For serious book
readers out there who have picked up the classic book Tarzan Of The Apes, and
its sequels, by writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the new 'The Legend Of Tarzan'
strikes a familiar cord.
Unlike many previous
Tarzan movies and TV series the new Tarzan movie harkens back to the original
premise of the classic Tarzan book.
Like the book the
movie looks into the origin of Tarzan, including his been raised by apes. Viewers get to see Tarzan interact with the
apes, become one of their own and return to his humanity.
Tarzan (John
Clayton, Lord Greystoke) has left Africa, returned to his civilized life as a
wealthy lord and married his sweetheart Jane.
But when he is
invited to return to the Congo as an emissary he soon discovers that things are
not as they appear. There are sinister
forces at work and soon Tarzan must reclaim his ape heritage to battle a
murderous plot of revenge and greed.
This is Tarzan as he
was meant to be seen: untamed, ferocious, deadly and King Of The Jungle.
Warner Bros. presents The Legend Of
Tarzan on a new Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD Combo Pack complete with plenty of
featurettes about the film, its cast and crew and the challenges of translating
the adventures of Tarzan to the Silver Screen.
Stunning vistas and special
effects, tooth and nail fight and action scenes and an underlying love story
for his wife and animal family capture the essence of Tarzan as originally
envisioned by Burroughs.
