Hollywood stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are set to begin filming their new movie in Calgary next week.
The highly-anticipated film, titled “The Lost City of Z”, is based on the bestselling novel by David Grann and will be directed by James Gray. It follows the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who disappeared in the Amazon while searching for a mythical city.
Production for the film will take place in various locations around Calgary, including the historic Heritage Park and the picturesque Kananaskis Country. The city’s stunning landscapes and diverse terrain make it the perfect backdrop for this adventure-filled story.
This is not the first time Calgary has been chosen as a filming location for major Hollywood productions. In recent years, the city has become a popular destination for filmmakers due to its versatile scenery and generous tax incentives.
The film is expected to bring a significant economic boost to the city, with over 200 local crew members and hundreds of extras being hired for the production. It is estimated that the film will bring in millions of dollars to the local economy.
Calgary’s film commissioner, Luke Azevedo, expressed his excitement for the upcoming production, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson to our city and showcase all that Calgary has to offer to the film industry.”
The stars themselves have also expressed their enthusiasm for filming in Calgary, with Lawrence stating, “I’ve heard so many great things about the city and I can’t wait to explore it while we’re here.”
The film is set to be released in theaters in 2022 and is already generating buzz among fans of the book and the stars. With the start of filming just around the corner, the anticipation for “The Lost City of Z” is only growing stronger.
