Paramount, Brad Pitt Find Lost City

April 1, 2008

Paramount Pictures has preemptively bought "Lost City of Z," a David Grann manuscript about the search for a lost city in the Amazon, with Brad Pitt to produce the feature adaptation through his Plan B as a potential starring vehicle.

Variety says Grann's forthcoming nonfiction book concerns British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett, who was attempting to find the so-called City of Z when he and his party disappeared in 1925. Over the next 70 years, scores of explorers tried and failed to retrace Fawcett's path, including a 1996 expedition of Brazilian adventurers. Pitt would play Fawcett.

Doubleday is scheduled to publish "Lost City of Z," an expansion of Grann's September 2005 article in the New Yorker, in February.

Why does every cynical cocksmear on this site feel that that just absolutely HAVE to make it publicly known when a project doesn't appeal to them? When something doesn't appeal to me, I don't waste half a second actually WRITING that it doesn't interest. What a twat that guy was.

As for the Amazon/Pitt project, it sounds very interesting.

Sounds like someone wants to make "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" the movie, without paying for the rights... lol

Sounds interesting. Its easy to see now that Brad Pitt is Paramount's golden boy after they dropped Tom Cruise.
