Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan in EMPIRE magazine (March 2016) digital issue #LegendofTarzan

“It’s about Lord Greystroke going back to Tarzan,” explains Alexander Skarsgård. “It’s about someone who’s very controlled, someone who keeps a lid on the animal within. Then slowly that savage part of him comes out.”

“They’re really making the most of Alex’s body,” laughs Jane, Margot Robbie. “Jane ends up in tatters too, but not quite to the extent of Tarzan.”

“Tarzan has never been done with a real wallop of action and entertainment and scale and budget,” says director David Yates. “That’s what we’re doing. I hope it’ll surprise people.”

Lord of the Abs: Alexander Skarsgård Is the New Tarzan

by Owen Williams/Edited by Chris Hewitt

Tarzan turns 104 this year, and he’s never looked better. The “dad at the beach holding it in” look favoured by Johnny Weissmuller has gone, and Alexander Skarsgård has brought his washboard abs to The Legend of Tarzan. “They’re really making the most of Alex’s body,” laughs his Jane, Margot Robbie. “Jane ends up in tatters too, but not quite to the extent of Tarzan.’



Cinema has given Edgar Rice Burroughs’ creation short shrift recently, as you’ll know if you’re one of the few who saw 2014′s mo-capped Tarzan (starring Kellan Lutz), or the fewer still who saw Casper Van Dien out-acted by his own loincloth in 1998′s Tarzan and the Lost City. But director David Yates’ lavish blockbuster hopes to show that there’s more to the Lord of the Apes than just swinging around the jungle. Forgoing the origin-story route, Yates’ take catches up with this Tarzan after he’s been civilised in London, when something draws him back to the jungle.

“It’s about Lord Greystoke going back to being Tarzan,” explains Skarsgård, “It’s about someone who’s very controlled, someone who keeps a lid on the animal within. Then slowly that savage part of him comes out.”

Yates was attracted by the idea of making the biggest-budget Tarzan since Disney’s Phil Collins-drenched animation in 1999. “Tarzan has never been done with a real wallop of action and entertainment and scale and budget,” he says. “That’s what we’re doing. I hope it’ll surprise people.”

Yet Yates isn’t straying too hard from the template. “There’s still a Tarzan’s-friends-with-all-the-animals vibe,” laughs Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the hero’s buddy, George Washington Williams. “And vine-swinging, and all that good ****.”

The Legend of Tarzan is out on July 1 (U.S.)/July 8 (UK).

New Picture (1).png

First clip from Alexander Skarsgard’s movie “War on Everyone”. http://www.berlinale.de/en/programm/berlinale_programm/datenblatt.php?film_id=201606741#tab=video25

Meet bad cop and bad cop…….

Terry & Bob: tougher than Starsky & Hutch, funnier than Laurel & Hardy and better looking than Siegfried & Roy. These hard-to-impress buddy cops blackmail the entirety of New Mexico, plant cocaine on small-time hoods with bubble perms, consume it there and then, drink non-stop, ram their snazzy car into a wall, return to wife and kids (as Bob does, played by Michael Pena), marvel at ‘chicks with dicks’, or fall in love with the right sort of girl (as Terry does, played by Alexander Skarsgård). But a British Lord, especially a real one, will not allow himself to be pushed around in the manner to which these carefree, chaotic cops have become accustomed. Terry and Bob get more entangled in a web of blackmail, abduction and drugs than they could ever have imagined even in their wildest acid-nightmares …
Irish director John Michael McDonagh will be familiar to Panorama audiences through his sarcastic portrait of small-town cops The Guard and his quick-witted drama about sexual abuse in the church, Calvary. His latest film is a bitter, hyperactive, tragicomic trip against a crazy backdrop of references to cop films and crime series, with great music and two male leads who really take it to the limit.

:happydance: Yay! I love the trailer, I love the blurb, there is not a thing I don't love about this movie, and Alex just blew me away :p This is definitely my sort of black comedy ;)

You could grate a banana on those abs? Interesting visual image there! :p

We should be hearing more and more about Tarzan I hope.

I suspect that WB will start really promoting at the end of March, beginning of April, once Batman vs. EmoSuperman is released.

I love the trailer, I love the blurb, there is not a thing I don't love about this movie, and Alex just blew me away This is definitely my sort of black comedy

Yes, I love this description: “Terry & Bob: tougher than Starsky & Hutch, funnier than Laurel & Hardy and better looking than Siegfried & Roy. These hard-to-impress buddy cops blackmail the entirety of New Mexico, plant cocaine on small-time hoods with bubble perms..."

This looks like fun.


"War on Everyone" will be screening during SXSW festival which runs March 11-19 in Austin.

Excellent. With Berlin next week and SXSW next month, at least we know he won't be ninja during those few days.

Tku for the sxsw news :) Another date to cross fingers for ;)

You are so sweet and funny, lol. These probably won't help to cure your mind blindness either ;) And yes, Alex does often get overlooked for awards, I think mostly because his acting is so natural and understated, although Tarzan will definitely bring him to more people's attention, and if WoE is as good as it looks, I'm sure his performance will also gain extra fans :smile1:

WoE looks like it's gonna be an excellent and very funny dark movie and I'm really looking forward to it :) Added bonus: Alex in a blue suit, and super short hair :p
