Tarzan, the classic pulp hero created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, may be heading to the screen once again. Sony Pictures has picked up the screen rights to the character from Burroughs’ estate, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., and is seeking to do a “total reinvention” of the character and intellectual property. No writer, filmmaker, or producer is attached as the studio looks for a top-down re-imagining…

Tarzan, the Ape Man (1959) dir. Joseph M. Newman. 7/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Tarzan's hair is so styled here lol.

Tarzan is all smiles. No wonder she fell for him. I do like all the animals just doing their thing. Aw at the cub romping around. Underwater scenes are fun but the graphics are I guess graphics for back in the day. I love our chimp friend. I love the way the elephant rolled up from its side.

I don't love how it seems like white people are the right race here. It's like white man versus beast. and everything not a civilized white man is a beast here. I'm not loving the treatment of animals either (unless it's kind), like we came to their territory. omg dad noooo. Holt letting her go makes no sense. That final kiss made no sense.

The elephant crawling is something I've never thought about. But, not the elephant having to crawl to its grave.

...More often recognized from this poster image.

`

An English language version of the poster was also produced

I'm guessing the the poster art was inspired from this segment of the film

Art by Neal Adams from Heritage Magazine in the 1970s. I don't know anything about the story behind these, and whether or not this was a project that Adams was working on or proposing.

This appears to be a sequence where Carson Napier has crashed landed on Mars/Barsoom, is later rescued by John Carter, and we discover Tarzan is in some sort of hibernation device.

Some people have theorized that the blonde guy is Flash Gordon (the belt and striped pants were standard parts of Flash's costume). However, as the rest of the characters are from Edgar Rice Burroughs' tales, it makes more since for him to be Carson of Venus. Especially if you remember that Carson was originally trying to get to Mars/Barsoom before his spaceship was thrown off course by the moon's gravity.

It's also interesting that Adams, for first time that I know of, depicted John Carter exactly as he's usually described in the Barsoom novels: naked except for his sword belt (it's not that he's a pervert; that's just the norm in Barsoomian culture).

I'd love to hear from anyone who has more information about these pictures and the story behind them.
