“I ain’t afraid to die anymore. I done it already.”

20th Century Fox has released an awesome first trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s ‘The Revenant,’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. 

The film was shot entirely in natural light over the course of eight months by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and Iñárritu. “And every single scene is so difficult,” Iñárritu told Deadline, “emotionally, technically. I’ve gotten myself in trouble again, but I’m trying my best.”

Could this finally be the movie that earns Leonardo DiCaprio an Academy Award? I think so. Chime in below and let me know what you guys think.

Synopsis:

Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit.
