I’ve been so busy from the holidays that I forgot to share the trailer for next year’s The Lost City of Z.  Based on a historical novel, The Lost City of Z features Charlies Hunman as explorer Percy Fawcett and follows him as he and his son (Tom Holland) and an assistant (Robert Pattinson) obsessively search for a missing civilization.

The Lost City of Z was directed by James Gray, who is one of those directors who has always been more popular with critics than audiences.  It seems like every year we’re told that Gray’s latest film will be an Oscar contender.  Remember The Immigrant?  How about We Own The Night?   Both of these films were promoted as being surefire Oscar contenders, both of them flopped at the box office, and both of them are now kind of forgotten.  Will that happen with The Lost City of Z?

Well, The Lost City of Z is one of those things that sounds like it should be a surefire Oscar contender (and it got very positive reviews when it premiered at the New York Film Festival) but it’s being released in April.  Traditionally, it’s thought that films released that early in the year will be forgotten by Oscar time.  However, both The Grand Budapest Hotel and Mad Max: Fury Road were released early in the year and both managed to do quite well when the Oscar nominations were announced.

So, we’ll see what happens!
