Stephen Sommers is the awful director they let handle the GI Joe movie, which will probably end up something like Saving Private Ryan as done by Jerry Bruckheimer. Meanwhile, Sommers’ next project is apparently going to be a Tarzan movie. I think. If you can make any sense of the following description, you’re either brilliant, or some kind of retard whisperer.
The action-adventure icon will trash his loincloth and throw on a pair of khakis for the next big screen take.
Director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) and screenwriter Stuart Beattie (Australia) are ditching the boy-raised-by-apes origin story for a 1930′s-set romp with a hefty helping of romance: Think Pirates of the Caribbean with buffed-and-tanned actors flying through the jungle and sprinting up trees, parkour-style. [EW]
Hmm, let’s try to break this down: Tarzan won’t be raised by apes. ERGO, he will be wearing KHAKIS, not A LOINCLOTH. But don’t worry, he will still be BUFF AND TAN and FLYING THROUGH THE JUNGLE, because… uh… ROMANCE. And it will also be like PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, but also with PARKOUR – which of course is the sport of urban free running… So somehow, you subtract URBAN from PARKOUR and add PIRATES and you get this: uh… TARZAN. Either that, or you get a headache and the overwhelming desire to throw poop at someone.



I vote for face smashing.
As long as Jane is in a bikini the whole time, I’m ok with it.
So somehow, you subtract URBAN from PARKOUR and add PIRATES and you get this: uh… TARZAN.
And just like that, Vince brings us the answer to “What happens when we run out of numbers?
Is Tarzan giving that guy a Tarzanian Steamer?
Is Parkour Posey playing Jane (in a bikini the whole time)?
They arent calling it Tarzan, they are calling it White Men Can Jump
They wanted to cast Michael J. Fox as Tarzan, but he has Parkourson’s disease.
The Mighty Feklahr feels compelled to scream, “OH WHA AH AH AAAAAAAAH-AAAYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHH!”
Why is it that you never hear rappers say its time for a black Tarzan?
Tarzan: Jane, I love running in treetops and swinging on vines with you.
Jane: Me too, Tarzan, but those developers are trying to cut down the jungle to make way for condos. And they smoke! *faints*
Tarzan: There’s only one way to settle this, JUNGLE STYLE!
*Tarzan dances to hip-hop and the
rec centerjungle is saved*You know who’d be good for this?
Peter Parkour.
Fek, if you click on it, you get a caption.
Their stuntman Lewis is the world’s greatest parkour… guy?
That’s right, Parkour Lewis can’t lose.

This movie sounds awesome ive got just the actopr for the lead role the one the only Brendan Frazier.
Hugh Jackman saw this article, read that Tarzan wasn’t wearing a loincloth, and took his name out of the running for lead actor.
Lince-what in Kahless’ Beard are you yammering about?
Eibz, the rappers never call for that because they already know what it’s like to be raised by apes.
Too far?
See, just this mention of these shitty movies brings in the lowest common denominator
Khakis? This sounds like a long Old Navy commercial to me.
Fek is in the “People who should be burned for fuel” category now? Fek!
ditching the boy-raised-by-apes origin story
Oh shit. Spike’s gonna be pissed at this film too.
*figures he’s in the shithouse with his jewish fighter comment, might as well take pants off and get comfy*
Donk, you are not implying that the future ex Mr Eibmoz is a ghey, are you?
Will the soundtrack for this film be nothing but Eminem’s “Run, Rabbit, Run” like every parkour video on the interwebs?
After I think about it, Jackman would be perfect for the role, Eibz. After all, he’s probably pretty used to swinging on vines by now.
Khakis? It sounds like they’re just redubbing Crocodile Hunter footage to me.
Tony Jaa will be playing Cheata.
WHAT DOES LINCE MEAN???
the funny thing is 10 suits just saw my post and had someone contact Brendan Fraziers agent.
Me Tarzan. Me shop at Dockers outlet.
Somehow I think that they’re just going to end up replacing apes with brown people… I’d get your popcorn ready for this train wreck.
Banner pic cap: Me Tarzan! You Cleaveland! Me Steam!
The biggest plot-hole in this movie is the premise that someone would name their kid “Tarzan”.
He’s about to give him some Tarzanian Goggles.
This is awesome! Are the Dreadnoks going to be in it too?
What?
Fucking dyslexia.
Give this movie a chance guys changing the movie to fit current time worked so well for THE FAT ALBERT MOVIE
Say what you want, but this is going to a million times better than the last two “movies” we read about.
NAMBLA is going to be so disappointed that the modern-day Tarzan isn’t the equivalent of a seven-year old trapped in a man’s body.
here is an excerpt from AIM conversation that birthed this fart of an idea

Damn. That must’ve taken a while. Well done.
Where the fuck is Stone Soup? Nigga, yo fuckin second on that Frampton shit was nothing short of diabolically brilliant!
I want you to show me the way.
{Steps over totally hetero erswi on Stone fuck pile}
Dudes! Out of the hallway, fuck!
Where’s Contractor Mike? I need to have some words about the meaning of “as built.”
Mothfucker to stupid to connect two lines on a fucking drawing and circle it, give it to the CAD geeks?
You owe me an hour and a half of my life cocksucker!
“Damn. That must’ve taken a while. Well done.”
Yeah it did. As a matter of fact, in the time it took me to write that, Stephen Sommers pitched his new film
Storylords, a remake of the 1980′s PBS show that helped build reading comprehension through the use of Fantasy. Sommers is said to be looking to comedic actor Brendan Faser for the role of Thorzuul.
Cardinal Chico: Your Holiness; i’ve gotta the bad news and i gotta the good news
Pope Groucho: You are the bad news. I know i’m gonna regret this but what’s the bad news?
Cardinal Chico: We no a getta Michaelangelo.
Pope Groucho: So who exactly did you entrust with artistically rendering the doctrine of the most Holy Catholic church upon the ceiling of this magnificent chapel, these last four years?
Cardinal Chico: Stephen Sommers
When Pope Groucho regains consciousness he is helped to his feet and led to the doors of the chapel. The doors are opened to a scene of utter bedlam. Scaffolding and rubble has crashed everywhere; there’s more paint on the floor than on the ceiling; Sommers himself dangles upside down from a gantry; what’s left of the ceiling is covered in cave drawings of mammoths being hunted and fucked…
Pope Groucho: What’s the good news?
Cardinal Chico: There’s a no god.
Where is everyone?
I got lost in a disappearing new post.
