Production has commenced on James Gray’s “Lost City of Z”, starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller, Robert Pattinson, and “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland. The movie will first be filmed in Belfast for five weeks and continue filming in Colombia throughout September and October.
David Grann’s acclaimed New York Times best-selling book serves as the basis for the movie which MICA Entertainment is financing. Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are producing via Plan B Entertainment along with Anthony Katagas and Dale Johnson. MadRiver Pictures’ Marc Butan is executive producing as are MICA Entertainment’s Julie B. May and Glenn Murray. Sierra/Affinity is representing international sales of the title with CAA overseeing domestic rights to the film.
Lost City of Z follows Percy Fawcett, a conscripted soldier and born explorer who disappeared in the 1920s while searching for a mythical city in the Amazon jungles of Brazil that he believed he discovered on a prior expedition. Paramount is expected to release the film sometime in 2016.
Holland will have his Marvel Cinematic Universe introduction as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, and will follow that up with a starring role in Sony/Marvel’s Untitled Spider-Man Reboot for summer 2017 release. He will next be seen opposite Chris Hemsworth in Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea.
