Sci-fi author Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes, his first Tarzan story, was published in the year 1914.

I am uncertain in saying that the story was first revealed to the public in a magazine publication in the year 1912.

Technically, the very first person to appear as Tarzan and credited as such, was Gordon Griffith, who played the child Tarzan in 1918's Tarzan of the Apes. Elmo Lincoln (Otto Elmo Linkenhelt) portrayed the Ape-man as an adult.

Are there any new Tarzan film?

As far as I know, there is no new animated Tarzan film in the making. But if you're asking if another Tarzan film was ever made after the original animated feature, the answer is yes. There were two sequels made. The first, "Tarzan & Jane," came out in 2003. It's a movie that takes place after the end of the original movie. There was a TV series which was called "The Legend of Tarzan," and it ran from 2001 to 2003. Most episodes took place after the end of the first movie, with Jane and her father living in the jungle with Tarzan and his ape family. The second sequel, "Tarzan II," came out in 2005. This was a prequel which explored the childhood of Tarzan more fully. According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), there is going to be a non-animated and non-Disney Tarzan movie opening in Germany in October 2013.


What five time gold medalist also played the role of Tarzan in the movie?

Johnny Weissmuller


Could there ever be another Tarzan movie made?
