The Legend of Tarzan, a movie which combines action, romance and CGI animals, will land in Chinese theatres on July 19th.
Alexander Skarsgard, who portrays the king of the jungle in the movie, has recently come to Beijing for film promotion.
"It's an opportunity to be so immersed in the jungle and to follow Tarzan and Jane and a group of apes among other characters on its adventure. And it's something that wouldn't be possible to do in just a couple years ago, so it's fun to take an iconic character like Tarzan and Jane that everyone has an idea who they are and then follow them on this adventure. I just hope people would like it."
The Legend of Tarzan is set after Tarzan had left the jungles of Africa for years and live with his beloved wife. But he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of the parliament.
He was actually unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge.
Margot Robbie, an Australian actress, born in 1990, acts as Tarzan's wife. Margot recently arrived in Beijing with Alexander Skarsgard.
"So Jane first encountered Alex's character, John Tarzan when (they were) teenagers. He saved her life. She knows how he grew up and she knows what he is capable of. Yeah, she is completely confident that he is not only capable of saving himself but anyone else he really wants to."
Foreign media reports Tarzan has made an approximate total of 135 million US dollars worldwide in box office earnings last weekend. Will its landing into China further boost its box office? Let us wait and see on next Tuesday on July 19th.
