Casting- - Tarzan of the Apes

                                 First edition cover

Tarzan the Ape man is Tarzans feature debute. An action adventure novel  set in 1912, when an English expedition lands on an "unchartered" island only to find Tarzan and his apes.
but what happens to this action-adventure: it turns into a love story!

                                         

Here is my version::(from the book to screen)

LORD & LADY GREYSTOKE (TARZANS PARENTS)-Tarzans mom and dad that their ship sinks when Tarzan is just a little baby and he ends up being raised by Gorillas and the jungle.
 
Peter Krause & Stacy Haiduk. Two character actors that can act well.

PAUL D'ARNOT-A French naval officer, that Tarzan rescues from natives in the jungle. Paul teaches Tarzan even more about human civilization. He teaches him the french language, as well as how to behave as a proper white man.

Jonathan Hyde. One of my favorites, he is the actors actor. From Titanic to Anaconda in the same year, he has done it all.

WILLIAM CLAYTON-Clayton is a hunter who came on the expedition with the Porters to be their body guard or protector. After treating Tarzan poorly and with very little respect however Clayton reveals that his true motives for being there are to capture the gorillas and make a large profit off of them.

Jeremy Northam. Hes not a very big man but he can do it.

DR. PORTER-Janes old and crazy widowed dad that is on a expition to find gorillas for his book or something. Hes man favorite character in these books/films.

John Hurt. A great English actor. Hes the only one I could think of that can pull this role off.

JANE PORTER- a pretty young proper English girl, that comes from a upper-class English family that is with her fatheron his expedition. She falls for Tarzan and Clayton at the same time.

Keira Knightley.I don't know why I picked her, I just did.

TARZAN (JOHN CLAYTON)-As a baby, Tarzans parents died by a gorilla and he was raised by them and learned how to fish and hunt unmong other things. He learns alittle English from Commander D'Arnot.

Nick Ayler.This model would be in his first film. Hes really good-looking and big and looks like how I envisioned Tarzan. He could do it I think. I can see the titles And introducing ...Nick Ayler as Tarzan


So there I present you TARZAN of the Apes.
