The Lost City of Z
by David Grann
What Happens? In 1925, British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett and his company disappeared in the Amazon region while trying to find the titular legend. Over the next 70 years, various expeditions set out to try to find him.
When Will We See It? Brad Pitt’s Plan B production company acquired the rights to the book, which has been a best-seller since it was released in February, last year, with an eye to having Pitt star as Fawcett. But the busy actor has several other projects jockeying for his attention.
Art Imitates Life: Fawcett’s expedition was the inspiration behind Arthur Conan Doyle’s fantasy-adventure The Lost World.
