With its World Premiere at the New York Film Festival unfolding tomorrow night, Amazon Studios and Bleecker Street have finally locked down when the rest of us will get to see the new film by James Gray.
“The Lost City Of Z” will open on April 21, 2017. That’s actually a pretty good weekend for the movie, that will likely open in limited release and expand from there. The only other films slotted in that frame at the moment is the Rosario Dawson/Katherine Heigl thriller “Unforgettable” and the Robert De Niro family comedy “War With Grandpa.”
Based on the book by David Grann, and starring Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, and Tom Holland, the film will tell the true story of Lieutenant Colonel Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), the British military-man-turned-explorer, whose search for a lost city deep in the Amazon grows into an increasingly feverish, decades-long magnificent obsession that takes a toll on his reputation, his home life with his wife and children, and his very existence.
So mark your calendars, and stay tuned for our review. [THR]
