The Revenant

Nah, its not a monster from your table top . . . well it is actually . . . but a new movie that just signed Leonardo DiCaprio for the lead role. Its a western, tracking the journey of a fur trader that gets mauled by a bear, betrayed and left for dead in the wilderness by his partners. Only he doesn't die. He recovers to spend the rest of the film hunting down his tormentors.

Note: I desperately tried to use the word "erstwhile" in that paragraph above, but utterly failed.

I love westerns, and DiCaprio did such a fantastic job in Blood Diamond that this should be a good flick no matter how it falls.


These guys just looked cool!

Sounds like a remake of Man In the Wilderness, starring Richard Harris as the bear mauled mountain man.Also starred John Houston as the leader of the fur company who left him behind. Great if little known movie. Hope Dicaprio and company do it justice. Check it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_the_Wilderness
