Paramount la ales pe regizorul James Gray (We Own the Night) pentru filmul “The Lost City of Z”, spune Variety. Gray va adapta cartea lui David Grann iar Brad Pitt va juca in rolul unui soldat englez si spion Percy Fawcett.
Cartea lui Grann va fi publicata in luna aprilie de catre Doubleday. Paramount a achizitionat drepturile de a face film dupa aceasta carte, devreme in acest an iar Pitt va fi producatorul alaturi de casa lui de productie Plan B.
Fawcett a parasit societatea victoriana pentru a explora Amazonul, si devine obsedat de ideea unei civilizatii foarte avansate pe care ii numeste “Z”, civilizatie care crede ca exista in adancul junglei. Alaturi de fiul sau, Fawcett pleaca in jungla in 1925 in cautarea civilizatiei “Z” si nu va mai fi vazut niciodata.

Paramount has set We Own the Night helmer James Gray to direct The Lost City of Z, reports Variety. Gray will adapt the David Grann book for Brad Pitt to star in as British soldier and spy Percy Fawcett.
The nonfiction book by Grann, a staffer at the New Yorker, will be published in April by Doubleday. Paramount acquired it earlier this year for Pitt to produce through his Paramount-based Plan B.
Fawcett left Victorian society to explore in the Amazon, and he became obsessed by the idea of an advanced civilization he called Z, which he believed existed in the depths of the jungle. Along with his son, Fawcett headed into the jungle in 1925 in search of Z and was never seen again.
