Are you stuck finding a recommendation for an upcoming movie that doesn’t have a cape or lightsaber? Have you ever wanted to see a human being get mauled by a bear? If so, we have just the movie for you…
The Revenant is directed by Academy Award winning director Alejandro G. Inarritu (Birdman, Babel) and stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hardy, in an insane story that’s inspired by real events. Dicaprio plays an early American hunter and adventurer, who is savagely attacked by a grizzly bear and then left for dead by his expedition team. He miraculously survives the ordeal, then focuses all of his energy and rage, on getting revenge on those who abandoned him. Tom Hardy plays the subject of his fury and this looks like two heavyweights fighting for the championship, as Dicaprio and Hardy are two actors who are near the top of their weight class.
In this second trailer, we get a more in-depth look at the dialogue and drama at the center of the story. The movie looks like a Terence Malick film, if someone grabbed him and started shaking him real hard while yellling, “Put some more action in your movies, fool! And a bear. Throw in a big wildass grizzly bear.” Boom. The result would look shockingly similar to the trailer you are about to witness. In the past few months, from Everest to The Martian, we have been treated to several exceptional films featuring tales of extraordinary feats of human survival. The Revenant looks like another worthy, if not exemplary addition to the genre. Enjoy the trailer!
