LOS ANGELES — Filmmaker James Gray specializes in crime dramas, so he was surprised when Brad Pitt’s Plan B production company offered him The Lost City of Z job. Gray accepted the test and eventually wrote and directed the movie based on David Grann’s non-fiction book. It profiles British explorer Percy Fawcett (played by Charlie Hunnam in the film), who eventually disappeared in the Amazon jungle while searching for El Dorado. Despite the adventure tone of the production, Gray decided to add a few more metaphysical layers to the movie. “It takes place entirely in space,” Gray says of the movie.
