From Deadline Hollywood Inarritu speaks about The Revenant

Nobody’s going to go to a film because the guys came in on time and under budget,” Alejandro Inarittu told an audience of young filmmakers Saturday at the Producers Guild of America’s Produced By conference. Speaking via satellite from Los Angeles, where’ he’s in post-productoin on The Revenant, Inarittu said,

Your mission, your ambition should never be compromised. Never surrender to that.” The Birdman director drew applause as he answered questions put to him about the film, in which Leonardo DiCaprio stars as an early 19th-century frontiersman who sets out on a bitter journey after being mauled by a bear and left for dead. In front of the director, seen on a big screen at the Time Warner Center, the panel included the film’s producing tem of Steve Golin (Anonymous Content); Brad Weston (New Regency); and Mary Parent (Godzilla, Noah). The PGA’s Vance Van Petten led the questions.

Now I know how Matt Damon felt shooting The Martian,” Inarittu joked as he dealt with the slight time delay and responded to questions about the making of the already famously difficult film, which was shot primarily in Calgary, Alberta Canada, during what turned out to be the warmest winter on record.

The director explained that he agreed to make The Revenant before Birdman, and that he was able to use some of the techniques used on the urban film in making what is possibly the ultimate wilderness film. Primarily, however, it was the story that compelled him to sign on for the project, in its way utterly different from a body of work that also includes Amores Perros, Biutiful and Babel.

The main thing that attracted me was that it’s a story of endurance and human spirit surviving tough conditions physically and emotionally. Nothing is literally known but that he was attacked by a bear and has to survive. Beyond that, what really drives a human to survives those conditions. The fillmmaker’s duty is to make the improbable probable. What the human being can have inside his spirit, inside his mind, to survive [when] you are so exposed every day to the environment.”

Golin took the lead in answering questions about the challenges of making the film. “If it hadn’t been for Alejandro and Leo, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said. Inarittu immediately got involved in working on the screenplay, adding characters and story plot to the largely sketched out story.

The original budget, said Weston, was $60 million, but that “was just lawyers making a deal. Then we went out with a different line producer and the budget came in at almost double that. As he was (in post-production) on Birdman were in prep on Revenant.” Then they faced that warm winter, when the snow disappeared and the Chinook winds could bring seven weather changes in a day.

“Sometimes you’re God and sometimes you’re a creature,” Inarittu said of the obstacles they faced. “The film takes a over in itself and you have to be observing. Everybody’s growing as we are doing. Babel took us 11 months or a year shooting around the world. In this case, The Revenant starts in the late autumn and ends in the deep winter. I could not have done it [differently]. We were exposed to extremely difficult circumstances. Yet he said he never lost the support of the producing team, even when they realized they would have to shoot the end of the film elsewhere, in South America, as it turned out.

“We trusted Alejandro completely to finish the film in Argentina,” Weston said. “You know great movies get made by great directors. We just hang on.”

The film didn’t require a single reshoot, they said. “The worst thing for a director is when you don’t know what you want and don’t know how to get it,” Inarittu said. The next worst is when “you know what you want but don’t know how to get it. We knew what we wanted to do and how to get it. I have to feel fear. I have to feel uncertain, to have a lot of doubts. If I know the answers already, I personally do not feel [it’s the right project for me]. I need that adrenaline. For me, it was a beautiful experience

And...

‘The Revenant’ Director: “As Filmmakers, Sometimes You Are God”
The director of The Revenant, Alejandro G. Inarritu starring Leonardo DiCaprio reveals what it took to make The Revenant and what it’s like to make an epic movie.

The Revenant movie went over budget for a ton of reasons.

The Revenant director reveals why he casted Leonardo DiCaprio for the lead role.

Leonardo DiCaprio had to leave The Revenant to film The Wolf of Wall Street.

“As filmmakers, sometimes you are god, and sometimes you are a creature of the thing. In a way you have to be humble to hear what’s going on and see the transformation” – Alejandro G. Inarritu

Alejandro G. Inarritu’s latest movie, The Revenant is probably one of the most controversial movies he has ever made. Over the past few weeks reports have surfaced regarding set horrific set conditions for The Revenant that forced many crew members to quit and even Leonardo DiCaprio called the movie one of the hardest movies he has has ever worked on.

The Revenant’s Budget Problem

The Revenant’s budget was set at $60 million, but according to producers “it wasn’t based on any reality, no one had done any location scout or production schedule, it was just lawyers making a deal,” explained New Regency president and CEO Brad Weston. “We believed in it. … Along the way, it was a living, breathing movie.” Endlessly supportive, he said of Inarritu, “Every single creative decision he’s made has made the film better. … Great directors make great movies. Executives don’t.”

Alejandro G. Inarritu revealed what made this movie different and why the movie went over budget.

“There hasn’t been one day of The Revenant that hasn’t been difficult or challenging,” Inarritu admitted during the Producers’ Masterclass panel, held Saturday at New York City’s Time Warner Center. “This is the most ambitious project of my life, on many levels.”

Alejandro G. Inarritu continued by saying, “when you don’t know what you want and you don’t know how to get it,” “when you know what you want but you don’t know how to get it,” and his reason for trying not to compromise.

“We all knew what we wanted, we knew how to get it, but every obstacle was in the way [of what] we needed, and we knew what we needed. … No scene was added, everything was written, but we were just trying to accomplish what we had from the beginning.”

Alejandro G. Inarritu: “As filmmakers, sometimes you are god”

One of the biggest challenges for the movie was the fact that Inarritu decided to film the movie sequentially, something that is a no-no in major motion pictures. But, The Revenant director defended his filmmaking himself comparing himself to God.

“That’s the only way I understand the story and the characters, and that’s the way I leave the story room to grow and understand it, and make changes to suddenly what is required to do. As filmmakers, sometimes you are god, and sometimes you are a creature of the thing. In a way you have to be humble to hear what’s going on and see the transformation … even when it costs a little more. I’m not investing in visual effects, but emotional effects, and I think actors understand the emotions better when it’s chronological.”

Why Alejandro G. Innaritu cast Leonardo DiCaprio for the lead role

Alejandro G. Innaritu said he casted DiCaprio as Hugh Glass because of DiCaprio’s age and ability to remain in character throughout the entire production process. Even though production was paused so DiCaprio could film The Wolf of Wall Street, Innaritu felt DiCaprio’s philanthropic efforts toward environmental issues demonstrated the actor’s personal commitment to the role.
