Entertainment Weekly has recently revealed the first images of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s upcoming project, The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Will Poulter. The film is timed to be released in select theaters on Christmas Day 2015.
The film will be distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, the same parent company that distributed Iñárritu’s Birdman, which was recently nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Actor (Michael Keaton), and Best Picture.
The Revenant is based on Michael Punke’s novel The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge about a trapper who goes after the men who robbed him and left him to die after a bear attack.
