not hold our breath for the appearance of Warren Beatty’s upcoming movie about Howard Hughes. (Fingers crossed all the same, though.) But here is a baker’s dozen of other interesting or noteworthy titles definitely coming our way in 2016.
