VIDEO Christoph Waltz interview- The Legend of Tarzan

The Legend of Tarzan is in cinemas across Ireland now, bringing a new perspective on the tales first told by Edgar Rice Burroughs more than 100 years ago.

It sees the man who once was Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) force to return to the Congo on a mission of peace but that doesn't last long when his wife Jane (Margot Robbie) is kidnapped by the nefarious Captain Léon Rom.

Needless to say, Waltz plays the baddie with his usual relish and this video interview comes from the massive set of the film. In fact, all of the footage captured with the actors was shot on soundstages, which is pretty incredible when you see them on the big screen.

Here's Waltz on the story, the sets and the legendary character.

Those sets really are one of the stars of the show, with a working waterfall constructed at Leavesden in the UK and areas of the jungle, prairie and even a huge pier actually built by hand. It has to be seen to be believed.
