Leonardo DiCaprio is out for vengence...and there ain't a damn thing you can do to stop him.
At least that is the persona the star gives off in the teaser trailer for The Revenant, the survival drama from Alejandro G. Iñárritu. If there is anyone who can help DiCaprio secure his long eluded gold statue, Iñárritu, who directed and co-wrote the film from Michael Punke's novel, would be it. Birdman, his ensemble comedy, nabbed four Academy Awards this year.
Inspired by the life of mythical explore Huge Glass, The Revenant takes place in the early 19th century American wilderness. The trailer centers in on the action as DiCaprior's character faces off against Tom Hard's John Fitzgerald, a once friend now emeny, who has robbed Glass and left him for dead. We follow Glass as he travels more than 200 miles to seek redemption, taking on a victious winter and an angry bear during his journy.
The film, which is already garner heavy Oscar buzz, also stars Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter. It is set for a limited release on Christmas Day before going wide in January 2016.
