Guillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy, is in talks to remake Tarzan.
The filmmaker is negotiating with studio Warner Bros and hopes to refresh the story by looking again at the original work written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
He commented: "I'd love to create a new version that is still a family movie, but as edgy as I can make it. There are strong themes of survival of a defenceless child left behind in the most hostile environment.
The Mexican was also nominated yesterday for best director at the London Film Critics' Circle awards for his fantasy tale Pan's Labyrinth, which also centres around a young child.
