When you consider that the director also seriously considered Sean Penn for the lead role you have to think that there's going to a bit more wrong with the project than us purists would appreciate. I sure hope I'm wrong.

The full text of " The Song of Hugh Glass", by John G. Niehardt, is available online for free. Great read if you've never read it. I haven't read "The Revenant", but it is called a novel:

This story was told in the 1971 film "Man In The Wilderness" with Richard Harris and John Huston. As I recall, it was a good movie. A scene where Harris fought with wolves over some meat was absolutely intense.
It will be interesting to see how this film compares.

Amidst negative clouds of doubts, movie portents shine in natural light. Along with once a decade appealing subject matter, it must be said, an ambitious technological commitment!
Still a wonder: whether we get a minor masterstroke or a crime against history worthy of a period piece tar and feathering.
For now, a patience and a waiting.

It will be great. Hey, anyone see The Lone Ranger? Johnny MacDepp!?
I refused to see it of course but it must'f been Macgood because something in a Western should Macresonate with you or else, I heard somewhere, it says a Maclot about you...

Just for the record, it was Johnny Depp that played Gilbert Grape. :v
"The Lone Ranger" with Johnny Depp? You didn't miss anything. :td:
The Lone Ranger died with Clayton Moore. And Johnny Depp's performance was just weird.

But Grumpa, as an expert here said:
Please watch it again, seek that missed inspiration that must be there we are told, and tell us all where we should find it or risk being less Godly men for not having done so with your heaven-sent insight.
:bow:

:haha: I'll just have to risk being a "less Godly" man; once was too much!
That lack of resonance says a lot about you, or so I'm lead to believe, but no, not you, "us" being farther from Heaven for it!
We are apparently sheep in a world full of wolves with only the divine guidance of a Macsheepdog. Won't you reconsider? We may need to get the flock out of here...

The movie will never work as Hugh Glass did not exact any revenge on those who left him behind (according to Lord Grizzly), so if it's to be revenge with blood and gore, the story line I read (granted it was mostly assumed) will not fit a blood and gore movie of revenge.
The bright side of it is that it gets the mountain man era in the spot light and the Leo D fans won't really know any better - so it may provide us in this sport with some new blood. :thumbsup:
I love any movie where something terrible happens to Leonardo Dikaprio. Just fast forward any other scenes.
The Western where his father gut-shoots this bastard son in a duel and still denies him as he slowly and painfully dies? Magic. The one with the sinking steamship!? They coulda just filmed him freezing to death and drowning for two hours and I woulda gone twice!

C-C. A remake of Jeremiah Johnson would be good. I saw it when it first came out and maybe a hundred times there after. One suggestion. Get rid of the part where he buys a Hawkins in .30 cal. Was he going to the mountains to hunt squirrel? I don’t think the Hawkins boys would have even made a rifle at their St. Louis shop in .30. I always heard they were from .50 to .62. Also, it would be tough to find an actor that would make it believable.
