Warner Bros. has set a July 1, 2016 release date for its live-action 3D Tarzan movie. The big picture house has officially announced a new adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “Tarzan” with Alexander Skarsgard in the title role, The Wolf of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie as Jane Porter, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz.
David Yates (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Part 2 and others) will direct Tarzan for a July 1, 2016 release in 3D. Previous reports have listed Stephen Sommers and Stuart Beattie (I, Frankenstein) as screenwriters, but Warners’ official press release didn’t make mention of any screenwriters so maybe that’s still up for debate.
The film will center on John Clayton III (Skarsgard), known around the world as the famous “ape man” Tarzan. Years after he’s re-assimilated into London society, he’s asked by Queen Victoria to investigate the goings-on in the Congo. Tarzan teams with an ex-mercenary named George Washington Williams (Jackson) to save the Congo from a fierce warlord who controls a massive diamond mine.
The studio is now in pre-production on the picture, which will be directed by David Yates of Harry Potter fame. Jerry Weintraub is producing with David Barron and Alan Riche.
Alexander Skarsgard, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie and Christoph Waltz will star in the movie.
