The Revenant is already being tipped as one of the early 2016 films that's not to be missed as Alejandro González Iñárritu returns to the director's chair.
The Revenant
The Revenant is the first film for Iñárritu since he enjoyed Oscar successes with the critically acclaimed Birdman at the beginning of the year - I am excited to see him return.
The movie sees the filmmaker team up with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy for the first time, while the film is set on the novel of the same name by Michael Punke and is inspired by the life of frontiersman Hugh Glass.
The Revenant is the first time that we have seen DiCaprio and Hardy share the screen since Inception and they feature in some great new images from the film:
Iñárritu has assembled a fantastic cast for the film as DiCaprio and Hardy are joined by Will Poulter and Domhnall Gleeson - two of the most exciting young acting talents.
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 (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 (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 already being tipped as a major Oscar player and could be one of the front runners when the nominations are made - don't be surprised to see this film nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
The Revenant is released 15th January 2016.
