After his Oscar win for "Birdman," Mexican-born director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is working on his sixth film "The Revenant."

The film tells the story of a frontiersman, Hugh Glass, who in the 1820s sets out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling. The movie is also expected to be a big Oscar contender at the end of the year.

The movie reunites Inarritu with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, who also won the Oscar for "Birdman." Nicknamed Chivo, the cinematographer recently shot "The Revenant" and many expect the director of photography to be nominated at the Oscars next year. On top of Lubezki's work in "The Revenant," the cinematographer also worked on Terrence Malick's "Knights of Cup," which premiered at Berlin and on Rodrigo Garcia's "Last Days in the Desert," which opened at Sundance to rave reviews.

Meanwhile, the Best Actor winner Eddie Redmayne can currently be seen in "Jupiter Ascending."

The film also stars Alicia Vikander and Amber Heard and is slated for 2016.

Best Actress winner Julianne Moore also has a film in theaters entitled "Seventh Son." She will later be in the last installment of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2." At the end of the year, Lionsgate is expected to release the film "Freeheld," which sold at Berlin and created a lot of buzz. The movie is expected to be an Oscar contender and it may even get the actress another nomination.
