James Gray’s “The Lost City of Z” was partially filmed in the rainforests of South America, meaning the stars of the period drama faced a treacherous environment not unlike that of their characters.
“It was the whole experience that was extreme,” Tom Holland said in an interview with TheWrap’s Stuart Brazell. “It wasn’t just one thing, it was everything. We were really in the thick of it, we were thrown in at the deep end … The jungle is relentless, there’s no breaks.”
Charlie Hunnam stars in the film, written and directed by Gray, as Percy Fawcett, the real-life early 20th Century British explorer who made several trips to the Amazon in search of a lost city, only to eventually disappear himself.
