First Trailer for 3D Mo-Cap TARZAN

Here's the first trailer for director Reinhard Klooss' 3D mo-cap retelling of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic jungle tale Tarzan. I totally forgot all about this project which has yet to find a U.S. distributor. The film is slated to open next summer in international markets. 

Tarzan 3D was adapted for the screen by Jessica Postigo (The Mortal Instruments) and Yoni Brenner (Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs), and stars Kellan Lutz (Twilight) as Tarzan and Spencer Locke (Resident Evil: Afterlife) as Jane. 

As Blastr points out, the effects on this thing look waaay dated. It seems they tried to strike a balance between kiddie animation and photo-realistic CGI. I feel Steven Spielberg struck the right balance between the two for Tintin, but Tarzan doesn't quite stack up. It just looks cheap. I'll have to wait for another trailer to see if they actually look to have a good take on the story. 

Check out the trailer and tell us what you think!
