A trailer for the upcoming period adventure/thriller The Revenant has been released and it looks incredibly intense. The opening fight sequence, which looks like it might end up being one long tracking shot, is gritty and violent and the rest of the trailer bears this frigid yet beautiful appearance that always feels dangerous. Mr. Disgusting and I were talking about it and it reminded us almost as if The Grey met Ravenous.
The Revenant‘s synopsis reads:
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.
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, the film comes out in select theaters December 25th and has a wide release on January 8th.
