    Huh. I had assumed this detail of Tarzan's biography was invented for the 1984 film Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, in order to explain away Christopher Lambert's heavy accent. I guess it was just serendipity

    "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes" was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for P.H. Vazak. P.H. Vazak was the name of Robert Towne's dog. The dog "received" credit because Towne was unhappy with the film. And that, kids, is where my mind goes whenever I hear "D.R. Congo." GOAL!

    I wonder how many people know that Samuel L. Jackson's character in the 2016 "The Legend of Tarzan" movie, George Washington Williams, is a fictionalized version of a real person (who really exposed abuses in the Congo in 1890, with the Open Letter quoted at the end of the movie).

    The Lambert vehicle, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes? For 2/3 of the film, it’s the best book-to-film adaptation. If you could then splice in the beginning 1/3 of the Skaarsgard film and use it as the ending, you’d have a wonderful Tarzan flick.

The notes on The Northman and The Legend of Tarzan (both starring Alexander Skarsgard) are chock-full of notes on how he attained his amazing bigness of muscle in those roles.

In particular it was the palest and most underwhelming Tarzan character yet. He never radiated the strength nor the intelligence that Edgar Rice Burroughs attributed to his character. He spent most of the movie going around with a bland look on his face. The story…

It is rated PG13, but still I don't think the children would enjoy it like they did for the recent 'The Jungle Book' film. So it is like a DC film, I mean, DC makes superhero films for the grown-ups, unlike Marvel's. The…
