Unlike the Disney version, Constantin Film and Ambient Entertainment bring a fresh, modern spin on Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan of the Apes in Reinhard Klooss's 3D animated film Tarzan with Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga) providing the voice and motion-capture performance for the jungle hero. Also in the cast is Spencer Locke (Resident Evil films) as Jane Porter and Trevor St. John as William Clayton, the CEO of Greystoke Energies who sends a mercenary army to eliminate Tarzan and Jane.
While in a remote part of Africa exploring a mineral cache in a mysterious cave, entrepreneur JOHN GREYSTOKE and his wife ALICE are killed in a tragic helicopter crash, leaving their three-year-old JOHN, JR. to fend for himself. Rescued by KALA, a gentle ape, the traumatized child is brought up by a band of mountain gorillas as one of their own, learning the ways of the wild as he grows into a strong and independent young man known as TARZAN. At 14, Tarzan first encounters another human: JANE PORTER, a pretty and intrepid teen visiting Africa with her naturalist father. His contact with a creature so like himself leaves him unsettled and yearning for more.
The gorilla tribe's longtime leader dies and is succeeded by a brutal silverback named TUBLAT, who settles an old score by driving Tarzan out of the group. As Tarzan wanders alone, he stumbles on the wreckage of the helicopter, where he unknowingly triggers a signal to his late father's company. CLAYTON, a ruthlessly ambitious executive at Greystoke Industries, hires Jane and her father with a greedy scheme that will destroy the entire ecosystem. Jane, hoping to derail the plan, reconnects with Tarzan and becomes a target for both Clayton and Tublat. Facing deadly challenges from man and beast, Tarzan must use his jungle intuition and his human intellect to save his home and the woman he loves.
A spectacular animated safari into a vibrant and exotic landscape, TARZAN 3D is a gorgeously rendered, action-packed journey through a magnificently imagined world.
The theatrical release date in Germany is October 10. You'll find two teaser trailers embedded below.

Wonder Boyz Release New Single, 'Tarzan' On May 14, the four-men group released the song to all music websites and will begin their album activities beginning this week. "Tarzan" received a lot of attention especially with the featuring of Girls' Day Hyeri in its teaser. Their debut song, "Open the Door," which was released last October, was able to achieve moderate success in K-pop with its fun, bad boy colors. "Tarzan" reportedly features strong, charismatic images, switching gears completely from Wonder Boyz's debut looks.
kpopstarz.com ~ May 15, 2013"Tarzan" was produced by Ryan S. JHun and David Rodman who have worked with SHINee, TVXQ, f(x), Lee Hyori and Super Junior. The song is a combination of reggae and dance. Wonder Boyz's management company stated, "The members of Wonder Boyz are preparing for their comeback stage day and night. We hope to present the fans something completely new so please look forward to our return."
TARZAN
pop!gasa.com translation of lyrics
I want to be with you like Tarzan make a thrilla in manilla or an island
We dance together like we’re gonna be gone with the end, I’ll whisper to you so no one knows
Hold my hand, I’m your Tarzan (x2)
You’re my Jane, I’ll be your Tarzan, Tarzan, Tarzan
(I’ll be your) whoa whoa whoa (x4)
Hold my hand, I’m your Tarzan (x2)
You’re my Jane, I’ll be your Tarzan, Tarzan, Tarzan (I’ll be your)Let’s only leave memories and get away somewhere
Let’s only leave scars and get away somewhere
Let’s only leave a trace and get away somewhere
I’m lonely in this forest without you
Can you hear me swinging through the trees by myself?
The good memories change into empty sounds
Close your eyes and imagine our story
I can’t do anything without youCome closer let me hold you, why don’t you know my heart?
Got you rescue I’ll come get you, my heart hurts so much
Time’s a wasting stop debating, let’s hold hands
And I’ll take you high high high, please don’t say bye bye byeYou were like the sun but you left so my blue eyes only see darkness
I can’t breathe and the forest is a mess
The thorns pierce me and it hurts
I call out an SOS to you but my cell phone won’t work
I can’t figure out why you left
I’m going crazy, is it all my fault?
This game of tag is now over, stop it, stop doing this to me
Hug me, block me, where you going Jane?I wait for that day, if you please come back to me, from here (from here)
So far from here (so far from here) nothing to feel
But I’m still okay, I’m here where the memories rest
I am (what you look for) and you know I can (I can be your)
Be your Tarzan

Ex-‘Tarzan’ actor losing possession of pet tigers and
leopard
after accepting plea deal for mishandling big cats
Palm
Beach Post - May 17, 2013
A tearful Steven Sipek, better known as “Tarzan,” acknowledged Friday that it is unlikely he will ever again be allowed to live with his beloved big cats after admitting he violated state wildlife laws by keeping two tigers and a black leopard in his Loxahatchee home. “I’ve taken care of animals all my life and now I’ve lost them,” the 71-year-old red-eyed giant of a man said outside a Palm Beach County courtroom after accepting a plea deal. “They have something against me. I don’t know what. I’ve done nothing wrong.”As part of the agreement, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges — exhibiting wildlife without a proper permit and failing to cage the animals properly. Those charges will disappear in a year if he pays the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission the $4,800 it has spent caring for the animals since they were seized from his home in February 2012. Sipek also agreed to pay an undetermined amount to transport the tigers, Bo and Lepa, and the leopard, Oko, to their ultimate home. He said the animals are now in Dade City, north of Lakeland. FWC officials didn’t respond to requests for comment. In court, prosecutors said agency officials weren’t happy with the plea deal. It also appears there are questions about where the cats will end up.
Sipek, a native of Croatia who was dubbed the “Spanish Tarzan” during his acting career, said he was hoping they would be placed in a facility in Okeechobee where he could visit them. While he wouldn’t name the facility, it is likely Animal Adventures, a 1,100-acre family-owned ranch that takes in homeless wildlife. It is open to the public by reservation.
Nick Atwood, of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, applauded the state’s decision to permanently remove the cats from Sipek’s home, action he described as rare. However, he said, they must assure the cats end up in good hands. “My concern is making sure they have a permanent retirement in a safe place,” he said. Animal Adventures seems to be having difficulty caring for the animals it has, Atwood said, referring to a recent inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s not unusual. There are very few facilities in the state that are capable of caring for abandoned wildlife, he said. He said he believes the tears Sipek cried at Friday’s hearing were real. “I’m sure he’s a good person and I’m sure he loves his animals,” Atwood said. Unfortunately, he said, for years Sipek has been unable to satisfy state and federal caging requirements designed to keep the animals and the public safe. That was vividly illustrated in 2004 when one of his cats, a 600-pound tiger named Bobo, escaped. It disappeared for 26 hours before it was shot to death by a wildlife officer.
FWC officials said last year that they had been working with Sipek to correct violations but their efforts failed. However, Sipek said, the cats that he slept with and allowed to roam his house were never mistreated. His attorney agreed. “It’s an unfortunate situation that FWC reacted this way in this particular case,” said attorney Rob Melchiorre. “A lot of things were done to spite Steve Sipek.”

RARE WWII ERB PHOTOS COMING SOON IN ERBzine:
Edgar Rice Burroughs: The War Years
www.ERBzine.com/war
presents
Rare Wartime Photos from the
Deedee (Cecil) Burnside Collection
Teenage Ray Bradbury with Marlene Dietrich
Ref: http://io9.comIn this picture, you can see the fifteen-year-old Ray Bradbury — long before his famous author days — posing with the incredible movie star and singer Marlene Dietrich. How did this happen? Over on Dangerous Minds, Tara McGinley contextualizes this odd coupling with a few telling quotes from interviews that Bradbury did over the years. He told Playboy that he'd moved to Hollywood with his family when he was fourteen, and that he loved to chase down movie stars on his roller skates:
I was madly in love with Hollywood . . . I skated all over town, hell-bent on getting autographs from glamorous stars. It was glorious. I saw big MGM stars such as Norma Shearer, Laurel and Hardy, Ronald Coleman. Or I’d spend all day in front of Paramount or Columbia, then zoom over to the Brown Derby to watch the stars coming or going. I’d see Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, Fred Allen, Burns and Allen—whoever was on the Coast. Mae West made her appearance—bodyguard in tow—every Friday night.
In a LIFE interview, he added:
I still have my autographs and a few roller skate ball bearings left over from those days so long ago. Almost all of the people I met then are gone, but miraculously Marlene and George have survived. The light that comes out of these pictures is a constant rerun of my life as a somewhat silly but always loving boy, terribly reluctant to enter manhood.

TARSA Tarsa is a Finnish series written by a Finnish soldier Lahja Valakivi during 1940 and 1941.In the Tarsa books the hero is a young orphan boy Tarsa, who's raised by a family of bears. It seems that Tarsa is a mixture of John Carter and Tarzan, as he's battling against Soviet soldiers with some mystic powers.
It's not known if Valakivi originally wrote these four Tarsa books as a parody of the original Tarzan. I've just heard from a woman I am going to interview on this Tarsa subject, that the Finnish literature professors never spoke of Tarsa when talking about the war-time literature of Finland. As a result the subject, the books, as well the author, have been forgotten.
I believe Tarzan reflected a great deal in popular culture in general those years, but the only parody-like Tarzan thing I have ever heard about was the erotic Tarzan comic, Karzan.
Below are some fresh pics I took on the two of the Tarsa book covers, namely Tarsa Hyrsylän mutkassa (Hyrsylä was a well-known Finnish Winter War 1939-1940 battle place) which was written 1940 as well Tarsa ja Kuudes kolonna. "Kuudes kolonna" is itself a translation of "Sixth column, so the name has something to do with traitors, whereas "a fifth column is a group of people who undermine a larger group, such as a nation or a besieged city, from within".
About the hero Tarsa itself. I have not read any other books, except 30 first pages of the beginning of Kuudes kolonna book. Anyway, the beginnings of Tarsa are very similar to what we have in Tarzan, as well the biblical myth of moses. Almost a year old baby boy is found on a basket of shingle somewhere in the depths of deserty Finnish forests probably around the times of Finnish Civil War 1917-1918 or some years before (the stories of the books take place in the winter war, and I believe Tarsa is in his 20's probably, maybe 30) by a bear mother. He then grows in a family of bears. Somehow, while growing up with bears, Tarsa will develope himself some ultra powers, which he uses in the battle against Sovjet soldiers.
In some of the books it's told that Tarsa for example brushes his teeth with a single nail of shingle roof. He can also survive two weeks in forest by eating blackberries as well drinking the swamp and nature waters. Somehow, in a couple of years, he succees to become a colonel of Finnish army. So, like Phantom by Lee Falk, he sometimes leaves the deep forests, and travels to Helsinki, where in the city part of Kaisaniemi he has gotten a girl friend.
http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/erburrou.htm
"Burroughs inspired Lahja Johannes Valakivi (1892-1956), an officer and a teacher, to publish under the pseudonym L. Valakivi four Tarsa novels, Karhumies Tarsa (1940), Tarsa Hyrsylän mutkassa (1940), Tarsan kuudes kolonna(1941), and Tarsa ja pakoluolan salaisuus (1941). In the first book the young and orphaned Tarsa is raised by a bear and gains enormous strength from its milk. Similarities with Burroughs's stories were not coincidental. Tarsa's archenemies were the Russians – a natural choice after the Winter War (1939-40), in which the nation fought against the Soviet aggression."
Here you will find something on English on the author.
I took the pics on these two books at Oulu University library. The books are a part of the library's deposit books. They are even hard to find in Finland, because after the war all kind of literature culture music what ever which had a single thing on Sovjet, were all the time controlled. There was even a special war book ban during the war years and after.
Now I found that Tarsa gots his powers from bear milk. A similarity to comic heroes like Asterix or Popeye, as well what I can remember Phantom always drinks milk, while he's wandering in the cities :)
Below is some info on author Lahja Valakivi in Finnish.
