“I had the idea that there was an area of the planet no one had ever really covered,” Gunton told The Hollywood Reporter last spring. “It’s the Americas. What’s so exciting is that nowhere has this range. You cannot imagine anything more diverse. As a wildlife filmmaker, you are looking for superlatives. It hasn’t got elephants but it’s got everything else. [We] are delivering things people have never seen before."
