The Revenant is a 2015 American epic biographical western revenge film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu set in 1823 Montana and South Dakota. The screenplay by Mark L. Smith and Iñárritu is based in part on Michael Punke's 2002 novel of the same name, which was inspired by the life of frontiersman Hugh Glass. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, and Domhnall Gleeson. It is the second onscreen collaboration of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy after Inception.

Development of the film began in August 2001 when Akiva Goldsman purchased Punke's manuscript with the intent to produce the film. The film was originally set to be directed by Park Chan-wook with Samuel L. Jackson in mind to star, and later by John Hillcoat with Christian Bale in negotiations to star. Both directors left the project, and Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011. In April 2014, after several delays in production due to other projects, Iñárritu confirmed that he was beginning work on The Revenant and that DiCaprio would play the lead role. Principal photography began in October 2014 and ended in August 2015.

The Revenant premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on December 16, 2015 and had a limited release on December 25, 2015, followed by a wide release on January 8, 2016.

Plot

The film begins with a 1823 quasi-military hunting party of fur-trappers and fur-hunters hunting for wildlife pelts in the deep forest of a northern unorganized territory of the Louisiana Purchase under the command of their Captain. Very high hostility with native American Arikara or Ree Indians results in a surprise attack and ambush of the hunting party. Only about half of the hunters manage to barely escape on one of their rafts salvaging as many pelts as they can get away with while still under fire from the attacking Arikara or Ree Indians.

The escaping hunting party is led by their Captain who knows that they are still under pursuit by the violent and hostile Arikara or Ree. The party is further slowed down when Hugh Glass, one of the experienced hunters, stumbles upon a mother bear and her cubs while he is separated from the rest of the party. He is mauled and nearly mortally wounded by a grotesquely fierce grizzly bear attack when a mother grizzly begins wildly protecting her young cubs. Although Glass eventually gets a fatal gunshot into the bear, he is by then nearly dead himself, and receives desperate emergency field surgery to save his life when the hunting party finally finds him. The hunting party transports a very wounded Glass but because he is on a makeshift stretcher, he slows the party's movements. Moreover, because of his condition and its effect on the party's mobility, Fitzgerald insists they simply kill the presumed mortally wounded Glass.

The Captain initially tries to kill Glass himself by having Glass' eyes covered but is unable to shoot Glass. Instead, he offers payment for several men to stay behind with Glass. When two boys (Hawk, Glass' son, and a young Jim Bridger) volunteer, Fitzgerald points out the likelihood that those boys and Glass will be killed -- leading the boys to give up their payment and the Captain to up the reward, so much so that Fitzgerald himself volunteers. The Captain makes Fitzgerald promise that he stay with Glass until he dies and to give him a proper burial. Once separated from the main hunting party and alone with Glass, Fitzgerald tries to kill Glass (who is so wounded that he can't even speak) by smothering him, only to have Hawk stumble upon this murder attempt. A struggle ensues and Fitzgerald kills Hawk. When Bridger returns, he claims he doesn't know where Hawk is and then makes up a story that he saw men down by the river and they need to abandon Glass for dead.

The Captain and the surviving hunting party are the first to return to their nearly dilapidated barracks outpost, where eventually Fitzgerald and the other young hunter with him return without Glass with them. Fitzgerald pleads an effective yarn to the Captain about how, despite heroic efforts, they could not save Glass or his son from the elements. Fitzgerald receives a cash reward for his fabricated yarn from the unsuspecting Captain. Against all odds, after several weeks, Glass returns to the camp alive. Fitzgerald, seeing Glass in the distance coming towards the barracks outpost, decides to flee from the outpost, after first emptying the outpost's payroll safe to which he has had access, and before Glass can completely discredit Fitzgerald's false heroic claims made previously to the Captain.

Glass requests that the Captain assign him and only him to bring back Fitzgerald dead or alive, and the Captain agrees but goes with Glass. Fitzgerald ambushes the Captain and kills him when Glass separated moments earlier. Glass returns to find a deceased captain after hearing gunshots. He knows Fitzgerald is close. Glass sets an ingenious trap for Fitzgerald by placing the captain upright as a mock heavily-clad dummy rider on a traveling horse dressed in Glass's coat, while simultaneously hiding himself with a loaded gun under the pack blankets on a companion pack horse trailing directly behind acting as the dead captain. In the wilderness now, Fitzgerald takes the bait and shoots the mock dummy down off the horse from a distance and goes down to ensure that Glass is dead. Fitzgerald checks the body, only to discover it is the Captain, not Glass, when Glass suddenly drops out of the pack horse blankets to shoot Fitzgerald, hitting him in the shoulder, Fitzgerald flees with Glass in close pursuit and face off in a river bank. Fitzgerald eventually dies after a last desperate hand to hand battle. As the film ends, Glass continues to have flashbacks about his deceased wife and his deceased son, which have haunted him throughout the film, even after his culminating revenge on Fitzgerald has been completed.

Development and financing

Development of The Revenant began in August 2001, with producer Akiva Goldsman acquiring the rights to Michael Punke's unpublished manuscript for The Revenant.[10] David Rabe had written the film's script.[11] The production was picked up by Park Chan-wook, with Samuel L. Jackson in mind to star. Park later left the project.[12][13] The development stalled until 2010, when Mark L. Smith wrote a new adaptation of the novel for Steve Golin's Anonymous Content. In May 2010, Smith revealed that John Hillcoat was attached to direct the film and that Christian Bale was in negotiations to star.[14] Hillcoat left the project in October 2010.[13] Jean-François Richet was considered to replace him[13] but Alejandro G. Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011.[15] Goldsman was also confirmed to be producing with Weed Road Pictures.[15] In November, New Regency Productions joined to produce with Anonymous Content, and 20th Century Fox was confirmed to be distributing the film.[16][17] Days later, Iñárritu stated that he was seeking Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn for the two lead roles.[18]

The film was put on hold in March 2012, as New Regency hired Iñárritu to direct an adaptation of Jennifer Vogel's tome Flim-Flam Man, a non-fiction book about her criminal father.[19] Penn was also under consideration for the lead role in that film.[20] In December, Iñárritu announced that his next film would be Birdman or: (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), a comedy about an actor who once played a famous superhero. Iñarritu won the Oscars for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay and the film won Best Picture. Filming took place in March 2013.[21] Iñárritu was scheduled to begin production on The Revenant after Birdman wrapped.[22]

The film was granted a production budget of $60 million, with $30 million funded by New Regency. Brett Ratner's RatPac-Dune Entertainment also funded the film.[16] Worldview Entertainment was originally set to fund the film[22] but backed out in July 2014 due to the departure of CEO, Christopher Woodrow.[16][23] New Regency approached 20th Century Fox for additional funding, but the company declined, citing the pay-or-play contracts made for both DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, which would require that the actors be paid regardless of whether the film is completed.[23] Annapurna Pictures' Megan Ellison entered negotiations to finance the film shortly after.[16][23]

Filming

Principal photography began in October 2014 and was originally scheduled to end in March 2015,[24][25] though in February 2015, Iñarritu stated that production would last "until the end of April or May", as the crew is "shooting in such remote far-away locations that, by the time we arrive and have to return, we have already spent 40% of the day".[26]

Iñarritu said that the film was being shot using natural lighting.[27] Crewmembers often complained about difficult shoots, with many quitting or getting fired. Mary Parent was then brought in as a producer.[28] Filming took place in British Columbia and Alberta including Victoria, Fortress mountain, Calgary, Alberta, at Mammoth Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia, and in southern Argentina.[29][30]

Iñárritu had stated that he originally wanted to shoot the film chronologically, a process that would have added $7 million to the film's production budget.[31] Hardy later stated that, due to weather conditions, the film would not be shot chronologically,[32] although Iñarritu later confirmed that the film was shot in-sequence.[33] While the initial plan was to film entirely in Canada, the weather ended up being too warm. The filmmakers went to the tip of Argentina in order to shoot the film's ending with snow on the ground.[28]

In July 2015, it was reported that the film's budget had ballooned from the original $60 million to $95 million, and by the time production wrapped it had reached $135 million.[2] Iñárritu stated that some of the members of the crew had left the film, explaining that "as a director, if I identify a violin that is out of tune, I have to take that from the orchestra". A planned two-week break from filming in December was extended to six weeks, which forced Hardy to drop out of appearing in Suicide Squad. Brad Weston, president and CEO of New Regency Pictures, opined that principal photography had been challenging due to the ambitious nature of the film. Iñárritu was insistent that computer-generated imagery not be used to enhance the film, stating "If we ended up in greenscreen with coffee and everybody having a good time, everybody will be happy, but most likely the film would be a piece of shit."[28] Principal photography wrapped in August 2015.[34]

The Revenant was filmed in 12 different locations and three different countries including Canada, United States, Argentina.[35]

Music

The musical score for The Revenant was composed by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto in collaboration with The National's Bryce Dessner and German electronic musician Alva Noto.[36] The score was performed by the 25-piece Berlin-based orchestra known as s t a r g a z e under conductor André de Ridder.[37][38] A soundtrack album will be released digitally on December 25, 2015 and on CD on January 8, 2016. Milan Records will release a vinyl pressing of the soundtrack in April 2016.[38]

Release

The film was released in a limited release in the United States on December 25, 2015, making it eligible for the 88th Academy Awards, before being released nationwide on January 8, 2016.[39][40] It is scheduled to open in the UK on January 15, 2016.[41]

Reception

Critical response

The Revenant has received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 81%, based on 92 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising, The Revenant offers punishing challenges to viewer but in the end felt like a hollow spectacle with priority given to style over substance."[42] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 75 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[43]
