If 2016 was the year that saw franchises ruling Hollywood, 2017 will be no different. The industry, in its realisation that franchises are definite money-spinners, has greenlighted projects for the next five years (or more) in the unshakeable belief that their returns are guaranteed.
In all this, the discerning viewer still has the odd standalone film to look forward to next year. Of course, nothing seems to have changed as far as who the big stars are. Here are the big releases slated for 2017, both franchises and others.
Live by Night
Based on the Dennis Lehane book of the same name, this Prohibition-era film is directed by Ben Affleck, boasting a packed cast including Affleck himself, Elle Fanning, Chris Messina, Brendan Gleeson and Sienna Miller. It has been four years since Argo released, and hopefully, Live by Night will make it worth the wait.
