Movie's THR members might like: 'The Revenant' - story of Hugh Glass (Lord Grizzly)

[usmarine0352_2005]

It's based on the true life story of Hugh Glass from the book 'Lord Grizzly'. This is a period peace about a trapper that gets left for dead by his friends after a grizzly attack. One of the friend's who leaves him for dead is a young Jim Bridger.



I'm not one to think of a Leonardo DiCaprio as a tough guy, but from the previews, the movie looks good. It also stars Tom Hardy and Domhnall Gleeson.


With all of the summer blockbuster's out there this looks like an interesting one. My dad used to actually tell me about this story as a kid. Guess it's supposed to come out Dec 25th.

The impossible, insane (ongoing) making of Alejandro G. Iñárritu's The Revenant

The 19th-century survival tale has endured a litany of challenges on its way to the big screen

His new film, The Revenant, out on Christmas Day, is inspired by the true story of Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), a 19th-century hunter and fur trapper who was attacked by a bear and left for dead by his comrades (Tom Hardy and Domhnall Gleeson), only to will himself across hundreds of miles of winter terrain to safety—and redemption. “Those guys were real men,” Iñárritu says. “Not p—–s like us.”

That brutality was just what they all needed, according to Iñárritu. “The conditions, the weather, made the actors better. They were feeling the cold, and they were really into it,” he says. “They were not acting, they were f—ing miserable.”

Perhaps a little too miserable? The approximately $100 million film lost multiple crew members, either because of terminations or defections. The director says he’s grateful to those who stuck it out. “I could not be more proud and thankful for the work, art, and support of more than 300 people who traveled to the end of the world—literally!—to work together for this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he says.

Saw the trailer for it a few weeks ago. Looks awesome, and this is one I'll go see.
