Alexander Skarsgård said that one of the main reasons he took this role was to impress his father Stellan Skarsgård. He said, "My dad is a massive Tarzan fan. Growing up, we had these VHS cassettes of the Johnny Weissmuller films, and that was my introduction to the character. But those films are seventy years old, and so much time has passed, that I think mine is a fresh take. I'll never compete with Johnny Weissmuller, but I just wanted to impress my father. He was thrilled. He was more excited than I was." Oddly enough, his father was considered to play Tarzan in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984).
A fully CGI character was created for the swinging-through-the-trees and diving-off-cliffs scenes. A Cirque du Soleil trapeze-artist was brought in to model the proper form and motion for the animators.
Alexander Skarsgård's first cheat meal occurred more than five months into his training. Skarsgård had been on a very strict diet for five straight months, avoiding any fat completely, as he was in the process of developing an eight-pack. He said, "It was a Sunday, and we were training hard in the gym, and my trainer saw that my will to live was fading. He told me to put down the weights and he took me to lunch. That day he let me order whatever I wanted. I got to eat pizza, pasta, tiramisu. I get emotional just talking about that day." On the last day of filming, the crew congratulated him on the end of his diet by gifting him with a huge "Banoffee Pie," a British dessert. Skarsgård said that to celebrate, he ate the entire pie by himself in a single sitting.
Alexander Skarsgård joked that he would like Tarzan to be drastically different in the sequel because of the heavy workout and diet demands on him. He said, "We have an outline already in which Tarzan gains weight. Tarzan remains hairy and does not have eight pack abs. It has no action and Tarzan eats cake, lots of cake. I wrote it."
The use of siafu / army ants to suture wounds is real, as is the size of the soldier ants. In order to find them in such numbers, one would have to search for a trail. They routinely move their nests, with the tiny worker ants carrying the larvae in a long, winding trail. They are protected by the soldiers who hold each other's arms to make a black, lace-like canopy arching over the trail. From a distance it looks almost like a trail of gun powder. As long as you have a bag of some sort to hold them, capturing them is easy. You lift this living ribbon of ants in the air with a stick, then drop it into the bag, close the bag and shake off the stragglers. It takes about three seconds before they realize they are under attack, at which point the quickly spread in all directions, at which point you quickly walk away. To use them, let one out at a time, then apply it as shown, using your thumbnail to snap off the necks. The jaws are permanently clamped. After several day you pull off the heads and you're good to go.
"John Clayton: Your son killed the only person who ever cared about me. Chief Mbonga: It was an animal. John Clayton: She was my mother. Chief Mbonga: How was he to know? My son was just a boy! Not like you! Where was your honor? John Clayton: I... I had none. I had none."
"Jane Porter: [explaining to George as the village sings around the campfire] They are singing the legend of Tarzan. For many moons he was thought to be an evil spirit - a ghost in the trees. They speak of his power over the animals of the jungle. Because his spirit came from them. He understood them. And learned to conquer them. His ape mother, Kala, loved him as her own. And his ape brother, Akut, treated him with kindness and respect. He considered all men to be his enemies, since other tribes would hunt his troop as a rite of passage. Chief Muviro knew what he was. You must get to him. Since no man ever started with less."
