Robert Pattinson Movie Trouble: 'The Lost City of Z' Violence Upsets Locals, Scares Animals

Robert Pattinson's currently in Ireland busy filming James Gray's new action flick, "The Lost City of Z." But why are locals so upset with the "Twilight" heartthrob along with big-name co-stars Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller, Tom Holland, and movie producer Brad Pitt?

Some scenes are way too intense, and such filming disturbs the livelihood of farmers throughout the nearby countryside.

Sadly, animals grazing the land around Ballygally are extremely frightened by all the disruptive noise:

"It started last Monday with bangs, gunfire and small explosions. Then on Tuesday the bigger explosions started," native farmer Jason McKillion recently told Belfast Live. "The explosions shook the house and windows and the boom echoed through the glen. My neighbor's horses were in the field near the film set and they went spare, trying to jump the ditches."

And the staged violence just wouldn't stop:

"On Wednesday, there was another explosion and my animals went daft. The chickens were squawking and the dog was outside, barking and shaking," McKillion reveals. "On Friday morning, it sounded like a war was going on, and later there was another explosion. My neighbor was feeding bulls in the field when it happened. They stampeded and knocked him and the feeding trough over" (via Inquisitr).

Unfortunately, no one from the set (not even down-to-earth R-Patz) gave any initial warning about such annoyances:

"I support companies filming here, but they need to keep local people in the loop," McKillion explains. "If we had a schedule, we could put the animals into barns. At the minute we are on tenterhooks."

Which makes sense, considering locals aren't used to such changes:

"It's totally agricultural here, totally tranquil. There's never a sound and that makes it more disruptive as the animals aren't used to the noise and they just went hysterical," he concludes. "This is supposed to be an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and tranquillity. It was madness for a week and we don't know if filming is finished yet."

Do MstarsNews readers agree? While the film continues production, a spokeswoman for NI Screen recently confirmed that the crew would soon address such issues, and those affected would be included in a revised contact.
