Netflix: New posters for King Kong and Tarzan shows
Did you know that Netflix have made their own shows about King Kong and Tarzan? Well, they have - here's some posters...
Netflix, as you may already know, is looking to branch further into children's programming with its original content arm. To meet this aim, new shows based around King Kong and Tarzan have been in development for a while at the online streaming service. Today we have some posters to share from both shows, and we'll splice in some plot information too.
First up, here's the poster for the King Kong series, dubbed Kong: King Of The Apes:
Here's the barmy-sounding synopsis for the show:
"In Kong, the future looks bright for San Francisco's Alcatraz Island since its transformation into the most impressive Natural History and Marine Preserve on the planet. But when the star attraction suddenly goes ape and Kong becomes public enemy number one, the villain that framed him is free to unleash an army of gigantic robotic dinosaurs on the unsuspecting world. Ironically, Kong is the only force formidable enough to stop these super-powered dinosaurs and the evil genius manipulating them. But Kong is now the world's most hunted fugitive. Fortunately, there are three young humans who know the truth and are willing to risk their lives to help Kong evade capture, while he battles to save humankind."
Um, yep. Moving on, here's the poster for Tarzan And Jane:
And here's some information on Tarzan And Jane that we found on Variety's website:
"In a modern-day remake of the classic characters, 16-year-old Tarzan returns from the African jungle to a London boarding school where he meets Jane, who helps him solve environmental injustice, crimes and mysteries."
As we said, moving on.
Both shows are set to launch in 2016. We'll let you know if any other interesting information comes to light.
