...and it was supposed to be more faithful to the original novel than any of the dozens of movies, series and animated series that have been produced before. Then I watch the trailer on Youtube and it has goddamn Samuel L. Jackson in it. Fuck me

The version closest to the books was the one with Christopher Lambert, IMO. Even it wasn't super close.

It probably would be difficult to make an entirely faithful adaptation because the apes that raised Tarzan are a fictional species of apes that are mortal enemies of gorillas. They are also portrayed as being even more intelligent than chimpanzees since they have a language and carry on actual conversations.

I'm not sure about the dude playing Tarzan either. I didn't care for him in True Blood all that much.
