Gray will adapt David Grann's upcoming non-fiction book about British soldier and spy Percy Fawcett (Brad Pitt) who left Victorian society to explore in the Amazon.
He became obsessed by the idea of an advanced civilization he called Z, which he believed existed in the depths of the jungle. Along with his son, Fawcett headed into the jungle in 1925 in search of Z and was never seen again.
Gray says: "It is a story that will be told with an epic scale, with a main character who is larger than life"
The book by Grann, who works for The New Yorker, will hit stores in April.
