Weve seen many different versions of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan story since it was written back in 1914 and when we first heard that another was on the way, we wondered if it was actually needed. After seeing the footage this morning presented by Director David Yates, were starting to think now is very much the time.
Yates and Producing partner David Barron are best known for their work on the Harry Potter movies (Yates directed the final four films in the franchise and primed and ready to bring Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them to the big screen this Christmas). In between Potter projects, they somehow found the time and space to bring the Tarzan story to the big screen in what they insist is a version unlike weve ever seen.
Both the Davids joined lead actors Alexander Skarsgård and Margot Robbie in a Q&A this morning in London to show a room full of press 20 minutes of footage and to answer the questions we had.
We were shown around 7 scenes, some were epic and a couple much more small in scale so they could focus on the characters. The story (from what we saw) involves Tarzan and Jane getting married, returning back to the jungle (for what reason is unclear). While they are there, Christoph Waltz (Captain Rom) arrives in Gabon to capture many of the indigenous people introducing the slave trade to a movie that seems to be hitting issues like this head on. At least one of the acts is taken up by Waltz character kidnapping Robbie with Tarzan in hot pursuit with his side-kick / light relief Samuel L. Jackson hot on his heels.
One of the scenes features a wonderful back and forth with Robbie and Waltz characters after shes been kidnapped with Waltz doing what he does best in those brilliantly acted evil roles. The sweeping landscapes that we saw make it hard to believe that all the scenes involving actors were shot on the back lot of Leavesden Studios in sunny Watford near London.
In another scene we see a very ripped Alexander Skarsgård going head to head with the alpha male gorilla in what looks like it would be a one-way fight. The CG looks exceptional and again its no surprise that the team behind movies like Harry Potter would go to such lengths to make their movie as good as it can be using state of the art technology combined with a great script (from Adam Cozad who worked previously on Jack Ryan).
Robbie talks about how she was hooked from the get-go:
I got the script Tarzan and immediately I saw it I thought I dont want to do Tarzan because I thought I knew it.'
It surprised me I fell in love with it . It felt romantic, epic .. It had some very old fashioned sensibilities but also it had themes which felt very connected to now and very present to now. In terms of how we find our environment, what were doing to the animal species around the planet and it made me smile with a lot of humour in it. I just couldnt resist it.
Margot Robbie says of her Jane that shes fiercely independent, emotionally strong as opposed to Tarzans physical strength which is what draws them together.
I was so taken by the grand scale of it and even on the page it felt so epic! Everything about it was so rich and big!
Alexander gives us a bit more info into what we can expect from the movie:
We open the movie not in the jungle but with John and Jane in London and theyve been there for almost a decade. In a way its his arc or journey is the opposite of the origin of the story or the novel or the most of old movies which is about taming the beast. This is a man that has already perfected that. Hes civilised himself or acclimated his life in Victorian London but he has a home and he feels obligated to be there.
Instead of taming the beast its about keeping the beast within and then slowly it comes out which I think is a metaphor we can all relate to.
The Q&A ended with Yates saying that wed love to take you to this place again and Producer David Barron confirming we have an outline for a second movie so they are obviously excited for how this movies does and that they may well be able to tackle this world again.
If youre a fan of the Tarzan story, we really think this will be one youll be excited to see and is a different take on the Edgar Rice Burroughs tale that we all know and love.

For Margot Robbie, the Hustle Never Stops
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. — Margot Robbie came racing into the tucked-away bungalow she was renting here. She had returned from recording the voice of a talking dingo for a DreamWorks animated movie, and on an April afternoon was doing her best to clean up strewn clothes from overstuffed suitcases — evidence that an intended one-week visit to Los Angeles had stretched into a month.
“I’m sorry it’s so manic,” said this 25-year-old actress, who was born in Gold Coast, Australia, and lives in London, yet had not seen either city in a very long time.
“I’m always like, ‘No, it will calm down next week,’” she said in a more relaxed moment, stretched across a patio couch next to a faded pillow that said “God Save the Queen.”
“And then the following week ends up being crazier.”
Ms. Robbie was on the latest leg of the globe-trotting journey that has consumed her since 2013. It began at roughly the moment that a worldwide audience discovered her in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” playing the no-nonsense lover-turned-wife of an unscrupulous broker played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
After three years of relentless film work, she is poised for two of her most prominent roles this summer, in franchise movies whose success could transform her from a wannabe to a deserves-to-be star.
First, she’ll be seen as a self-reliant and decidedly un-dainty Jane in “The Legend of Tarzan,” a new adventure of that jungle hero opening July 1. Then, on Aug. 5, she stars in “Suicide Squad,” based on the DC Comics series, as Harley Quinn, a cracked-up criminal psychologist who wields a baseball bat and a Brooklyn accent with equal ferocity.
These prospects would sound like an actor’s dreams come true, yet they have prompted Ms. Robbie to wonder if they are indeed the fulfillment of her aspirations.
While taking care not to sound ungrateful, she is openly wrestling with what it means to be so visible and whether this was quite what she envisioned doing at this stage of her career.
“It’s always a hustle,” she said. “I thought it would be a mountain, where you get to the top, and then it’s like: ‘Wheeee! It’s so easy after this.’”
Instead, Ms. Robbie said: “Any time I get near the top, I’m like, ‘There’s another mountain!’ The hustle continues.”
The third of four siblings raised by a single mother, Ms. Robbie has been in almost perpetual motion since the end of 2010, when her contract ended on “Neighbours,” an Australian soap opera on which she played a free-spirited bisexual woman in search of her biological father.
Within days, she was on a plane to Los Angeles seeking representation and auditions for American TV pilots. She was quickly cast in the ABC period drama “Pan Am.”
“It’s so much more fun for people to describe it as winning the lottery and the overnight sensation,” she said. “But it was all very strategic: These are the steps that need to be accomplished.”
The cancellation of “Pan Am” after just 14 episodes was actually a lucky break, allowing her to take roles in Richard Curtis’s romantic comedy “About Time” and then “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Her formidable performance (and Noo Yawk dialect) in “The Wolf of Wall Street” became her calling card. But it also required her to appear in several nude scenes, including one in which she entices Mr. DiCaprio’s character wearing only a pair of stockings and high heels.
Ms. Robbie said she struggled with that provocative sequence. Recalling her thoughts at the time, she said: “The sacrifice I have to make is that I have to do this nudity thing that I don’t really want to do. But I get to work with Scorsese, which I really want to do. O.K., what outweighs what?”
Though the director told her she could play the scene in a robe or underwear, Ms. Robbie said that once she got invested in the character: “I was like, she wouldn’t do that, no way. She would be fully naked.”
Since then, Ms. Robbie has starred in “Suite Française” (adapted from Irène Némirovsky’s fiction) and the comic con-artist thriller “Focus” (with Will Smith).
