Welcome to the Tarzan Appreciation Thread!!

So the WB Tarzan adaptation is going to be directed by David Yates, who also directed the four darkest (and therefore my personal favorite) parts of the Harry Potter series. And that is an all-righty news.

But then we have Alexander Skarsgard and Margot Robbie, both of them undoubtedly omnipotent charmers, to be the leads. And this is already a “fangtastic” news.

And then we have the heavy artillery put to the project in the face of one-time Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz. And this simply rules!

But now they have added also the two-time Oscar nominee big gun Djimon Hounsou. So now we can just say that this is gradually shaping to be a first class cast for a first class movie.

Margot Robbie revealed some details about the new adaptation of Tarzan, in which she has been cast as Jane Porter. "It’s a slightly different take on the traditional Tarzan story. It takes place later on, it’s not really finding Tarzan in the jungle. It’s a great action adventure love story," she said. Samuel L. Jackson will also appear in Tarzan with True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgard starring in the main role.

Robbie told reporters about how imposing Skarsgard is in person. "Yeah, he’s really big, I look like a hobbit next to him. And we were doing camera tests the other day and my fingertips were literally at his kneecaps and I was like … oh my God. Yeah, he’s really big," she said.
