News is starting to percolate about Warner Brothers Tarzan, and the synopsis (really little more than a log line) ?that has found its way out into the media is the following:
Years after he?s reassimilated into society, he?s asked by Queen Victoria to investigate the goings-on in the Congo. Tarzan teams with an ex-mercenary named George Washington Williams to save the Congo from a warlord who controls a massive diamond mine.
The current batch of articles say screenwriters are Stephen Sommers (Van Helsing, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra) and Stuart Beattie (Collateral, Australia, GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra)?.. ?Earlier articles cited Craig Brewer
So, what?s the takeaway on this?
My first thought ? other than it won?t have a lot to do with ?Tarzan of the Apes? ? is that they are setting it up as a franchise by ?avoiding doing the ?origins story? first, and that may not be a bad thing. ?It?s also interesting that they are keeping the period nature more or less intact.
Somehow, a warlord with a diamond mine doesn?t quite feel right to me ? feels like a 1960?s Tarzan movie or TV episode ? but we?ll see.
Not quite sure how I feel about this ? but it?s good to see they are getting up a head of steam on it right away.
