New "Tarzan" Monkeys Around With CGI

Actors Kellan Lutz ("Twilight") and Spencer Locke ("Resident Evil") will play the characters 'Tarzan' and 'Jane', based on author Edgar Rice Burrough's book "Tarzan", in Constantin Films' upcoming performance capture movie "Tarzan 3D", to be directed by Reinhard Klooss and Holger Tappe.

In the new adaptation, Jane is reportedly the daughter of an African guide, committed to the conservation and preservation of the African jungle.
She eventually teams up with Tarzan to defeat the mercenary army of 'Greystoke Energies'.

Tarzan, as first written by Burrough's for a magazine publication in 1912, is regarded as the archetypal feral child raised in the African jungles by the 'Mangani great apes'.

The character's adventures were first published in book form in 1914, followed by twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media.
