Guillermo del Toro in final negotiations to direct Tarzan’s new bigscreen version with Warner Bros., says Variety. John Collee is also in negotiating to write the screenplay.
Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan has been first introduced in book form in 1914. In the following years character has headlined live action and animated films, as well as radio and TV shows.
Del Toro talks about rumors and said, "I'd love to create a new version that is still a family movie, but as edgy as I can make it. There are strong themes of survival of a defenseless child left behind in the most hostile environment."
