Warner Brothers’ production of Tarzan is finally well underway. The film, helmed by Harry Potter director David Yates and starring True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård as the vine-swinging, loin-clothed hero of yore, has been in the works for a few years now, facing several setbacks and production delays. But the reboot of the century-old story of the boy raised by apes in the jungles of Africa is on its way back to the big screen.

Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash”
