WB Leaves Yates' Tarzan Hanging

The suits at Warner Bros have put director David Yates re-imagining of Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan" on hold says Deadline,

"True Blood" star Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd was attached to play the loin cloth wearing  vine-swinger, while Jessica Chastain had been circling the female lead Jane.  Jamie Foxx was being wooed for the third lead role--Civil War veteran and former mercenary George Washington Williams.

The studio has nixed plans to make the film this year due to a high budget.

The project will try to go forward again next year with Yates remaining attached.
