While Tarzan has been a staple in literature and pop culture for over 100 years, the character’s popularity was certainly nowhere near the level it was when Edgar Rice Burroughs’ original stories were published and decades soon after. In 2016, Warner Bros. Pictures of the monkey man to the big screen through The legend of Tarzan, which starred Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson, but failed to attract audiences. Now it has been reported that Sony Pictures is developing its own Tarzan movie, but I can’t help but wonder what this means for a possible live-action remake of a Disney animation Tarzan from 1999.
Regarding the Sony update, THR He shared that the film studio had acquired the rights to the Tarzan movie from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ estate and looked to provide a “complete reinvention” of the property. The project does not have a writer, director, or producer attached, but Sony is said to be intending to re-imagine Tarzan for moviegoers “in this time and space of the 21st century.” This will definitely be a good tool for Sony Tarzan Film that stands out from the traditional Tarzan The stories, usually set between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, have a pulp character.
We’ll have to wait and see if Sony Pictures have better luck Tarzan More movie than Warner Bros. did. In 2016, but now let’s turn our gaze to Disney. For a decade, the studio has been in tears of making live-action adaptations of classic animated films, whether we’re talking straight like Beauty and the beast And the Aladdinor reimagining as big as mischievous And the Mulan. This tour isn’t going to end anytime soon, and although Disney didn’t announce anything about direct action in 1999 TarzanGiven how commercially and critically the animated film was, as well as being the final show from Disney’s Renaissance, I imagine this was at least discussed in conversations about upcoming Disney films.
However, now that Sony Pictures have their own Tarzan An upcoming movie, this one probably will throw a wrench into the proverbial business. What’s interesting is that although Edgar Rice Burroughs is original Tarzan The stories are in the public domain, and other aspects of the property, such as stories written by Burroughs in the 1940s and those published after his death in 1950, are privately owned. Either way, Edgar Rice Burroughs owns the trademark. If Sony had to reach a deal with the estate to make a new deal Tarzan A movie that could prevent Disney from making a movie of its own, no matter what 1999 Tarzan Being one of the most famous features of the Mouse House.
On the other hand, just because the folks at Disney talked about making a file Tarzan A remake does not mean that it will actually happen. As mentioned in the THR article, the original Tarzan The stories are filled with colonial and white saviour elements, as well as racial and gender stereotypes, that flew in the early 20th century, but not anymore. Although many recent live/reimagined Disney films have updated aspects of their stories to make them more palatable to a 21st century audience, the studio may feel that addressing Tarzan Not worth the effort. At least she won’t be alone, as Disney said nothing about the 1995 rehash Pocahontasand I’m skeptical about taking live action in 1996 Hunchback of Notre Dame Actually moving forward.
There is also the possibility that Disney will sit back and play the long game Tarzan Now that Sony has developed the way it works. Remember Dwayne Johnson starred in A Hercules The film was directed by Paramount Pictures in 2014, and now Disney has finally begun to put together a new version of its own animation Hercules A 1997 film directed by Guy Ritchie. Obviously if it’s Sony Tarzan The movie ends up being the first entry in a series, which can complicate matters further, but I can easily see Disney waiting to see how Sony does before striking its own deal with Burroughs drug (assuming it even needs an act) and possibly waiting until around 2029 for its version to be released. live from Tarzanwhen the animation Tarzan Film celebrating its thirtieth anniversary.
Since Sony’s plans for Tarzan have just been revealed, it will likely be a while until we get to know any specific details about what this mod has in store, and who knows if Disney will one day announce it. Tarzan remake. Either way, CinemaBlend will pass on any relevant updates on these fronts along with our news about all kinds of upcoming movies.
