Do you know Michael May's Adventure Blog? I recently read one of his posts on the movie Tarzan's and how they became a lot more popular than the original novels. It is really interesting how much the character has changed - from a cool, intelligent jungle survivalist (and ONCE IN A WHILE protector) to a monosyllabic wrestler-looking guy to an all-out nature conservationist who has to fight more and more poachers and the like.
There wasn't even any nature protecting in the first book! Or the second book. It was pretty much all about Tarzan finding his true love. I guess the second transformation into the wild, ideal nature protector would be a nice update for people considering how much emphasis there is now on saving energy and recycling and such...but (even if these people don't mess up his character) those who don't know Tarzan very well and go to see this movie still aren't going to get an accurate exhibition of our favorite jungle man.
On a different note, I hope they release an "Art of" book - I am kind of an artsy person, and I was really excited to see all that concept art in the behind the scenes video. :)
