Did somebody say Inception reunion? That's right, Tom Hardy is now in negotiations to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant , a survival western based on Michael Punke's fact-based novel.

Vulture reports that Hardy will play a "supporting role" in the film, but it's unclear which. DiCaprio, who starred opposite Hardy in Christopher Nolan's Inception, has been attached to The Revenant for years but only recently made it his next film . Production will start begin September for a 2015 release.Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the story recounts the horrific tale of frontiersman Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) who was a 36-year-old member of a fur-trapping expedition to the Rocky Mountains in 1823 when he was mauled by a grizzly. The group's captain left behind two men -- John Fitzgerald and the legendary Jim Bridger -- to stay with Glass until he died from his injuries... but they didn't. Fearful that Indians weren't going to get them, Fitzgerald and Bridger stripped Glass of his weapons and equipment and fled. Glass didn't die. Instead, the mutilated trapper crawled over 200 miles through the wilderness to find Fitzgerald and Bridger and exact his revenge.Glass's tale was also the basis for the 1971 western Man in the Wilderness. That film starred Richard Harris and John Huston.
