Fans of Hugh Jackman are looking forward to Van Helsing for two reasons - either to see their action hero strut his stuff battling the vamps and monsters, or those scenes hinted at in the trailer where he stumbles around in a loincloth and goes swinging around on ropes Tarzan style. Well it seems fans of the latter who want more may get it. British tabloid The Daily Star was talking about Hugh Jackman being a candidate for 007 recently and mentioned the following excerpt:
"And why hasn't year old Hugh Jackman put his hand up to play deboniar James Bond, a role he seems unashedamly tailor-made for? He has his sights on a slightly more underdressed hero, Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle.
Set to be written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the new Tarzan would be set in the modern day, where the former King of the Jungle moves to the City, where he appoints himelf a new savior to those in despair. A studio source say Jackman has already expressed interest in the film. "Not only is he in the right phyiscal shape for the role, but he's got the acting chops to really pull this off"
It's an interesting possibility, especially since the last person to take on the role was a fellow Aussie, the overflowing lunchbox CK model Travis Fimmel in the short lived WB series "Tarzan".
