Default "The Revenant" ft. Leo DiCaprio (Opens Christmas Day)



Quote:
Principal photography began in October 2014 and was originally scheduled to end in March 2015, though González 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". He also said that the film was being shot using natural lighting. Filming took place in British Columbia and Alberta including Victoria, Fortress mountain, Calgary, Alberta, and at Mammoth Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Calgary area portfolio in the last few years, plus whatever else I don't care to look up...
  • Hell on Wheels (Emmy, Saturn nominations)
  • Fargo (8x Emmy nominations)
  • Inception (4x Oscar winner, 200+ other various award nominations)
  • Interstellar (probably opening to $50+ million this fall)
  • The Revenant (guaranteed not to win a damn thing cause Leo is in it)

Of course, but none of the 8 noms for Inception were for acting; individually Leo is 0/4 at the Oscars, 0/8 at the SAG Awards and 0/3 at BAFTA... but I feel most would agree he's deserving of something at some point in his career...

I was too busy to even go out for Interstellar. As for this one... I'm not white, I'm not native, and I sure as hell can't ride a horse. I want all the available spots to be filled by people from CP.

Polite for "Steve Buscemi" face. Rugged mountain men I would guess.

In a world where Eminem, Three 6 Mafia, Adele and Mo'Nique have as many Oscars as Martin Scorsese, deserve has nothing to do with it.

I think most of this is being filmed in BC but there will be portions in Alberta as well. Most of it will be in the Rockies and have little to do with Calgary.

Based on this guy apparently (spoilers for history?)

I kept saying this for Hell on Wheels and never did, but I think I'll go.

Does one need a bullet-proof vest in Marlborough these days?

Can't believe Leo was nominated twice in the same year and didn't even win. He seems to put out an Oscar worthy performance almost every year.

Pretty much.

Academy Awards have become a diluted and deluded joke. They hardly mean anything other than a night out with friends and having the champagne paid for.

Weird how musicians are winning oscars for best original song in a motion picture...

The sickening part is that Scorsese has made so many amazing movies, and the one he gets an Oscar for is a remake.

I think you're aware that wasn't my point, more that it's absurd how the greatest living director has only one Oscar (and for his what, 5th best movie?). He's also lost twice to freaking actors (Redford and Costner), and once to a convicted child rapist. I'd say that pretty much devalues the Oscars to irrelevant.
