Tarzan movie gets release date.

quote:

Alexander Skarsgård (HBO's "True Blood") has been set to star as the man who was orphaned as a baby and raised in the jungle, later to return to the urban jungle of London. The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction); Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street), as Jane Porter, who becomes the love of Tarzan's life; and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained).

David Yates, who helmed the last four "Harry Potter" blockbusters, will direct the new feature from a screenplay based on the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. A Jerry Weintraub production, the film is being produced by Weintraub (Behind the Candelabra, the "Ocean's" trilogy), together with David Barron and Alan Riche.

I feel like Sam Jackson is several steps away from being, dare I say, the black Nic Cage.

I'm betting on three nude scenes (and that's just in the opening credits).

The man never turns down a paycheck. Ever. (For real, his philosophy is to never turn down a role because he feels so fortunate to have consistent work in a tough business)

So, the traditional Tarzan porno but with better production values.

I'm game.

I don't mind his "returning to the urban jungle of London"... As long as he's portrayed as the James Bond / Batman type of character that he is in the books, and not the Tarzan/Frankenstein/Tonto character from SNL and the movies.

what an original idea for a movie!


did Hollywood mandate a percentage of all "new" films be remakes of old ones?

One ray of sunshine is that they're basing the characters and some of the plot on historical figures, events, and Edgar Rice Burroughs original intention for the Clayton/Greystoke family having business in Africa.

Jackson is playing George Washington Williams, a historical figure who had a similar mission as the fictional Lord Greystoke... reporting on the mistreatment of the native people of the Congo by the Belgians.
