Tarzan’s Jungle Comeback: Sony’s Bold New Take
Get ready, jungle fans! Sony has snatched the rights to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic jungle hero and is planning a full reinvention that could shake up the screen.
Where the Story Starts
- 1912: Tarzan first pops up in the literary world.
- 1918: The film “Tarzan of the Apes” makes his theatrical debut.
- 1930s‑1970s: A slew of TV shows bring the ape‑man to living rooms.
- 1999: Disney’s animated hit turns into a Broadway sensation.
- 2016: Warner Bros releases “The Legend of Tarzan” starring Alexander Skarsgård, earning roughly US$350 million worldwide.
Why the Latest Version Stood Out
Unlike the cartoonish feel of Disney’s version, Warner Bros tackled the colonial history that’s baked into the original story. They didn’t shy away from the fact that Tarzan grew up outside the clutches of Western civilization.
What Sony Is Planning
So far, Sony’s script is still a dressing room, but their goal is clear: modernize the myth while keeping it fun and relevant.
- No credited writer, director, or producer yet.
- The project is in its earliest brainstorming phase.
- Expect a twist that could appeal to a new generation.
The Twist Ahead
Will Sony keep the epic “ape‑man” vibe? Hang tight for a fresh take that might just bring the jungle back to life on the big screen.
