Hunnam will make his return to TV in 2021 as the lead inShantaramfor Apple TV+, which is based on Gregrory David Roberts' best-selling novel. Hunnam had this to say about why he signed on to star inJungleland.
“For me, it was just the originality and singularity of the writing-the quality of the writing and the aspirations. I like the themes; I like the idea of creating an environment that would promote classic masculinity and then subvert the relationship of the two protagonists within that environment.”
Max Winkler has an obsession with Guy Ritchie and hisKing Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which Charlie Hunnam starred in. “I’d always wanted to write sort of an unconventional love story,” Winkler recently said when talking about makingJungleland. He continued, “and this one is about brothers.” Winkler knew from the start that he wanted to tackle “toxic masculinity and brotherhood, [because] this type of love story is not something you see a lot. We sent it to Charlie with our fingers crossed, and it was then that we really started kicking in gear.”
Max Winkler wrote and directedJungleland, which received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2019. Winkler is currently adapting and will direct adventure photographer Ben Moon’s memoir Denali: A Man, A Dog, A Friendship Of A Lifetime, which will reteam Winkler with Charlie Hunnam.
