New The Lost City Of Z Teaser Trailer – Charlie Hunnam, Tom Holland & Robert Pattinson hunt for El Dorado

January 22, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, THE LOST CITY OF Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region.

‘Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages”, the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.’

Take a look at the new UK trailer below. The movie will be in UK cinemas on March 24th. [Read more…]

The Lost City Of Z Teaser Trailer – Charlie Hunnam, Tom Holland & Robert Pattinson hunt for El Dorado

December 22, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

How quickly things change. A couple of years again, any film with Robert Pattinson in would have screamed his presence from the rooftops. However, with The Lost City Of Z, you’d hardly know he was there (although the ridiculous beard in the last shot means we probably wouldn’t have recognised him anyway. Instead the focus is on Charlie Hunnam, and to a lesser extent Tom Holland.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, THE LOST CITY OF Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925. An epically-scaled tale of courage and obsession, told in Gray’s classic filmmaking style, THE LOST CITY OF Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and those individuals driven to achieve greatness at any cost.’

The movie is due in cinemas next Spring. [Read more…]

Charlie Hunnam Going To Lost City of Z With Robert Pattinson

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideIt’s taking a while to get the cast of Lost City Of Z cast together. A few months ago Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller came onboard, joining Benedict Cumberbatch. However the Sherlock star’s Doctor Strange commitments have cause him to drop out and so he’s now being replaced by Charlie Hunnam, according to Variety.

The film will be directed by James Gray, based on David Grann’s book about doomed Amazon explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (Hunnam).

Here’s a few more details about the book: ‘In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions around the globe, Fawcett embarked with his twenty-one-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization—which he dubbed “Z”—existed. Then he and his expedition vanished.’

The movie should shoot later this year.

The Immigrant Trailer – Marion Cotillard finds Jeremy Renner & Joaquin Phoenix in America

April 18, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Who’d have thought it? When some immigrants got to America in the past, everything was all roses and puppies!

That certainly seems true in James Gray’s The Immigrant, which stars Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jeremy Renner, which premiered last year at Cannes.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) and her sister sail to New York from their native Poland in search of a new start and the American dream. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda (Angela Sarafyan) is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando (Jeremy Renner) – a dashing stage magician who is also Bruno’s cousin – restores her self-belief and hopes for a brighter future, becoming her only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself.’

The film hits US cinemas in May. [Read more…]

Robert Pattinson Joins The Lost City of Z, Alongside Benedict Cumberbatch

November 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-pattinson-diorRobert Pattinson has gone more for some unusual movies outside the Twilight franchise, such as Cosmopolis and Remember Me. He’s currently got another film with Cronenberg in the works now (Map To The Stars) and one with Werner Herzog (Queen of the Desert). Now he’s planning to add The Lost City of Z, starring alongside Benedict Cumberbatch.

The film will be directed by James Gray, based on David Grann’s book about doomed Amazon explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (Cumberbatch). Screen Daily’s print issue (via TheWrap) says that Pattinson is now on board. There’s no news on who he will play. Some are suggesting he’ll be Fawcett’s son, who also went on expeditions with him, although he seems a little close in age to Cumberbatch for that.

Here’s a few more details about the book: ‘In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case.

Then he and his expedition vanished.’

Benedict Cumberbatch Heads Off To The Lost City Of Z

September 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

benedict-cumberbatchThanks to Sherlock and Star Trek Into Darkness, Benedict Cumberbatch is ridiculously in demand, so much so that just last week he decided to drop out of Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak. Now we might know what film he wants to do instead (and no, it’s not Star Wars VII as completely speculative rumours would have you believe), as Deadline reports that he’s signed up for The Lost City Of Z.

James Gray is directing, resurrecting a project he’s been trying to get off the ground for years, but which fell apart after Gray got into a fight with Paramount over his pay and his star, Brad Pitt, went off to make Killing Them Softly.

Based on David Grann’s novel, which follows ‘Percy Fawcett (the role Cumberbatch is in talks to play), who in 1925 headed into the depths of the Amazon jungles in Brazil. Fawcett was there to map the jungle and, hobbled by malaria, he discovered a mythical city he called The Lost City Of Z. Scorned by peers who claimed that this ancient kingdom was a fraud, Fawcett headed back into the jungle with his son and one other, braving the dangers of disease, insects, snakes, poison darts and other hazards to reinforce his discovery. None of them were ever seen again.’

Pitt still attached to produce, and it appear Gray has the money he needs to get the film made.
