I’ve been waiting my whole life too! …. Well since I was twelve,… this WILL be fantastic, litterally.
Can’t wait for this Trilogy…. I guess it just took time for the technology in filmaking to catch up.
We can do so much now, with green screens… and I can’t think of a better studio to bring this to the big screen than Disney! I have always loved Tarzan, but have always wondred why John Carter was left in the dust…. Edgar Rice Burroughs also wrote, about Pellucidar, and Beyond the Farthest Star, among many other books… just finally finally glad that they are being the other stories from this wonderful author to light, so we can all enjoy them!!!!
