#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “THE REVENANT”
We wanted so bad for this to be at TIFF ’15, but alas The Revenant has a plan of its own and this brand-new Trailer solidifies its status as a real Awards Season contender. The bear attack. That is all.
This Film was the reason Tom Hardy couldn’t come film Suicide Squad here this Summer… so it better be good!
Synopsis:
Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption. THE REVENANT is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker, Academy Award® winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel).

#TIFF15: DAY 4 SPOTTINGS: TOM HARDY, KRISTEN STEWART, EDDIE REDMAYNE, DREW BARRYMORE, NICHOLAS HOULT, TONI COLLETTE, ALICIA VIKANDER, LUKE EVANS, TOM HIDDLESTON + SHARLTO COPLEY
Rain continues to literally put a damper on TIFF ’15 Festivities, but hopefully this is the end of it! Cloudy skies aside, Toronto continues to light-up on star power alone and here’s some stars we spotted today!
Kristen Stewart at TIFF ’15 for Equals looking amazing. Unfortunately due to lateness and the weather she didn’t’ come by to greet fans but she certainly was a vision!
Nicholas Hoult. We’ve had the handsome English Actor here many times, but it was a pleasure seeing him on the Carpet again today for Equals alongside Stewart.
Drew Barrymore is effortlessly-stylish as she attends a Photo Call for Catherine Hardwicke‘s tear-jerker Miss You Already.
Can we all just take a second here and admire Toni Collette‘s amazing hair? She also was here for Miss You Already. Her performance will slay you.
#ToniCollette at #TIFF15 for #MissYouAlready. #TIFF40 #TIFF #TorontoFilmFestival A photo posted by Mr. Will Wong (@mrwillwong) on
She’s directed important Films like Twilight and Thirteen. Catherine Hardwicke is back with Miss You Already. Love her ball cap plugging the Film.
Toni Collette + Eddie Redmayne exchange a hug. This is the beauty of the randomness that is TIFF ’15.

Everyone’s buzzing about Alicia Vikander‘s performance in The Danish Girl. We’re seeing it towards the end of the Festival. Can’t wait to enjoy it!
The lovely and gracious Eddie Redmayne, here for The Danish Girl.

Tom. Easily the most giving man of TIFF ’15. Hardy literally stood in the rain both last night and today at a Press Conference and greeting literally every Fan. Champ. He is here to promote Legend along with Emily Browning.
Tom Hiddleston looking ultra-stylish at the post-party for High-Rise.
Luke Evans. The handsome Welsh actor also at the post-party for High-Rise.

#TIFF15: “LEGEND”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Legend is sure to be beloved by both critics and audiences alike, and the reason is simple: Tom Hardy.
Tom Hardy plays brothers Ronnie & Reggie Kray, England’s notorious twin gangsters. In the 1950/60’s the Kray Twins operated a criminal empire known as “The Firm.” Throughout their criminal career their notoriety was often coupled with adoration, and this Film about their rise and fall gives us insight into the fascination.
Well constructed, written, and cast, Legend is an excellent addition to the Gangster Cinema genre. It is also exemplary of Hardy‘s talents. His abilities as a leading man, and a character actor are on display throughout the Film, and for Festival attendees you can see for yourselves starting this Saturday.
Elevation Pictures release LEGEND and it screens at TIFF ’15:

#FIRSTLOOK: TRAILER FOR “THE REVENANT” STARRING TOM HARDY + LEONARDO DICAPRIO
From the Director who brought us Academy Award Best Picture Winner BIRDMAN, comes THE REVENANT.
Synopsis:
Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption.

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW STILL OF LEONARDO DICAPRIO IN “THE REVENANT”
After blowing our minds with BIRDMAN, Director Alejandro González Iñárritu unveils a new still from upcoming Drama THE REVENANT starring Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio. Due for a Holiday 2015 release, expect this to be at the forefront of the Awards Season race!
Official Synopsis:
Deep in the uncharted American wilderness, trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is severely injured and left for dead by a traitorous member of his team, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). With sheer will as his only weapon, Glass must navigate a hostile environment, a brutal winter, and warring Native American tribes in relentless quest to survive and exact vengeance on Fitzgerald. Based on a true story, THE REVENANT is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu (“Birdman,” “Babel”).
Rumours are that filming on this has been extended, resulting in Hardy no longer being able to commit to The Suicide Squad, set to film here this April in Toronto!
20th Century Fox Canada release THE REVENANT on Christmas Day 2015.
