Flickering Myth: Yates, Skarsgard, and Robbie Presscon and Q and A
There is a flurry of coverage coming out now about press conference and Q and A with David Yates, Alexander Skarsgard, and Margot Robbie in London today. Flickering myth has a podcast of the audio from the press conference which you can listen to here. Or you can go to Flickering Myth and read their full coverage of the event here.
The FM article also contains a scene description that’s interesting and gives a hint at tone of the movie which is a little different than the trailers — i.e. lighter:
In the scenes we were shown, we see Tarzan as a young boy being rescued by a group of apes who take him in despite the reservations of one the tribes lead apes who sees him as an enemy. Later, we see Tarzan and George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson), new compatriot of the vine-swinger, trying to catch up to a train full of generals and army men. “How do we catch a train going at 40mph?” says Williams. “Gravity” replies Tarzan as he jumps off a cliff face down hundreds of feet to the trees below as Williams eventually follows in an ungraceful manner.

It’s so exciting to see the good press! So far, based on Twitter and articles, it seems like those who saw the 20 min clip have nothing but great things to say.

Lindie thanks for this — it really helps when you provide links like that. Keep them coming. One of the things I do is try to keep track of everyone who’s covering Legend of Tarzan, so it’s great to have a record of everyone who was at the preview in London and tweeted or blogged about it. It will come in handy later . . . . database stufff…..
and also thanks to Man of Iron for collating . . . . keep’em coming . . .
Hollywood News has two articles:

This is the more in-depth than the first, brief article:

I’ll add that my two links are the original sources for what was linked to in the earlier post by sirdrewthesombre.

It does seem that the movie is lighter in tone than the trailers would indicate. And also that the screening seems to have been well received, so far. (fingers crossed).
Looks like the guy to interview should really be Adam Cozad! I also like the moment when Alexander Skarsgard said that his father was more excited than him when he got the part.
