Tarzan (2021 Film)

Tarzan is a 2021 American musical fantasy film directed and produced by Jon Favreau, written by Jeff Nathanson, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. It is a photorealistic remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1999 film of the same name. The film stars Jason Momoa, Elizabeth Hurley, Mark Rylance, Jason Isaacs, Melissa McCarthy, Danny McBride, Vanessa Lynn Williams, and Lance Henriksen. The plot follows Tarzan, an orphaned human boy who raised by family of gorillas, when he grows up as he met a group of humans who came from the jungle, namely Jane.

Plans for a remake of Tarzan were confirmed in September 2016 and 2019 following the success of Disney's The Jungle Book and The Lion King, also directed by Favreau. Much of the main cast signed in early 2018, and principal production began in mid-2018 on a blue screen stage in Los Angeles.

The film was theatrically released in the United States on July 16, 2021 and has grossed $728 million worldwide, becoming the eighth highest-grossing film of 2021. It received mixed reviews, with praise for its visual effects, musical score, and vocal performances, but criticism for the lack of originality and facial emotion on the characters.
