The first official trailer for Academy Award-Winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu's The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, has been released. Right away, you can easily tell it is an Iñárritu film because his way of shooting is unlike anyone else. The way he follows his actors with the camera makes it feel as if the viewer is right there walking alongside the characters and that is a very unique quality. The music that he uses in this trailer is also reminiscent to that of Birdman, the film that won him the Academy Award last year. It is also interesting to note the film was made using only natural lighting, which is a very difficult thing to do as it makes it much more difficult to manipulate shadows and the light is always unpredictable. The trailer itself doesn't tell us much of the story, but teasers rarely do that. Nonetheless, this is still one of the best trailers I have seen all year. Even though there is not much dialogue in this teaser, there is still great intensity to every scene shown. Will this be the role that finally gives DiCaprio his first Oscar? Only time will tell, but his chances are looking good. The Revenant is scheduled for a limited release on December 25, 2015 followed by a wide release on January 8, 2016.

Burn Gorman, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi return to reprise their roles from the original film.

Uprising picks up 10 years after the events of the original and it sets up a world that is still rebuilding after the devastating events from the war against the Kaiju. The film wastes no time in introducing the troublemaking Jake, son of fallen hero Stacker Pentecost. After running into trouble with the law, Jake is forced to train a new generation of Jaeger pilots in order...
