Death is nothing for Leonardo DiCaprio in the trailer for The Revenant.
The movie, which is already generating plenty of Oscar buzz, teams DiCaprio with Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Inarritu, who won big last year winning four awards for his film Birdman.
Inspired by the life mythical explorer Hugh Glass, The Revenant focuses on one man’s (DiCaprio) adventure of survival in the early 19th century American wilderness.
The trailer sees DiCaprio’s character facing off against Tom Hardy, who plays his confidant-turned-enemy John Fitzgerald. Glass vows revenge on Fitzgerald when he betrays him, robbing him and leaving him for dead in the wilderness. The fur trapper also battles a bear and a vicious winter, ultimately traveling more than 200 miles to seek redemption.
The film also stars Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter. It was shot entirely in natural light by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki.
The Revenant hits theaters on Christmas Day before hitting theaters everywhere on Jan 8. 2016.
