The Lost City of Z now playing in New York and Los Angeles and expanding nationwide April 21st, I recently sat down with Tom Holland to talk about the making of the film. During the interview, he talked about memorable moments from filming, how much he knew about the story prior to getting involved, shooting on film, and more. In addition he shared a great story about meeting Mark Hamill after the premiere of Captain America: Civil War in London, what happened to Shane Carruth’s The Modern Ocean, how fortunate he is to play Spider-Man, how he wants to wear a Deadpool costume the next time he’s at Comic-Con, and what Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's A Current War with Benedict Cumberbatch is about.

If you’re not familiar with The Lost City of Z, the film is based on David Grann‘s best-selling book, “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon”, and it tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages”, the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.

Loaded with exceptional performances, breathtaking cinematography, and a fantastic script, I absolutely loved the film and strongly recommend checking it out when it’s playing near you. It’s definitely one of my favorite films of 2017. For more on The Lost City of Z, you can read Chris Cabin’s glowing review.
