There's been talk for a while now of the return of Tarzan, the Edgar Rice Burroughs character who has been depicted around 89 times on screen already. Twilight's Kellan Lutz is at work on his own 3D motion-capture version, and Warner Bros. has been developing their take for a while now, at one point attaching Hustle & Flow and Footloose director Craig Brewer, who spoke frequently in interviews about his passion for the project. But word broke not long ago that Warner Bros. wanted to hand the project off to one of their most loyal blockbuster-makers instead, and now the news seems to be official. Vulture reports that David Yates, who made the final four Harry Potter films for the studio, has committed to Tarzan as his next project, and is already meeting with several actors who might play the title character.
