'Tarzan' is back on the big screen, and this time under Warner Bros Pictures, as a remake of the animated film which is set for release in 2016. David Yates, who directed the last four installments of the 'Harry Potter' movie series, heads the production.

Actor Alexander Skarsgård, who also starred in HBO's 'True Blood', is portraying Tarzan. The filming began last month and the plot, which according to the 38-year-old Swedish actor, does not necessarily deal with Tarzan's origins in the African jungles.

"The movie begins in London in the late 1800s, and he's already there, he's been there for about eight years with Jane, and then he goes back to the Congo where he was born and raised with Jane, so at least in the beginning, he's dressed as a British lord. And then a lot of things happen in Africa, obviously," SkarsgÃ¥rd told Vulture.

Another interesting deviation from the original 'Tarzan' produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, and the remake released in 2013, is that the new Tarzan will not be showing off a lot of skin. Skarsgård added that he will be wearing more than the typical loincloths shown in the previous adaptations of the story.

Other casts include Margot Robbie as Jane and Christopher Waltz as the villain Rom.

An official plot synopsis for 'Tarzan', as published by HeyUGuys, reads: "It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane at his side. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom. But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash."
