"Tarzan has been an enduring and enigmatic figure in literature and cinema for more than a century," said Warners worldwide marketing and international distribution president Sue Kroll as the studio made the announcement. "The adventures of a man who was torn between two worlds has entertained and intrigued people young and old, and we are excited to bring him to the screen for a new generation."
