According to reports, Warners have signed "Harry Potter" director David Yates to take on a new film adaptation of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan", now celebrating its 100th anniversary.
'Tarzan' originally debuted in a 1912 magazine publication as an archetypal feral child, raised in the African jungles by the 'Mangani' great apes.
The character's first book adventure was followed by twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media.
