SUMMARY:Screening - THE REVENANT w/ Q&A (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members and a Guest are Invited to a Pre-Release Screening of 20th Century Fox’s and New Regency Enterprises’ THE REVENANT followed by a Q&A with the Filmmakers. \nPanelists will include Visual Effects Supervisor Rich McBride and Costume Designer Jacqueline West. \nClick here to RSVP\n	Friday\, December 18\, 2015 at 7:00PM\n	Blakely Theater on the 20th Century Fox lot\n	10201 West Pico Blvd.\, Los Angeles\, CA 90064-2606\n	Click here for a map. \nInspired 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. \nPlease arrive at least 40 minutes early. Screenings are overbooked to compensate for no-shows. Seating is limited and will be available on a first come\, first served basis. An RSVP does not guarantee seating. You must present your VES membership card prior to entry.
