Why is that our headline? Who would possibly assume that’s a plot point of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s adaptation of Michael Punke’s novel? Drudge Report.
Their actual headline:
And here’s a choice excerpt:
The bear flips Leo over and thrusts and thrusts during the explicit mauling.“He is raped — twice!”
I’ve seen The Revenant. So I can assure you that among its many harrowing moments, there is no bear-on-man rape. However, I cannot explain how someone watched this movie’s mauling scene (teased in the trailer) and walked away with that reading.
All the same, Drudge’s uproar spurred the film’s distributor to issue a statement to EW:
“As anyone who has seen the movie can attest, the bear in the film is a female who attacks Hugh Glass because she feels he might be threatening her cubs. There is clearly no rape scene with a bear.”
But hey, at least Twitter had fun.
1. Is that a thing? Like would a bear really rape a human?
2. If this doesn't get him the oscar….. WHAT WILL HE DO NEXT.
