New behind-the-scenes Legend of Tarzan photo from Alex’s stunt double, Jack Jagodka!

Alex-stunt_chef.jpg

"The Legend of Tarzan" = ‘Vegan Tarzan’ ...this how my journey began like a vegan stuntman...It's been great working with @margotrobbie and being a stunt double of @alexanderskarsgard.

I've met great people on this project, it's a must see movie! Please hit me back with your feedback!! Tarzan workout coming soon ... Proud to be Vegan.”

Post on Celebitchy (the comments are atrocious...looks like Alexa's fans are hating on Margot for whatever reason. Odd they think the two women are in competition. One charming example said Margot looked like a Real Housewife. I mean...*SMH*))

Margot Robbie in MiuMiu at the UK ‘Legend of Tarzan’ premiere: hot or boring?
wenn24969090.jpg


Here are some photos from last night’s London premiere of The Legend of Tarzan, which is still sitting at 34% at Rotten Tomatoes. Critically, this film was not well-received, but it has already made $65 million worldwide, so I suspect the film will (at the very least) break even when all is said and done. Alexander Skarsgard won’t have to preside over a gigantic bomb, which is good for all of us who enjoy the Swedish Viking.

You can tell that Alex’s costar Margot Robbie is trying to push the film a bit harder now too. Probably because she doesn’t want to have to wear it either if the film completely bombs. Margot wore this MiuMiu gown to the premiere and… it’s not her best look. I think Margot is really beautiful and striking but this whole look does nothing for her or for me. Why did her hair stylist do this to her hair? Why did her stylist choose this dress? This was an opportunity to really wow everyone and it just feels like her team was phoning it in.

Alex’s girlfriend came out for the premiere too. Alexa Chung wore Alessandra Rich and I really, really don’t like it. Then again, I never really understood why Alexa was ever a thing, or why she’s still a thing now. Style icon? Not so much.

The review for LoT from Oz entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins was shown this morning. 2.5/5. Loves the cinematography, not keen on the to-ing and fro-ing with past and present and said there was some over-acting (didn't say from who).

The interview with Alex wasn't shown which I can sort of understand - being all friendly etc then the review, oh sorry mate didn't think your film was all that.

It opens today in Australia. I'd say it will have a decent opening like the US as it's school holidays here, we've had rainy weather all up the coast and it's an inbetween period till the next wave of family movies premiere. We'll see. I'm not going until next week.

ETA: slightly OT Is there some Margot backlash happening? Lainey was ragging on her a bit as well.

^^Free, my read of the Lainey post was she was eye rolling at how awful and condescending the writer was and how there was nothing to bring out Margot in the piece. The Lainey writer (not her) called him misogynistic. Sounded like a weird piece that treats Australians like some odd alien universe(!).

Back on topic - how many more actual premieres will they do?

I think Stockholm is soon - 11th or 12th?

I didn't like that CB article or the comments because it seemed like there was no other reason to pit Margot against AC than they both happen to be in Alex's orbit at the moment. They are apples and oranges in every way.

Just my typical annoyance at comments you wouldn't find about guys. And the sudden influx of pro-Alexa, anti-Margot sentiment.

@scaredsquirrel yeah it was an odd take on Australia for sure
 
Thanks, Free.:smile: I thought Margot looked beautiful but there seemed to be mixed reactions (on the web) to her dress. I think she pulled it off though - she's so gorgeous, she can wear just about anything.

Not sure how many premieres, but he said he's leaving for the Amazon in 2 weeks with Greenpeace, so he won't be promoting anything after that.

He mentions the Greenpeace Amazon project in this interview:

As far as premieres, I think Stockholm, on July 11, is the last one, though he's got more promotion to do.

I usually don't read Celebitchy posts on Alexa (not that there are many) or Margot, because a lot of the commenters don't like either one. And they've often gone after Alex in the last couple of years, though there was one a couple of weeks ago that wasn't bad at all (I do admit to enjoying the heck out the comments concerning Swift and Hiddleston though).
I think there is a backlash against Margot, because people do get sick of the 'hot' actor or actress that gets talked about all the time. But I agree with SS, the Lainey article (by Maria) was calling out the VF writer, not Margot.

Behind the Make-up of ‘The Legend of Tarzan’
..
For make-up/hair designer Fae Hammond, the initial challenge was creating a look for Skarsgård’s Tarzan. “It was interesting doing the initial tests on him,” Hammond recalls, “because we wanted him to look heavily scarred, and there are also a lot of flashbacks, so we see him younger and older and a bit older still, and his hair length was changing all the time. We had lots of tests for hair length.
“When anyone makes a new Tarzan film, they always think, ‘Right, we’re going to change Tarzan and make him different!’ but in fact everyone generally ends up coming back to a similar Tarzan, although in this film, we kept the tan off. I think when you put a tan anywhere near Alexander Skarsgård, he looks like a gay icon. He really needs the paleness and British-ness of him to look better, so that was interesting. This Tarzan isn’t a great hunk of a man; he’s much more pale and quiet, and Alexander actually plays the character as someone more troubled and reserved.

“As I said, Alexander was heavily scarred everywhere, with lots of enormous, old wounds, so I had a team of three looking after him every day. They were amazing and quick, and within a few days, they could do that make-up with their eyes closed.”

As for Skarsgård’s co-star, “We also had the lovely Margot Robbie as Jane,” Hammond continues, “who’s quite beautiful, but David Yates … wanted everything to look quite real, so Margot was constantly covered in scratches, and even though she’s a beautiful woman throughout the film, she gets dragged through a hedge backwards at one point, and we certainly don’t hesitate in showing that.”..

Santress, first, agree re Margot's dress and I only wonder if this a fake because he never wears a loincloth in the whole film. Btw, very appropriate that a Tarzan commercial is on as I'm writing this..
