Back in June, it was reported that Harry Potter helmer David Yates and Nanny McPhee Returns' Susanna White were both in consideration to direct Warner Bros.' live-action Tarzan movie.
Now, according to Deadline, Yates has been chosen by the studio as their primary get. The filmmaker is said to be in serious negotiations for the jungle-dwelling epic. At this time, however, Warner Bros. has denied that Yates is set for the job. Meanwhile, Constantin Films is still moving forward with its own adaptation of the tree-swinging ape man -- a motion capture flick starring Kellen Lutz and Spencer Locke.
Earlier this year, Yates was rumored to also be attached to a Doctor Who feature film, but producer Steven Moffat, head writer on the BBC television series, recently put that notion to rest. This would open up the Potter director's schedule for Warners' Tarzan, should a deal go through.
