Tom Holland, the young actor who was recently cast as the new Spider-Man, has signed on to join Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller in James Gray’s “Lost City of Z,” which just started filming in Belfast.
“Lost City of Z” follows Percy Fawcett (Hunnam), 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.
Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are producing via Plan B Entertainment along with Anthony Katagas and Dale Johnson.
MICA Entertainment is financing the film, which is based on David Grann’s bestselling book.
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.
After five weeks in Belfast, production will continue in Colombia throughout September and October.
Holland has been busy filming “Captain America: Civil War,” and he’ll soon be seen in Ron Howard’s whale tale “In the Heart of the Sea.”
