FIRST LOOK at Leonardo DiCaprio in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s THE REVENANT

20th Century Fox has released new first look photos from Alejandro González Iñárritu’s (BIRDMAN) next movie, THE REVENANT.

Co-written with Mark L. Smith, the film is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Punke, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Will Poulter.

Deep in the uncharted American wilderness, trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is severely injured and left for dead by a traitorous member of his team, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). With sheer will as his only weapon, Glass must navigate a hostile environment, a brutal winter, and warring Native American tribes in relentless quest to survive and exact vengeance on Fitzgerald.

Based on a true story, shooting on the movie by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (BIRDMAN, GRAVITY) began in September. The film has a release date of December 25, 2015 (limited); January 8, 2016 (wide).
