‘Tarzan 3D’ Trailer: Kellan Lutz Swings, or Flails, as the Lord of the Apes

Posted on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013 by Russ Fischer

Kellan Lutz (Twilight) isn’t just the other Hercules (the one that isn’t The Rock), he’s also the new digi-Tarzan. For Tarzan 3D, the actor provided the voice work and mo-cap performance for the title character, who does all the hanging with apes and swinging on vines that you’d expect from a Tarzan story. When we saw the first teaser for the film over a year ago, it was impossible to tell what this version offers that others don’t.

Now a full trailer gives us some idea of what’s unique to this version: global stakes. Because in this version, there’s a mountain that houses a centuries-old asteroid that turns out to be a massive energy source. And so Greystoke appears in this telling not as a moneyed old English title, but as an energy company hungry to gain possession of the mountain. It’s too early to say that the founders of Gerystoke Energies will turn out to be Tarzan’s late parents, but that’s what the name and the opening shot suggest.

‘Tarzan 3D’ Mo-Cap Teaser Trailer: Keeping the Old-School Image of Burroughs’ Jungle Hero Alive

Posted on Friday, October 5th, 2012 by Russ Fischer

You may or may not remember that Kellan Lutz (Twilight) was announced a while back as the “star” of a new mo-cap animated version of Edgar Rice Burroughs‘ pulp hero Tarzan. I didn’t remember, at least until I saw a flash of the trailer a couple days ago, and the news break was just back in May. Now the full trailer — sans English titles — is available to give us a look at Tarzan 3D. And it is… well, it’s a new screen version of Tarzan, and other than that it is difficult to get much of an idea. Check out the digital vine-swinger below. Read More »
