It may be Oscar glory for a second year running for Birdman director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu with his latest movie, The Revenant, already gathering a lot of awards buzz, and judging from the new images that have come our way, there is no doubt this will look absolutely beautiful.
Following frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) embarking on a quest for revenge after being left for dead by his companions (Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, and Domhnall Gleeson), this Western thriller see Inarritu challenging himself again as a director, shooting the movie using only natural light in remote locations in British Columbia, Alberta, and Argentina. This bold decision saw the production last almost ten months (which may have contributed to Tom Hardy dropping out of Suicide Squad), which saw many crew members quitting or getting fired. But the director persevered, and from theses images and the breathtaking
first trailer, the difficulty shoot definitely seems to be worth it.
Release: 25th December (limited, U.S.)/15th January 2016 (IRL/U.K.)
