Inside The Revenant’ Book Set, Signed by Leonardo DiCaprio

As 20^th Century Studios and New Regency prepare to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant, Insight Editions has announced a new publishing effort centered on the Oscar-winning frontier survival epic and its behind-the-scenes.

But this are no mere making-of book. Insight, working hand-in-hand with Iñárritu and in partnership with New Regency, is putting out a premium luxury book set aimed at the ultra cinephile and film book collector. Upping the collectibility factor, the package comes signed not only by Iñárritu but by star Leonardo DiCaprio as well.

The Making of The Revenant limited edition set is housed in a bespoke clamshell box, the clothbound collection includes two debossed, foil-stamped hardcover volumes, as well as a traditionally bound facsimile of the original shooting script.

One volume is a facsimile of Iñárritu’s rare photography book, originally created as a personal wrap gift for cast and crew and reproduced exclusively for this volume.

The second volume is the actual The Making of The Revenant tome by author Gina McIntyre, offering an in-depth look at the film’s production, creative vision, and behind-the-scenes journey through detailed commentary and striking images by on-set photographer Kimberly French.

The limited edition set is restricted to only 500 numbered copies, signed by Iñárritu, DiCaprio, and cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki, each of whom received an Academy Award for their work on the film.

While that alone should make the set highly coveted, within that batch is the so-called Signed Print Edition of The Making of the Revenant. This one has the above books and script but also comes with an exclusive 16” x 20” giclée print on archival Hot Press Bright paper, signed by DiCaprio.

Those editions, in which the collector is receiving a double dose of DiCaprio signatures, are limited to the first 150 of the 500 numbered copies.

The publication date for both editions is June 2 but they are available for pre-order. The Making of the Revenant (Limited Edition) is retailing for $750 and The Making of The Revenant (Signed Print Edition) will sell for $1,100.

20^th Century and New Regency are bringing back Revenant to select Imax theaters nationwide on February 26 and March 1. It will also be re-released internationally in the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico.

To celebrate the film’s 10^th anniversary, Iñárritu will participate in a special Q&A panel discussion Feb. 26, where he will be joined by the film’s star DiCaprio via Zoom. A few tickets still remain for that event but they are going fast.
