2018 marks the Centennial Anniversary of the Tarzan film series—one of Hollywood’s earliest and most enduring cinematic franchises.

Tarzan of the Apes by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), debuted in the pulp magazine All-Story in 1912. Six years later, the feral man raised by apes first appeared onscreen, portrayed by actor Elmo Lincoln. In the ensuing century, 52 authorized films and seven television series have been released, filmed on locations around the world including Hollywood, Louisiana, Florida, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, India, Thailand, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Sri Lanka, London, Scotland, Toronto, Vancouver, and Manhattan, often at great personal peril to the cast and crew. Join author Scott Tracy Griffin (Tarzan on Film, 2016) as he discusses the history of this globe-spanning film franchise.
