when was the last time a Pulp was optioned for the silver-screen?

 

The latest would be the Buck Rogers movie they're making, but Zorro, Tarzan, and the Phantom have made it there several times.

I'll give you Buck and Zorro (even though I can't imagine they'd receive much, if any critical acclaim), but Tarzan started out as a novel and which Phantom? Because The Phantom's origins are in comics.

I think Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan was very nicely done.

Antonio Banderas as Zorro did VERY well, awesome flick. It also introduced this fine specimen to the world.

And I just checked the movie writeup.

 

The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor (Richardson), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Makeup.

That was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre. My aunt took me and my brother to the Sheraton Hotel that had a Theatre located underground in downtown Toronto.

 

It was also the first time I realized that you could literally live under ground in a city like Toronto. There is an amazing maze of shops, tunnels and Subway lines in the city.

 

Does any other city have something like this?

Get with the modern times!

It got decent critical acclaim also, although I wasn't sure it was as good as it appears to be until I just looked it up. Great Rotten Tomatoes score at 82% and multiple awards nominations, although none of the big director/screenplay/actor Oscar awards.

I actually meant if any new (recent) movie's had been made, but don't let me stop you from answering your own posts, with reviews about movies (with the exception of this thread) that no one talks about anymore. IMDB actually lists 89 attempts at a Tarzan movie. While I can't say if any of those movies created a surge in the pulps, I do know that Tarzan comics (especially photo/few painted covers, and early Dell's) still sell at a premium.

GRAND! With your permission I shall then continue!

I liked the Bo Derek one better. Mud scene!

Technically, Buck Rogers is also kind of a comic character, since he wasn't named "Buck" in the pulps. His name was Anthony Rogers and it was changed to Buck Rogers for the comic strip.

Tarzan's first appearance was in All-Story October 1912. There are about 20 known copies to exist, ballpark VF price is $40,000+. Other early Tarzan pulps are also very expensive. (The novel came later,FYI.)

 

There's another Conan movie in the works. The guy from Pixar is doing a John Carter of Mars movie, coming out next year. There was also talk of a new Doc Savage movie, don't know what's happened to that one. Sam Raimi wants to take a crack at The Shadow, and Del Toro was going to make a movie based on the famous H.P. Lovecraft story "At the Mountains of Madness."

 

DC recently brought back Doc Savage and a few other pulp heroes, but I don't know which comic book they're in.

Sam Raimi wants to take a crack at The Shadow

I would love to see that. I really didn't think the Alec Baldwin movie was that bad, but only bought it when it was in the $5 Walmart bin.

I've read that much, by why does Wikipedia refer to Burroughs first work as a novel? And they actually refer to All-Story as a pulp magazine. Novel's, pulps and magazines are all different formats, aren't they?
