Weekend Entertainment: The Revenant Trailer
If this doesn't get Leonardo DiCaprio his Oscar, I don't know what will.
This trailer is the best I've seen thus far, bold statement, I know, but it is true. The cinematography was spectacular and the suspense, palpable. With Alejandro G. Inarritu, Director of Birdman, helming this massive film and actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy starring, it is sure to be nothing short of amazing. Here's the plot:
Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption. THE REVENANT is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker, Academy Award® winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel). Written by 20th Century Fox
A few scenes I loved from the trailer:
The intense short scene with DiCaprio and Hardy.
When DiCaprio is attacked by a bear, it's insane.
And my two favorite scenes from DiCaprio: when he's dragging himself through the mud and when he's looking back from the horse he is riding, you see nothing but pure, raw acting skills.
The Revenant will be released December 25, 2015 in limited theaters and nationwide on January 8th.
