While everyone else is busy doing their level best to rip off The Dark Knight and Twilight, director Stephen Sommers is borrowing inspiration from the country’s previous box office obsession, Pirates of the Caribbean. According to EW, his new Tarzan movie will be similar in tone to Disney’s piratical, CGI-fest.
It seems Sommers and his screenwriter Stuart Beattie are ditching the boy raised by apes origin story and going for a 1930s romance romp. I’m not sure how you make a Tarzan movie without having the lead character raised by apes, but EW claims he’s going there. Maybe an adult man named Tarzan gets hit on the head by a coconut and wakes up believing he’s a monkey? They say, “Think Pirates of the Caribbean with buffed-and-tanned actors flying through the jungle and sprinting up trees, parkour-style.” Odds that Cheetah will be CGI and played by Any Serkis? I’d say almost certain.
