Sundance Film Festival 2016 Midnight Lineup Includes New Films From Kevin Smith, Rob Zombie, More

Yoga HosersIt’s not just "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the awards season that will be taking up headline space between now and the end of the year — there is also the Sundance Film Festival. Before we’ve barely had time to recover from the upcoming onslaught of year-end honors and a return to the galaxy far, far away, the movie world will pivot their attention to Park City, and organizers have unveiled their Midnight Movie Lineup.

The titles certain to grab some major attention before a frame is shown are Kevin Smith‘s "Yoga Hosers" and Rob Zombie‘s "31." The former will mark Smith’s first time back to Sundance since his infamous unveiling and (sorta fake) auction for "Red State." This time around he’s bringing along Johnny Depp, the actor’s daughter, Justin Long, and more for the ride. Meanwhile, Zombie’s new movie takes place in Murder World and has creepy clowns. Enough said.

The Sundance Film Festival runs from January 21-31. Check out the Midnight lineup below along with images from "Yoga Hosers" and "31."
