Will Brad Pitt be going directly to James Gray's 'Lost City' after some 'Moneyball'?

Well, that seems to be the plan, according to Collider:

Director James Gray (Two Lovers) may be finally shooting his adaptation of David Grann’s bestselling non-fiction book The Lost City of Z. We first reported on the project back in December 2008 and in April 2009 we reported that Brad Pitt was attached to star. Now, Screen Daily reports that Lost City may get in front of cameras once Pitt wraps filming on Bennett Miller’s adaptation of Michael Lewis’ baseball statistics drama, Moneyball. The film has been gaining major heat from buyers at Cannes due to the combination of the material and Pitt’s star power.
Via Screen Daily, The Lost City of Z “takes place in the early twentieth century and charts 30 years in the life of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, a former decorated British soldier turned explorer.” The film has been gaining major heat from buyers at Cannes due to the combination of the material and Pitt’s star power.


-James Gray really got me back on his bandwagon with Two Lovers, and Brad Pitt has been doing some very strong work lately, so count me in...thoughts?

  1. I'm more excited for Moneyball, but both projects have my interest piqued...
