Celebrating over 100 years of Tarzan

However though with this latest depiction of original author Edgar Rice Burroughs’ fictional character (Tarzan), the franchise celebrates a century in existence milestone from 1912.

Yates’s new film is a reboot following the 2013 3D animation installment. This time colonial power is the main catalyst of attention. “It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side. 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”.
