Thursday, 17 December 2015. A few days ago was made official the image of Tarzan. The new film project of Hollywood, will be starred by Alexander Skarsgard and Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Jane. The news became known a year ago with the absence of Skarsgard in the comic com San Diego, in the tour of farewell of the worldwide success “True Blood”, the series of vampires that gave him worldwide success and in which he played the sensual and evil Eric Northman, the sheriff of area 5.
Alexander has proven his chameleon ability before the camera, since he has participated in several projects which have endowed him with artistic credibility. He has deep blue eyes, a soft blond hair, is from Swedish origin, has 39 years and measured more than 1.90 cm; that is, a perfect candidate to interpret the most famous wild man of cinema.
The project has been a little tight with regard to the details and images, we only had the few shoot that showed us the main thing of the movie. Now we see the actor with a much more shaped body and with a mane, definitely a change with regard to the athletic look that he had in “True Blood”.
What we know: the film has three fixed actors, first Skarsgard who we know a little bit more, then Margot Robbie, who awaits a great film year with the highly anticipated and successful Suicide Squad in which she personifies Harley Quinn, giving life to Jane in Tarzan, the wife of the young man from the jungle; and of antagonist we know Christoph Waltz as Leon Rom.
The argument of the story is when two years after the first contact of Tarzan with the city, is now known with the name John Clayton III; so maybe we will not see him so disoriented, but as a cosmopolitan and townsman man. The twist comes when he is convened to assist hiss natural space, threatened by Leon Rom, a ruthless villain; marking this reconnection of Tarzan with his primitive nature. The images are wild, intense and powerful.
Other versions: in 1939 we have one of the older versions of Tarzan, starred by Johnny Weissmüller; an Olympic swimmer who seemed be completely done to represent the character for be high and shaped. We remember him by the scene in that tormented by the noises of the city, decides to jump to the sea from a very high bridge. In real life the actor did not have a double, so that by himself and trusting in his talent for swimming he decided to jump; being a scene from a single recording and that as a result he broke his shoulder.
The film comes to light on 1 July 2016, and is called “The Legend of Tarzan”. We wait with great emotion to see the final product! We will see what holds one of the most watched stories in the film world. Without doubt, the fans will be waiting.
