Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie on “The Legend of Tarzan”

Since his invention in 1912 by Edgar Rice Burroughs as a literary hero, Tarzan has inspired countless film, TV and radio adaptations – and at least one Los Angeles neighborhood (yes, Tarzana, in the San Fernando Valley was the site of Burroughs’ ranch). Now, almost a century after Tarzan of the Apes, the 1918 silent which is the first recorded film version, the story of Lord Greystoke the English nobleman raised by apes in the jungle, is revisited once more in David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan with Alexander Skarsgård in the title role and Margot Robbie as Jane. We spoke to the actors about reimagining of the myth for modern times.
