I hope for all of his family and friends to show.

Is It Time To Rediscover Alexander Skarsgård?
Remember when True Blood went from fun, campy-garbage to absolute garbage-garbage? I do because I saw that ***** to the bitter end. But somewhere around the time we stopped loving True Blood, we made a major mistake. We forgot to continually appreciate the fact that Alexander Skarsgård is hot.

Like really ****ing hot. And he’s granting us the absolute delight of doing The Legend of Tarzan press tour in spectacular fashion. Do you need to hear Alex saying really kind things about the Orlando shooting?

“It is devastating,” he said. “I want to support my brothers and sisters in the LGBT community. Intolerance is just unacceptable and it is horrific what happened and it is also scary how in the States they try to politicize it.
“It is important to know that this was not done by 1.3 billion Muslims, it is very alarming when certain politicians try to turn this into a religious war. We need to unite people and spread the message of love.”

And just in case you think his support of the LGBT community is a publicity stunt, this video might help ease those fears.

Seriously. Guy’s made out with Nicole Kidman and Joy from My Name Is Earl Margot Robbie, and is still comfortable enough with everyone’s sexuality that he can admit Jason Stackhouse is the best kisser. That level of quiet confidence? It does something to a person. Mainly:
That’s about it. But if for some reason that’s not doing it for you, we can always just go back to ogling.
I wonder why anyone would cast this guy as the master of the jungle and tamer of beasts he clearly doesn’t have any sort of magnetic charm or … oh wait, I just signed up for his weird cult from The East you own me now, Alex.
Bless you, Alex, for remaining desperately hot for our consumption despite our neglect of you. I can’t promise we won’t neglect you again, but I can promise we’ll always, always come back to you.

This should be a good interview. Richard Wilkins is usually a really good interviewer. He's the most well-known entertainment reporter here in OZ. One of the people who pushed that G'Day LA event in the US too.

I've seen Richard in the street in Sydney and he's tall, about 6'3" so I'm sure he's used to being the tallest person in any interview. Not today Dickie, not today.:D

I'm watching it right now (it's the morning show we watch in our house)- at least until I have to do the primary school run - I'll let you know. It has another 45+mins to go.

I'd say next week though as he did a piece on the Texas T-Rex, alright, alright, alright this morning. Usually it's only one segment like that per show.

Thanks, ladies.

Speaking of Facebook, Richard Wilkins also left a nice comment for Alex on his page yesterday.
I guess we will be seeing The TODAY Show interview soon?



"Great guy Alex Skarsgard x."

I actually like this song. I know of Hozier, but hadn't yet listened to him.

‘The Legend of Tarzan’ Producer David Barron on Ditching the Origin Story
by Haleigh Foutch 7 hours ago

Back in the fall of 2014, when The Legend of Tarzan was in the thick of production, I had the opportunity to visit the sets and soundstages at Warner Bros. Leavesden studios, where they filled African landscapes and let the King of the Jungle loose once again. While there, I joined a small group of journalists to chat with producer David Barron, who previously worked with Yates on the Harry Potter films. We chatted about why they opted out of the standard Tarzan tale, how the timing worked out just right for him to come aboard the project, re-creating Africa in England, Skarsgard’s insane diet and exercise regimen to get in vine-swinging shape, and a lot more. Check it out in the interview below.
..

Once the characters get back to Africa, does the story take place over a day or two?

BARRON: It’s kind of over a week, really, I think.

But there’s no… because it sounds like all the costume stuff all sort of deteriorates over the course of one...
A little bit, yeah.

BARRON: Well Christoph Rom makes off with Jane, with Margot Robbie, and so it becomes a chase movie at that point. Tarzan hits the ground running. It actually has to do… he rediscovers the primal Tarzan in the course of this mad dash to rescue Jane.

How would you describe the tone of it?

BARRON: It’s kind of reality based in that Adam Cozad in particular is very keen on getting historical facts right, King Leopold of Belgium’s rape of the Congo. So we’re set in 1889, it’s a great big fun action-adventure romp with a bit of solid underpinning of reality. We’re creating our own reality, but should I say you would actually accept absolutely as being real? We’re not slaves to the period but it’s not any kind of mashup presentation of period either, so it looks period but has quite a modern feel to it. It’s just a great big fun action-adventure romp with some really good, strong characters underpinned with this reality.

I know you said you weren’t around for early pre-production, but if you were around can you talk about casting and finding the right guy to fill an iconic role?

BARRON: Again, well unfortunately that was already done. The reason it all coalesced at the time that I finished shooting Cinderella was that David had just screen-tested Alexander and so everyone had got really excited because the film had had its peaks and troughs in terms of its road to actually getting made. And it had gone quiet a bit during last summer and then David screen-tested Alexander and they talked to him and everyone got very excited and he always had his eye on Christoph Waltz and Sam Jackson and Margot and obviously you need Tarzan before you can really do too much. The moment he got a Tarzan that everyone was excited about, the whole thing could come together so again unfortunately I can take no credit for that.
How much CGI will we see? Will a swinging Tarzan be CGI at times?

BARRON: It will be a combination. In order to make things truly graceful and very slightly defy gravity we need the help of CG.

But you’re still aiming for a realistic?

BARRON: Yeah, absolutely.

Has Alexander been scanned?

BARRON: He has. We might actually need to rescan him because he’s actually worked out so much that he’s in such fabulous shape. When he first started, when he was still shooting True Blood, he was on a diet of 8,000 calories a day. Getting up and eating every three hours, getting up in the middle of the night to cook steak and eat it and working out for four hours a day. He’s in incredible shape.

Alexander Skarsgard has started pushing that blasphemous loincloth-less Tarzan movie, and today he posed with a bunch of animal friends at the Wild Life Sydney Zoo. Askars let a kangaroo kiss him, he pet an echidna and he had a staring contest with a giant snake. The pictures of ASkars handling a giant snake are the closest I will ever get to seeing him, Jon Hamm and the Hammaconda in a gay porn together.

I want to let my jealousy take over and call that kangaroo a home wrecking skank whore, but I can’t hate on that adorable thing. If ASkars puckered up for me and let me lick him, they’d have to beat me with a boomerang to get me off of him. And here’s more pictures of ASkars causing ovaries to go boom by posing with a bunch of animals. I also threw in pictures of him looking hot, wet and slightly constipated in Vanity Fair Italia.

The Legend of Tarzan – Release Date: July 1st 2016

wcHrUQI.jpg


What happens to Tarzan when he actually went to England with Jane instead of remaining in the jungle? That’s what writer/director David Yates gets a chance to show in this, the latest screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic character. Played with strapping tenacity by Alexander Skarsgard, this Tarzan is a refined citizen with poise and a doting wife (Margot Robbie) to match. Unfortunately, the savagery of the jungle beckons, and the former ape man returns to his home under the assumption of being a trade emissary. Corrupt Captain León Brom (Christoph Waltz) has other plans for Tarzan, however, as a descent into human violence quickly suggests. Harry Potter director Yates has a potential smash on his hands with this one.
