Awesome.
I read the book years ago, and it was an incredible read. It was about a famous explorer obsessed with finding a lost city in the Amazon in the 1920's.
The ending of the book in particular gave me goosebumps, as the journalist narrator retraces the footsteps and, well, you'll have to read it yourself.
Good to see a movie being made about it, with a good leading man.
