Interesting trivia on Robert Pattinson's The Lost City Of Z
One of the fascinating facts about the movie was when Director James Gray wrote to Francis Ford Coppola, who directed Apocalypse Now and the iconic Godfather movies, asking for advice about shooting in the jungle. Coppola's two-word reply was "Don't go." When Coppola decided to make Apocalypse Now, he received the same advice from the talented director, Roger Corman. Actors Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson both lost around 20-40 lb by only eating the minimum per day while filming in the deserted jungle. Percy Fawcett's father was addicted to gambling, which resulted in his family fortunes being squandered. Later on in his life, Percy is burdened with the responsibility of answering for his father's misdemeanor.
The filming of The Lost City Of Z included several gunshots and humongous explosions that scared several local farmers. They went ahead and complained to local newspapers and TV stations about the same. Actor Tom Holland broke his nose on his very last day of shooting. The character of Percy Fawcett was originally supposed to be portrayed by actor Brad Pitt. However, after discussions, both Pitt and the director felt that a British actor would do better justice to the role.
As the role was given to actor Benedict Cumberbatch, the situation gave Brad Pitt the opportunity to take the lead role in the hit film, World War Z. Later it was discovered that Benedict's pregnant wife did not prefer to give birth in the middle of the Amazon forest and so finally, they signed on with actor Charlie Hunnam. Another fun fact about the film was how the lead actor Charlie Hunnam was not permitted to eat and sleep in the battlefield trenches as he would have liked. This restriction was probably due to the strict Insurance parameters.
