A new version of Tarzan

An incarnation of the iconic character will be portrayed by Alexander Skarsgård who also starred in hit television series True Blood is coming on the big screen. The film enttield The Legend of Tarzan will be out in theaters on July 1, 2016. The idea of the movie is to return moviegoers to a wondrous Africa, but using a romantic way, this film is likened with previous movies like Anna and the King portrayed by Jodie Foster in 1999. This film has been directed by David Yates, and English film maker who also directed movies like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The film will take on a different approach to the Tarzan classic that was released in 1910 writings. They will include a romantic twist that has never been seen before, it will be different from the other pop culture adaptations that people are used to. Most of the movies about Tarzan focused on the story of how he was raised by simians and eventually became the lord of the jungle. In this new movie adaptation, John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, who was separated for more than a decade with his original home in the Congo and was fully immersed as a British gentleman in the 1880s in Victorian London and will depict a story of his life with his beloved wife Jane Porter played by Margot Robbie.

The wife of Tarzan, Jane will be heavily factored in this movie. Jane is a strong and assertive woman, and the role will be portrayed by a sexy modern woman who was able to look after herself. This vision was depicted by Yates as a director in this new film. It will be a story of Tarzan and Jane, of two human beings and how they were able to save each other.

Skarsgård was creafully selected by Yates, the director wanted the fact that he was born in Sweden, and found his career in America; this according to him is a story about a man who has done quite well in another territory. Skarsgård also has a different grace and charm to him, and is able to provide a good archetype for Tarzan’s character. They chose him, because Tarzan needed to have muscles, but muscles that are leaner and more vertical like that of a modern man, rather than a square jawed stereotype that people are often used to in other Tarzan made movies. Skarsgård had to undergo intense training before the principal photography for the film. He had to undergo strict training and discipline; he was not able to see his family and friends during the preparation for the film and he had to wake up early at 4:30 am in the morning but that the film was definitely worth doing.

The movie will be different from the classic tale, it will not focus on taming the beast according to actor Skarsgård. Rather, it would be about a man who is holding back, and will slowly revert back to his animalistic side. Other actors cast in movie, would include Samuel L. Jackson, he will play the real life George Washington Williams. The film will also feature Christoph Waltz as the Belgian villain in the story named Captain Leon Rom.  It will be a highly anticipated film this 2016.
