Brad
Pitt to Play Real Life Indiana Jones
4/4/08
Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is leading the race to play the role of a
British explorer whose adventures are said to have inspired the character
of Indiana Jones.
The 44-year-old is the first choice to play Percy Fawcett, the
adventurer who disappeared in the Amazon jungle in 1925 during an
expedition to find a lost city.
Pitt is reported to have expressed interest in producing and starring
in the Lost City of Z, which tells the story of Fawcett's ill-fated
mission 83 years ago.
Generations of explorers have since attempted to retrace Fawcett's
route in an attempt to solve the mystery of his disappearance.
