Warner Bros. has not yet recovered from the foreseen flop of the Peter Pan origin story and it seems that another creation by the studio is on its way of following the footsteps of "Pan."

According to ScreenRant, the latest reboot of Edgar Rice Burrough's famed "Ape Man", "Tarzan", is on peril as director David Yates had his hands full juggling "Tarzan" and J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them."

Even though the "Ape Man" retelling is still on the process of filming, Yates had already started shooting for the Harry Potter spinoff. It was also reported that Yates began filming Beasts as early as August and he allots weekends on reviewing Tarzan edits.

In a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the big-budget ape man saga, which was reported to have $180 million production budget, was put on the side even though it still needed generous time and attention from the helmer because of its visual effects-heavy post production.

"The schedule of the J.K. Rowling movie got in the way of an appropriate postproduction schedule on Tarzan," a source involved in "Tarzan" told The Hollywood Reporter. "Why would you ever crowd a director into starting a movie before his other movie is properly finished?"

If the attention for "Tarzan" has been continuously segued, losses may be bigger than that of "Pan" which was reported to have a lesser $150 million production budget.

However, sources from Warners defended the decision and said that working on "Tarzan" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" side-by-side had always been a plan. The studio was reportedly confident of Yates capability in directing the two big movies at a time.

"While it's somewhat unusual, we are extremely comfortable with the production timelines, which were set in advance and have total confidence in the skill of David Yates -- who is a four-time Harry Potter director -- to deliver both of these pictures," a Warners executive said.

Year 2015 has been a catastrophic year for Warner Bros. in the box office as it had numerous big-budget flops like "Jupiter Ascending", "The Man From U.N.C.L.E" and the most recent of all, "Pan." Films also in the process of helming include "King Arthur", "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" and DC movies.

Tarzan is expected to hit theaters July 1 and it will be starred by "True Blood" actor Alexander Skarsgard as Tarzan and "Wolf of Wall Street" actress Margot Robbie.
