'THE LEGEND OF TARZAN'
STEAMY PHOTOS WITH ALEXANDER SKARSGARD AND MARGOT ROBBIE
Epic adventures for you today, people, starting with sizzling hot muscles from that Scandinavian God Alexander Skarsgard in the first photos from next July's THE LEGEND 
OF TARZAN which also show gorgeous Margot Robbie as the blond new Jane! David Yates is directing the latest adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's novel! With Christoph Waltz playing the main villain Captain Rom, the rest of the cast also includes Djimon Hounsou, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Hurt! The movie will see Tarzan living in the civilized society of the 19th century Victorian London, far away from the jungle in which he was raised by apes. He is now rich nobleman Lord Greystoke married to Jane. When he gets invited back to the jungle as the emissary of Parliament he steps back into the world of the Congo, where he reunites with old friends. He soon finds that he and Jane are in danger.

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
With Captain Rom being Belgian, the movie will have a historical side too, since Belgian kind Leopold II, one of the greatest villains the world
has ever seen, launched a shockingly brutal genocide of millions
of black people after he conquered the Congo as his own colony in the
1880s! He also left millions of people maimed with their hands cut off.

'THE MUMMY' REBOOT
TOM CRUISE AND SOFIA BOUTELLA TO TAKE LEAD ROLES?
And Universal is continuing their Monster Franchise which was started with Luke Evans' DRACULA UNTOLD, with the reboot of THE MUMMY. The latest word is that they want Sofia Boutella, Gazelle
from KINGSMAN
movie, to play the title character of THE MUMMY making it this time a
female monster. The reboot which is to be set in modern times apparently
also wants Tom Cruise in the lead male role. Alex Kurtzman is
directing.

Tarzan as a white actor? That's racist.
ReplyDeleteor maybe you are just misinformed? He wasn't born in Congo, he is British Lord Greystoke who was just raised in jungle after his parents died.
DeleteMark Rylance is starting to get some good movie work, isn't he? The TV series "Wolf Hall" was a major move for him from the stage to the screen. I know you thought "Wolf Hall" was dull and slow, Dezzy, but I enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteyes, overly dull :) I stopped at the third episode, methinks. He himself was nice, though.
DeleteThe Mummy...am I right that they did that one in the 90s? With The Rock? For some reason it's weird for Tom Cruise to star in it when he wasn't asked the first time around...I don't know why! Maybe he WAS asked the first time around and he turned them down? I can't imagine Brendan Fraser was ever first choice over Tom Cruise!
ReplyDeleteNot with Rock, he did SCORPION KING :), but with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Brendan was the perfect choice, made that saga so popular... probably the best adventure movie ever made. Too bad Stephen Sommers isn't directing much again, those first two movies were flawless, old school Hollywood, made with love
DeleteHow many times has The Mummy and Tarzan been remade? But the remakes look good. Leopold II was appalling.
ReplyDeleteMUMMY two times, methinks, in Golden Hollywood and in the late 90s :)
DeleteThere are movies at YouTube on Leopold... the holes found with hundreds of thousands of hands... ain't easy to watch
Grace from Beyond the Trailer struck again. Saw the BFG trailer this morning and her sharp wit review. Personally I have been interested in seeing this film and excited to see Spielberg directing a fun film I can just sit back and watch.
ReplyDeleteThat King Leopold II was a dick! Well monster, I mean chopping off the hands of millions of people? Good God! He was not a top topic in Jamaica's history class. Yeah that sounds were more of a story than this Tarzan business.
Okay I'll wait for some reviews for this maybe reboot of The Mummy before I dare think of going to see this.
Leopold hasn't been taught in any Western schools, because the West crimes are never called genocides... even though I think the number of people he killed or maimed there is close to 20 MILLION!!! Not to mention that French, English, German kings and queens are never considered dictators and villains even though they butchered and conquered in blood half of the world.
DeleteAlexander Skarsgard = the only reason I kept watching True Blood. I wouldn't mind taking a bite out of him! I can't wait for Tarzan!
ReplyDeleteyes, I so wish I was born as a Norse God! True Blood does have the hunkiest of casts what with him and Stephen Moyer and my Ryan Kwanten!
DeleteTarzan was my absolute favourite book as a kid. I've read it about 50 times. I really hope they do a good job on this movie!
ReplyDeleteI even had a stickers album with TARZAN :)
DeleteI knew you'd have some amazing Alexander Skarsgard Tarzan pics! THANK YOU, DEZ! :)
ReplyDeleteNaturally, hope we get a trailer soon!
DeleteHe has to be the most well-muscled Tarzan I've ever seen!
ReplyDeletethat is how they pack Norse gods!
DeleteWho asked for another Mummy?
ReplyDeleteI certainly have not!
DeleteThat movie is a mummy. Dead as hell.
Deleteuntil magic revives it...
DeleteYou mean terrible CGI... in 3D!
