Jessica Chastain Up For Tarzan - Sadly Minus a Loincloth

Warner Brothers thinks there's an audience for a new Tarzan. There is. Our grandparents and, to a lesser degree, our parents. What worked "way back when," doesn't mean it will translate to today's cynical, techno-savvy, Information Superhighway generation. The works of Edgar Rice Burroughs fall on deaf ears to youngsters. Honest question: do little boys today roam the backyards pretending to be cowboys, Tarzan... or Iron Man?

New York Post says producers are looking for high-maintenance talent for Jane in the David Yates-directed update: Oscar-nominee (and future winner; you know it, I know it) Jessica Chastain. She's on a roll and nothing from her slate as of late suggests she's in on studio fare and/or crap; unless you count Mama, which few would since that made money and considered a quality horror flick.

Until they find their Lord of the Apes (Rumored candidates include Henry Cavill and Alexander Skarsgard), this is all for naught.
