It's going to be a very light update this week as there are no major announcements coming from the MPAA Ratings Board this week. In fact, I found it a bit of a stretch to even come up with a movie I was interested in talking about at all. But, after all, I need something to talk about so I picked out the one film that has a decent cast and interesting story even if it's only hitting limited release. So, without further ado, here's your rather truncated weekly update.
The winner of the most-interesting release this week belongs to The Lost City of Z. Based on the best-selling novel by David Grann, the film follows British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett (played by Charlie Hunnam), who is convinced there is an ancient, advanced civilization somewhere in the Amazon, much to the derision of his colleges. Spurned on by the support of his family and aide de camp, he returns to the region time and time again searching for this lost civilization until his mysterious disappearance in 1926. Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Angus Macfadyen, Daniel Huttlestone and Edward Ashley help round out the cast. A little history, a little adventure - doesn't sound so bad. It's going to be a bit before we see this one, as it's not scheduled for release until April of 2017, but this limited release could be a sleeper and see a wider release if it catches on with audiences. Rated R for brief violence.
That's really the best I can do for this week - but if you are interested, here's the full MPAA Ratings Bulletin:
