I almost got a part in this film...would have been a cool show to be a part of.

But I was just shooting in Calgary a couple months ago, and some crew were on the show I was on that were on The Revenant. Most of the film was shot in Alberta, actually. They had a ton of money, but shot it in the middle of nowhere Alberta. Pretty rough weather conditions for the crew.

But also, I have several first-hand reports of how hard it was to work on the film. Inarritu, as much of a genius as he is as a filmmaker, is a lunatic, and an asshole. Several highly qualified veteran department heads and crew were fired or quit, because of Inarritu's crazy demands. Also heard that Tom Hardy had a serious problem with him and other issues; but again, as awesome as Tom Hardy is, he's known to be a problem on set.

Would have been a great experience and looked great on the resume, but overall it sounded like a nightmare project.

Needless to say though, I'm sure the end result will be awesome, judging by the trailer.
