Because Leonardo DiCaprio isn't attached and/or wanted for
enough roles in Hollywood, Deadline reports that director
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu wants DiCaprio for 'The Revenant,'
where he'd star as a frontiersman hellbent on revenge. Inarritu
also wants Sean Penn for the film, which focuses on Hugh Glass
(DiCaprio), a 1820s fur trapper who gets mauled by a bear to
such extremes that he can't even get transported out of the
woods for help. He hires two men to stay with him (Penn would
play one) -- who promptly double-cross Glass and leave him to
die. Spoiler: he doesn't, and heads out on a journey of
retribution. DiCaprio and Penn have only chatted with Inarritu,
so nothing is set in stone; 'The Revenant,' based on the novel
by Michael Punke, is set to shoot next fall.  [via Deadline]
