The director of the final four Harry Potter films will swing from Hogwart’s to the jungle! David Yates will helm a new big-budget movie version of Tarzan for Warner Brothers according to Vulture.
The report says the director will meet with Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, Immortals) Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim) and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) about playing the Lord of the Jungle.
I’m rooting for Henry Cavill. The British actor is already playing Superman for the studio and he may reprise the role in a Justice League film so scheduling might be a problem.
I have loved this creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs in all form – from Ron Ely on television to the Saturday morning cartoon to Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes which starred Christopher Lambert.
Tarzan has starred in comic book series for Marvel, DC and Malibu comics.
I just want lots of gorillas!
