 Stephen Sommers in talks to direct "Tarzan" for WB http://www.worldofkj.com/news/news.php?tid=32073Quote: According to Variety, Stephen Sommers is in negotiations to direct a bigscreen version of Tarzan for Warner Bros. and producer Jerry Weintraub.
Sommers will also co-write the Tarzan script with Stuart Beattie. Sommers directed the recently wrapped G.I. Joe for Paramount, with Beattie penning the final draft of the screenplay.
Warner Bros. and Weintraub have been developing Tarzan since 2003, when John August was hired to pen a new take on the Edgar Rice Burroughs-created character. Two years ago, the studio was negotiating with Guillermo del Toro to direct.
Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes was written in 1912. Onscreen, the ape-man character became strongly identified with Johnny Weismuller during the 1930s in MGM’s series of features.

Re: Stephen Sommers in talks to direct "Tarzan" for WB There is no need to make this movie, Casper Van Dien already made it...who needs cgi apes when you have men in gorilla suits.

Re: Stephen Sommers in talks to direct "Tarzan" for WB I wonder what Wes Anderson or Tim Burton would make out of Tarzan. Maybe even Terry Gilliam. Can't be more demented than giving the job to Sommers.
Well, with Gilliam you never know what might happen but you know what I mean. If there's a need to tell this story again at least make some kind of effort.
