Fox forced to clarify that The Revenant doesn’t have a “bear rape” scene
In one of those classic press statements that every publicist dreads having to deliver, a representative for Fox has clarified that the upcoming revenge thriller The Revenant doesn’t feature a scene in which Leonardo DiCaprio is raped by a bear. This notification—made to no less a paper of record than Entertainment Weekly—comes after a Drudge Report post earlier today that claimed that the new film from Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu “features a shocking scene of a wild bear raping Leo DiCaprio!” (Exclamation point courtesy of the original source, and a possibly unhealthy fascination with the idea of the Wolf Of Wall Street star being assaulted by a bear.)
