Sony Pictures has acquired film rights to Tarzan in a deal with the estate of original book author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
A new project is in development, which would reportedly reimagine the character to modern times. According to Deadline, there is no writer, director, or producer linked to the project. The well-known character was first established by Burroughs in 1912, and the author continued to write Tarzan stories into the 1940s.
