Inspired by true events, The Revenant is an epic story of survival and transformation on the American frontier. While on an expedition into the uncharted wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally mauled by a bear, then abandoned by members of his own hunting team. Alone and near death, Glass refuses to succumb. Driven by sheer will and his love for his Native American wife and son, he undertakes a 200-mile odyssey through the vast and untamed West on the trail of the man who betrayed him: John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). What begins as a relentless quest for revenge becomes a heroic saga against all odds towards home and redemption. The Revenant is directed and co-written by Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

The cast and crew of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials have found themselves in hot water, after apparently stealing artifacts from a Native American burial site.
Over 30,000 people have signed a Care2 petition demanding that the cast apologise to the Pueblo people after removing objects during filming in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Maze Runner star Dylan O'Brien spoke about the removal of items, and a subsequent spate of illnesses amongst the cast, in an interview on Live! With Kelly and Michael.
"It hadn't been used for filming ever before," said O'Brien. "They gave us this big speech when we got there to shoot, and they said, 'Don't take anything. Respect the grounds'."
"They were very strict about littering and don't take any artifacts like rocks, skulls - anything like that. And everyone just takes stuff, you know, obviously."

New video shows the confrontation between Native American extras on the set of an Adam Sandler movie and the film's producers ... that eventually led to them walking off. In the video, obtained by the Indian Country Today Media Network, several Native Americans are clearly pissed off over "jokes" in the "The Ridiculous Six." They're particularly annoyed over the name of one of the females in the film, Beaver's Breath. You see producers trying to convince...

Earlier this month, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart filmed a segment about the controversy surrounding the name of the Washington Redskins. Correspondent Jason Jones brought together four diehard Redskins fans and a group of Native American activists and comedians (who argue that "Redskins" is a "dictionary-defined racial slur"). The fans weren't happy about being forced to take part in the debate, telling The Washington Post they felt duped and were under the impression they would be giving their opinions without rebuttal.
The segment was reportedly supposed to air last week,...

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart isn't afraid of stirring up a little controversy! And on Thursday, after a semi-serious, lengthy disclaimer delivered by Jon Stewart himself, the Comedy Central show aired a segment featuring Washington Redskins fans and Native Americans. Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones asked both groups to reveal their feelings toward the NFL team's contentious mascot, then brought them together for a face-to-face debate. After taping the segment on Sept. 13, some of the Redskins fans seemingly regretted their participation. A Washington Post article quoted one woman defending the mascot name as saying, "This goes way beyond mocking...The Native Americans accused me of things that...

South Park will have some fun with the Washington Redskins not being able to trademark their team name earlier this year – because, as the U.S. Patent Office declared, it's racist – on the show's upcoming 18th season, which premieres September 24th. In a recently released clip, the ever-opportunistic (and surprisingly bouffant-haired) Cartman has begun using the name for some surely tasteless company, whose purpose has yet to be revealed.

Over two decades after Kevin Costner turned down a starring role in The Hunt For Red October, probably while saying, "No, I Have To Educate Everyone About The Native Americans, Nnnyyyeahhhh" all snotty like that, he may be coming back to the Jack Ryan franchise with a part in Kenneth Branagh-directed prequel/reboot. Deadline reports that Costner has been approached to play a mentor to Chris Pine's young agent—a new character, but one that has parallels to the CIA director played by James Earl Jones from Red October through 1994's Clear And Present Danger. Perplexingly, Jones is ...

I really believe this is the best geek news we'll have all month. Not only is Robert Downey Jr. officially on board Cowboys & Aliens, The Hollywood Reporter announced that he's bringing Jon Favreau along for the ride. Considering the original screenplay was penned by Iron Man screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, it's literally a dream team come true.
As if it wasn't touched by the movie gods enough, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, they-who-can-write-no-failures, are penning the script, and producer Damon Lindelof came aboard last fall. There's no way this can fail. Even if the movie was one big trick, and simply 2 hours of Robert Downey Jr. in a cowboy hat reading a phone book, it would succeed. We would just call it arthouse, and praise them all for subverting our expectations!
But there's no danger of arthouse here, Cowboys & Aliens really does promise to be pure fun with this team.
