Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire in the Midlands stood in for Tarzan’s stately home Greystoke Manor.Ī large-scale African shoot was never a real option for The Legend of Tarzan given the lack of regional infrastructure available in Gabon for a feature with a production budget reportedly in the region of $180m. River scenes were split between Leavesden’s water tank facility and Virginia Water near London’s Heathrow Airport in Surrey. Additional plate shots were filmed in the Italian Dolomites to provide mountainous landscapes, which complemented other rock formations built using molds taken from a slate quarry in Wales. Jungle fauna was imported from the Netherlands, with special lighting and in-studio irrigation systems set up to keep all the plant life alive. A 100-foot waterfall was a central feature of the studio set, with water flow driven by diesel pumps. The team eventually made half a dozen large-scale variations to the two stages to create different visuals and give the impression of completely different jungle locations. Production was mainly studio-based, with expansive jungle sets built on two large sound stages at Warner Bros.
The new film follows Tarzan both in England – where he is John Clayton, Earl of Greystoke – and in Gabon in West Africa where he must protect his jungle homeland from a sinister mining company. Studios Leavesden near London, and on location in Surrey.
