20 Movies Starring Harry Potter Actors Coming In 2017
4. The Lost City Of Z – Robert Pattinson
Acclaimed director James Gray’s sixth feature film The Lost City of Z is based on a best-selling novel of the same name by writer David Grann and tells the true-life tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett who disappeared along with his son while searching for a mysterious ancient city somewhere deep within the Amazon rainforest in the 1920s. Sons of Anarchy actor Charlie Hunnam will star as Fawcett, with Robert Pattinson and Angus McFadyen providing support as fellow explorers Henry Costin and James Murray.
As the bodies of the missing explorer and his son have never been found, there’s been much speculation about their deaths. Some say they succumbed to the elements, others that they were murdered by a native tribe while some even purport Fawcett intentionally disappeared to establish a cult-like commune, so it will be interesting to see which angle the movie explores.
Not only that, The Lost City of Z has also gotten a tonne of praise since its New York Film Festival premiere this year, with film critic Todd McCarthy hailing it as ‘a rare piece of contemporary classical cinema’.
