Just saw the new trailer on GMA. Looks good but short. They are still making it look like an origin story not 10 years after he's been civilized. I think people who don't know the books are still going to confuse it with the Disney movie. Hopefully there are more trailers coming out soon.

ETA Here's the link. Longer version than the GMA one.

There's more origin story in the trailer than I was expecting. But perhaps that's the result of feedback from more screenings and reaction to the first trailer.
At some point they are going to have to give away a little more of the plot in the trailers.
I did like it though, visually it looks good. I liked the shot where's he rubbing heads with the lioness.

I think they have to re-visit that. Tarzan has been re-done many times but for some younger audiences this is still going to be new. It's inevitable it has to play a large part IMO for there to be weight to the reason he has to return. Jane isn't the only motivation for his actions. His connection to his surroundings and his past needs to feel authentic, even if it is a CGI film.

Good trailer. I would have like to hear him speak but in general a good second trailer.

Who needs to hear him speak? I'd watch 2 hours of him strutting around, looking all soulful and grunting as he's swinging through the trees. ;) We better get used to it, because he won't be doing any talking in Mute.

The scene with the lioness is my favorite. He moves like a big cat. I think he took that lion documentary he watched years ago to heart.

:laugh: True enough. He's very easy on the eye.

These two trailers aren't do anything though to alleviate my concerns about Alex and the accent he'll be using for the film. So, the least they can do in the next one is show him actually talking. You know, something more than "Me, Tarzan" :p

I do love that part with the lion as well. And the last shot in the previous trailer of Tarzan will his ally ape, in the rain, all heaving and primeval :angel:. Ok, I'll stop. But yes, I'd like some words from Lord Greystoke.

Oh, I knew that they were going to have some origin flashbacks, they have to. I just wasn't expecting so much in the trailer.

I can't tell if I really liked the lioness scene because I really like cats, and in fact do the head to head rubbing with my mini panther black cat. Or because I hope that instead of Alex rubbing his head against some green screened inanimate object they had a mocap actor who got to rub heads with Alex. :p

Michael D is 'disappointed':

When the first trailer for The Legend of Tarzan came out, I braced my loins, because I expected to see Alexander Skarsgard pounding his chest and yodeling out the Tarzan yell while only wearing a tiny dick skirt. But the makers behind the newest Tarzan movie gave *******s and pussies a case of the frowns when they decided he shouldn’t wear a loincloth. Tarzan wears capris. I guess in this one, Tarzan makes a stop at a Talbot’s outlet to pick up some casual capris before going back to the jungle. Another Tarzan trailer was released today, and once again, ASkars is wearing shorty pants that should only be worn by a stay-at-home mom making her way to Safeway to stock up on Lean Cuisines.

If Hollywood makes a Tarzan movie starring ASkars and he’s not almost naked in it, did they really make a Tarzan movie at all? Not only that, but they also majorly screwed up by not playing the Martika classic “If You’re Tarzan, I’m Jane” in the trailer. Oh-e-oh-e-oh!

**** this movie. I call for a boycott! How dare they mess with our genitals’ emotions like this? (Who am I fooling? I’ll still be at the first showing at 12:01 on opening morning and yes, I’ll be the one drunkenly screaming “TAKE IT OFF!” at the screen.)

I keep forgetting that Alexander Skarsgard has a big summer movie coming out. Do you think that bodes well, that I keep forgetting about Tarzan? Warner Bros kept pouring money into Tarzan, hoping that they could somehow re-launch this franchise and have it be some huge tentpole film. And I’m not sure it’s going to happen for Warner Bros, but I do hope that we see more of Skarsgard in the coming months. He’s currently in Austin for SXSW to promote War on Everyone, and he chatted with E! News about how he got his insane Tarzan body. It involved chicken cutlets and tears.

On swinging from tree to tree: “It didn’t look very good. I’m not very good at that stuff.” He admits a trapeze artist with 20 years of experience did most of the “crazy stuff” in the film. “I took off and did a little bit of it and then I sat in my chair with my coffee. He did the amazing stuff and then I came back and did the landing.”

His Tarzan body: “I obviously had a very, very good trainer. I basically had him and a nutritionist. I’ve never done anything like this before, this extreme. I was just really nervous. It was a big challenge and I didn’t know how my body would respond to the training and diet.” His routine for several months before and while shooting included “a lot of chicken cutlets and crunches,” Skarsgård said with a laugh.

His trainer gave him one cheat day: “He was like, ‘Alex, let’s go for lunch,’ and we went to this Italian restaurant in Notting Hill and sat down and he was like, ‘Order what you want. I started crying. He was like, ‘Have pasta,’ and I had it and then he was like, ‘Are you still hungry?’ I was like, ‘Yeah!’ He was like, ‘Have a pizza then, have some tiramisu.’ It was the best meal of my life.”

I can totally imagine crying with joy if someone told me I could have pasta after months of chicken and crunches. I also think it’s interesting that Alex is being pretty open about his lack of stunt work in the film. While no one really thought Alex would be doing ALL of his own stunts, I have to think that he probably did look pretty awkward swinging from fake ropes. Usually, movie stars try to pretend that they’re doing as much stunt work as possible, but Alex isn’t playing that game.

Here’s a pic of Alex at SXSW:
