DHAKA: Star Cineplex arranged the Dhaka-premiere of the latest Hollywood adventure, drama and thriller ‘The Revenant’ at its hall in Bashundhara City on Panthapath on Thursday evening (February 4) in city.

The movie will be screened at 10:50am and 4:25pm from Friday onwards.

A 2015 American semi-biographical western film ‘The Revenant’ is directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and written by Iñárritu and Mark L. Smith, based in part on Michael Punke’s The Revenant.

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Glass and co-stars Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter.

The movie is inspired by the experiences of frontiersman and fur trapper Hugh Glass in 1823 Montana and South Dakota.

Development began in August 2001, when producer Akiva Goldsman purchased Punke’s manuscript. Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011, and in April 2014, after several delays due to other projects, Iñárritu confirmed that he was beginning work on The Revenant and that DiCaprio would play the lead role.

It is the second collaboration between DiCaprio and Hardy, following Inception. Principal photography began in October 2014; problems with location and crew delayed it from May to August 2015.

‘The Revenant’ was premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on December 16, and had a limited release on December 25, followed by a wide release on January 8.

The film was well received by critics who praised DiCaprio and Hardy’s performances, Iñárritu’s direction, and Lubezki’s cinematography.

The Revenant won three Golden Globe Awards, and has been nominated for 12 Academy Awards, the most for the 2016 ceremony, including Best Picture, Best Director (Iñárritu), Best Actor (DiCaprio) and Best Supporting Actor (Hardy), says Wikipedia.
