- TARZAN
Director David Yates is currently developing the new Tarzan
movie at Warner Bros.
News has been scarce of late, with the last rumor mentioning
that Yates wanted Alexander Skarsgard (Battleship, "True Blood") to
play the title role with Samuel L. Jackson being up for the character Williams,
a Civil War veteran seeking redemption for his part in atrocities committed
against Native Americans. This interesting bit of rumour has yet to be
confirmed.
Now, the New York Post is reporting that Oscar-nominated The
Help and Zero Dark Thirty star Jessica Chastain is up for the roll of Jane in
the film. "The overworked actress and recent Oscar nominee is said to be
the first choice to play Jane in a new version of “Tarzan,” reports The Post’s
Richard Johnson... In this story, the jungle boy is fully assimilated to life
in London when Queen Victoria asks him to investigate troubles in the Congo.”
Featuring a screenplay by Stephen Sommers and Stuart
Beattie, the live-action film will adapt and update Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912
book "Tarzan of the Apes."
