Warner Bros. Pictures en producer Jerry Weintraub zijn van plan om Tarzan, de wereldberoemde creatie van schrijver Edgar Rice Burroughs, opnieuw tot leven te wekken. Voor de regie is de studio momenteel in onderhandeling met de Mexicaan Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Blade II), en voor het script is men in gesprek met John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Happy Feet).
Del Toro: "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. John will be writing it alone, as I'll be in production on Hellboy 2 and pursuing writing projects of my own. He's got a great sense of adventure and the wilderness."
