7 Most Anticipated Movie Scenes Still To Come In 2015

2. Single-Take Battle Scene - The Revenant

The Scene: It's actually tough to single this down to one single battle scene, because if the recently-released first trailer for The Revenant makes anything clear, it's that a) the film has a ton of battle sequences and b) a lot of them are probably going to be one-shot single-take scenes. Accounts from those who have worked on the production have confirmed that at least a couple of the battles will unfold this way. Why We Can't Wait To See It: Because if Alejandro G. Iñárritu proved anything with his Best Director and Best Picture-winning Birdman, it's that the guy knows how to pull off technically astonishing set-pieces, with the help of his trusty cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (who is also lensing The Revenant). Footage shown off so far depicts an extremely grizzled Leonardo DiCaprio taking part in a battle scene on the ground and then riding on horseback and firing back at his enemies in another, and whichever one of the many battles ends up being the stand-out, it's surely going to be one of the most exhilarating movie moments of the year. With a somewhat chaotic production and spiraling budget, it's possible that the movie could be a bust, but with so many proven talents on-board, it just doesn't seem very likely. Expect a dumptruck full of Oscar coming this movie's way next February.
