Filming Tarzan had been a challenge before production started.
But the moment the cameras rolled, everything moved smoothly and relentlessly forward.

One of the biggest reasons was that there weren’t many complicated acting demands.
Most of the animals surrounding Tarzan were CGI,
which meant there were far fewer variables to manage.

Because of that, the early scenes were wrapped up in less than two weeks.
There was almost no need for retakes.
Kim Donghu’s performance was flawless.

"Is it today?"
"Yeah, today’s the day we get to see that scene again."

And so, after a smooth shoot, today marked the return of something the cast and crew had witnessed before—

The sheer, chilling intensity from the script reading.

"I wonder how it’ll feel in real life? That terrifying presence, but in actual performance."
"I dunno, man... today’s the first time I’ve ever believed killing intent was a real thing."
"Agreed. I always thought that was just an exaggerated trope in animation."
