What's this!!
CHINS!
NO Muzzles!
And what happened to the rolling stance/gait?
Oh dearie me

Oh well....

This has to do with genetic engineering.

Whole new concept, a whole new film.

Nuclear war is no longer the enemy.

I'm thinking this way they look far too human like.  Actually looks like they
went a step back to the test makeups they did prior to the original film.  Plus,
the chimp looks more like some kind of Elric fantasy elf character, and the one
closeup gorilla looks like a cross between Tina Turner and Sasquatch.

I like the pointed heads on the gorillas however, but that was about it.

These pics have taken my optimism out of my sails.  But then again, I'm still
trying to tell myself that The Phantom Menace wasn't really THAT bad.  (Yeah
right!)

Phantom Menace?

 

You haven't seen this film yet, and yet your comparing it to Phantom Menace?

Where does your logic come from?

Where did I compare a movie I haven't seen to the Phantom Menace?

I'm simply remembering the sinking feeling I got back when teaser pics and little bits of that story came out.   Sure enough, TMP was every bit as bad as I imagined it might be.

The most disappointing thing about these makeups, though, is that they came from Rick Baker.  I would have expected a little more from him.  These apes are pretty darn plain looking.

Wha?

Are you guessing, or have plot elements been released somewhere?  Can
you elaborate?

 

I'd rather not talk anymore about the plot phil, as I have in the past on this e-group.

But I will tell you this, when they say:

PLANET OF THE APES!

It really will be PLANET OF THE APES!

 

And not small portions of ape colonies here and there as it was in the original.

I was just being sarcastic because of the spelling.  :)

I really want to believe that Alex.  I REALLY want to believe it!

I will say that Tim Burton is a very solid director and the fact that he's at the helm has always pulled me through my foreboding feelings.

I think Phil had a good point too about the way these pics are presented.  I'm sure these costumes and makeups are not being seen in their best light.  The quasi-humorous captions didn't help me one bit, that's for sure.

I think they look great and I bet they look even better in motion.

They look very much like apes - not plastic masks.  And the teeth!  Without
the long muzzle they can work with (extra bits on top of) their own teeth.
I hated seeing (mainly in the TV series) shots showing the actors teeth
hidden behind the "make-up" set of teeth.  Now they won't look retarded when
they speak because their lips will be there!

I think "A Bad Guy" needs a bit more work, but the gorilla and the female
(is that Helena?) look fantastic.

Bring it on.

Michael

 

 

I couldn't put it better myself.

At leat now when an ape speaks, we'll know who's speaking, and not guess by the voice of the actor.

 

Full motion of the mouth is a mojor PLUS!!

No matter what anyone says about these makeups, this is the 21 century, not the the 1960s.

What's this!!


CHINS!

NO Muzzles

Yeah!  It looks like a half-finished make up job.
I guess they wanted the lower lip articulated, but the upper muzzle is a
must, which makes for a very weird over bite profile.  And those noses are
much more animalistic than anthropomorphic.  The hair doesn't look too nice
either.  It doesn't say she is the princess, it just says female, but if she
is . . . Before you try and dance the funky monkey, don't forget your stop at
the planet of the booze, Marky!   Yikes!

 

 

Humm...Yeah...oh well, too bad :o(

 

But I know I'm going to enjoy it!!!

Oh come on Jeff, an ape that has been genetically changed and traveling
backward in time and changing the coarse of human history is more
believable than apes growing to human size and talking over night.

Not to take away from the original concept (I love the original concept)
But I would be the first to admit that this new concept is more believable
with the exception of time travel.  

      Now come on!  Here it is 2001 and we know genetic engineering is not
only possible it is now a reality.  It stands to reason that after the dog
and cat plague when they decided to have apes as pets and slaves they would
tweak the genes a bit.  That would take only one generation.  How else would
they make apes more like human workers than splicing in a human gene or two.  
      It stands to reason that genetic manipulation was as far fetched in
the 70's as time travel is today.  Granted there are more problems with it
i.e. Grandfather paradoxes, time space continuum disruptions etc.... But if
you could ride the worm hole from a black hole to a white hole, who knows
what you might find?  You have to suspension of disbelief.  It is after all
science Fiction.

I don't think we'll be seeing any trailer for a month or two, since the
shooting isn't going to wrap until April

 

 

What does that have to do with anything?

It doesn't take much to make a teaser trailer.

Teasers are made months before a film is finally finished, just about every movie in history has proven that.

Wild is the operative word.
I always seem to end up the  foil to Alex, but...
These apes seem just a bit to apelike to be talking.
I think Ari's hair is all wrong and they're just too primitive over all.
I sure hope this thing doesn't end up looking like a Monkeyed Movie.

Hey No problem.

Freedom of speach is a cool thing.

Personaly I think these apes are getting better and better all the time, as for looking too real I once thought the same but in full gear these apes look kick ass! I like the way the chimps are sort of small, that's pretty neat.

 

Can't wait to see the teaser!

 

Best,

 

Alex

 

 

Alex,

 

Where are the additional pictures?

 

There seems to be the same amount to me!!

 

HELP!!!!

 

Michael

 

 

Well Mike that's if you haven't see the new ones. It's a first for me anyway.

I've just posted them on my site. at www.prophecysite.com/riseofapes.htm

There you will find the link to american mule as well from the main menu, you can't miss it.

 

Best,

 

Alex

 

Those apes look like they're off of Gilligan's Island...
I've seen better chimps surfing on Beach Blanket Bingo!
They're not that bad, but they look too much like real apes.
And Ari looks too human.  At least she got her chin back.
I realize she's half human but there's a missing link here!
Don't they have any in between?  Where are the ape I grew up with and loved? 
You know the story must have had them created in a lab.  The only way
possible.

 

Well no doubt what we're seeing here is an original concept with a whole new original story. So if no one ends up liking this new remake it will sure be hard to link this film to the originals.

I think the real nightmare would be that if the new storyline could somehow be linked to the original and the film totaly sucked, then it would in a way damage the original.

 

So with a whole new concept, the original series of films will remain intact throught motion picture history. I'm I being too dramatic? :o)

But the never the less I look foward to seeing the new Gilligan's Island Remake, I mean POTA remake!

 

RULE THE PLANET BABY!

A.D. 2001

Oh man.
If Estella or Linda end up wearing a get up like this in the film I think I'm really going to have a woody watching this film. :o)
 
Best,

Whom do you mean by "Linda"?

The only "Linda" I can think of connected with PotA is Linda Harrison,
and IMHO, this design actually looks _less_ revealing than what Linda
*did* wear in the original film.

However, I certainly won't complain if Estella ends up wearing this.  :-)

Well I fully agree with you, Linda did show more, but sometimes leaving something for the imagination can be just as hot as well. I mean come on, haven't you ever seen a women look hot in a dress? And in some cases some women look hotter dressed than undressed!

hehehe!!!

 

Although Linda and Estella will never have that problem.

 

Best,
