The Revenant is Academy Award-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu‘s (Birdman, Babel) next ambitious project, which sees Leonardo DiCaprio in an almost dialogue-less Western film that was shot in the remote regions of Calgary, Canada, as well as the mountains of Argentina using mostly only natural lighting. Production hasn’t been easy, with some describing it as “hell.” But as trailers have shown, The Revenant is turning out to be something special, and something that won’t be replicated for a very long time.

Fox has just released six brand new images from the film, showing just how harsh the conditions were while filming. Check them out below.

Alejandro G Iñàrritu‘s The Revenant was a very ambitious project from the start, but it is a very solid and highly anticipated project nonetheless. Rather than do another film that looked like it was shot in one-take, the Birdman director’s latest directorial effort was entirely shot using natural lighting, which meant that they were only able to shoot for a certain amount of hours in the day. Leonardo DiCaprio, Domhnall Gleeson, and Tom Hardy star in this 19th century revenge thriller that is based on true events.

We’ve seen plenty of images in the past showing how gritty the film can be, and now 20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for The Revenant. Check it out below.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s The Revenant. The film is based on the true story of Hugh Glass, an American fur trapper left for dead after a grizzly bear attack who is then robbed by a group of men. Fortunate to survive, Glass gathers his strength to enact his revenge on the people who left him for dead.

If you thought Iñárritu’s Birdman pushed the boundaries of filmmaking, then you will have to hit the jump to see what he is doing for The Revenant, and check out some of the new images from the film.
