And if it's merely okay, we're looking at (at best) another Fantastic Four and at worst another Pan. Now I get that it costs a lot of money to build two worlds as well as one family (been sitting on that joke for months), but this is the kind of mega-budget production that has no plausible chance of making its money back unless it's spectacularly good and connects with audiences on a primal level. Now having bent over backward to be fair, and with the acknowledgment that this trailer looks relatively entertaining, I still think it's absolutely insane that Rat-Pac Dune Entertainment, Village Roadshow, Jerry Weintraub Productions, and Dark Horse Productions sunk $180 million into a live-action TarzanВ movie. It's a weird situation in that the film could utterly bomb and his relationship with the studio would be okay as long as the Harry PotterВ prequel delivered. doesn't want another big budget bomb on its hands, it stands to reason that any blood and treasure lost by David Yates's Legend of TarzanВ can be made up for by David Yates's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemВ next November. None of them are 'stars,' but all are media-friendly actors and Sam Jackson is invaluable as an added-value element.ДЄnd come what may, director David Yates is the guy who guided the Harry PotterВ franchise to a spectacular finish, even if I might argue that Chris Columbus doesn't get nearly enough credit for getting the whole enterprise on the right foot. Jackson, Margot Robbie, and Christoph Waltz. The other thing is that they have surrounded Alexander Skarsgard (because the kids love Melancholia) with a decent supporting cast, with potential added value elements in Samuel L. So that's a notch in the 'plus' column right there, since we don't have to go through the origin tropes nor are we being forced to see 'the story before the story you thought you knew' schtick that felled PanВ and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.В earlier this year. No, this one takes place long after that story with a 'civilized' Tarzan lured back from London to Africa and ensnared in new perils and adventures. We don't have to see young Tarzan get raised by apes and come to terms with his humanity while he meets and falls for Jane and battle human villains. You'd barely know it from the trailer which emphasizes his origins and mostly shows our hero in his 'natural habitat,' but this film takes place after Tarzan has been raised by apes and after he left Africa for London. I can't speak for Knights of the Round Table, but as tempting as it is to say that TarzanВ is the next Pan, they seem to be doing a couple things right.ДЇirst and foremost, to my surprise, this is not an origin story.
