Brad Pitt was originally slated to star as Percy Fawcett.

Director James Gray wrote to Francis Ford Coppola who helmed "The Apocalypse Now" asking for advice about shooting in the jungle. Coppola's two-word reply reads: "Don't go."

Benedict Cumberbatch was cast as Percy Harrison Fawcett but drop out due to schedule conflict. Charlie Hunnam replaced him.
