Robbie has landed the role of Jane Porter and Skarsgard will portray her vine-swinging love interest, Tarzan. The classic story is to be set in modern-day London and Samuel L Jackson and Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz will also appear in the film.
Although the story has been retold numerous times, this production aims to put a more humanised aspect on the Edgar Rice Burroughs tale. Skarsgard’s portrayal will focus on Tarzan’s later life, exploring how he adapts to life in the British capital after being orphaned as a baby and raised in the jungle by animals.
Sexy stars, Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgard are sure to bring in the big bucks.
While Skarsgard, of True Blood fame, has a huge fan base behind him, Robbie is sure to bring in some serious blockbuster bucks. She is currently the number three most-searched star on IMDB after Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Jennifer Lawrence, and ahead of Scarlett Johansson.
Margot Robbie in her film, Wolf of Wall Street
The Neighbours actress has hit the big time after her breakout role as Leonardo DiCaprio’s wife in The Wolf of Wall Street this year. Even Hollywood’s elite are opening their arms to welcome the blonde bombshell, who recently featured on the cover of the annual Vanity Fair Hollywood edition, appearing alongside George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
The new Tarzan reboot will be directed by David Yates, the genius behind the last four Harry Potter films, and is planned to hit cinemas in July 2016.
