Okay, now I really don't know what's going on.  In the APES chat room some of
us were in Tuesday night someone -- and I forget who now -- said they had
talked to Jane that day and the TV show DVDs were off again.  He said he'd
call her again on Wednesday and get more info and then post it, but he
didn't.   So that's were I am.

I haven't called Jane because the last time I did, she sounded a little
annoyed with all the APES calls she was getting.  I'm perfectly happy to just
wait and see what comes out on Nov. 20th.  I'm not exactly climbing the walls
over this.  When it comes, it comes.

I'm keeping an open mind on the film.

I still believe it can generate interest in the classic and therefore enable
scenarios such as the release of the TV Series, Cartoon show. Maybe even a
TV only 2 hour movie telling of the fate of Virdon & Burke (would need Brian
for the make up/costumes and I would want to discuss with original
actors/writers where they thought the fate of the astronaut fugitives lay).

If the movie is crap - so be it. I still watch classic Lost in Space and
the movie did not spoil that for me or cheapen the original.

Many people in this group are negative, closed minded and "precious" about
the originals. I am being positive and keeping an open mind. While I have
reservations about the film, I am not going to dwell on the negative because
that is a negative thing to do.

Let's see the film and then decide.

Michael

Hi Guy. I just did a major search of the Internet using Webferret and
could only find two references to J. Fransciscus's death in 1991. I
don't know if he was a smoker but whatever the case, one can be very
active and athletic and still get emphysema. /Mez

When I first heard about the 'remake' last year, I thought it was a
terrible idea. Since then I've come to agree completely with Michael.
Going into the theatre with blinders on -- or boycotting Burton's
film outright -- is just plain silly. The originals will *always* be
special. Nothing Hollywood does can change that.

I'm looking forward to seeing Burton's film for a few reasons. It's
new. It's different. Who knows, it might even be 'original' in its
own right.

Most important, it's bound to create new Apes fans, some of whom will
get curious and discover the originals through it. And I reckon
that's a good enough reason to welcome it with enthusiasm. /Mez

It makes sense to have more than one ending. Not only does it allow Burton
to chose the one that plays best, but it make it easier to keep it a
surprise. Though I don't think they can top the ending from the first film.
I hope they can keep it a secret. I'd hate for someone to spoil it for me.
As it get closer I'm trying to avoid all spoilers. I guess I'll have to try
and go to the first showing on the first day in case you guys are burning up
the wires. But lets try and hold off a while a curtesy to our British

Okay, I'm recalling this off the top of my head, so I may be wrong in some
details.

James Franciscus was a VERY heavy smoker -- three or four packs a day.  
People tried to get him to stop, even BENEATH director Ted Post, but he
wouldn't.

What happened to him is this. . .  He had emphysema so bad that one day while
lying on the living room couch he stopped breathing.  His wife called the
paramedics and they were able to resuscitate him, BUT he'd gone without
breathing long enough to render him braindead.  He was on a hospital
resuscitator for two or three days before his wife had them turn it off.  
I've read that as he was dying his wife sat by his side saying, "Poor baby.  
Poor baby."

Let that be a lesson to those of you who smoke.

.html I was in visiting a friend at Fox Home Entertainment today a got a sneak peak at the packaging for what I believe to be the International ( not America or Canada ) packaging for the film series on DVD. Like the U.S release, it'll be a 6 disc set including "Behind the Planet of the Apes" ( I couldn't ascertain which version but assume it will be the regular version, not the version being released by Image Entertainment in the U.S next month). The basic look of the packaging uses the same elements as the 'Evolution' DVD set, but is presented in a fold out 'digi-pack' that hold the six individual discs instead of 6 separate 'clamshell' cases. It is much more compact and looks similar to the 'X-Files"  DVD box sets for those who are familiar with those. There will be a booklet ( but I didn't see that ) and the fold out section will be embossed with the image of 'Caesar' that appears on the 30th Ann. 'Planet' cover. It then fits into a cardboard slipcase that features the 'Liberty and Taylor' art from the 30th 'Planet' cover. From what I saw it looked well presented and will make a nice collectible pack. I have no idea if the same art and packaging style will be used for the planned U.S re-release of the series later this year.

Really? No dubbed American accents? Cheers Mike! You rule! Musta been
goin' flat out like a lizard drinkin'. My fave Aussie phrase! Got that one
from Mel 'Mad Max' Gibson off E! Wild On Australia. And you gotta love that
car! A DJ here just bought the Mach 5, but I like the Interceptor even
better. I think there's a connection there. I could almost swear that in
the dubbed version we can get over here, that Peter Fernandez, the voice of
Speed and Racer X did the voices of Max and Fifi. Can anyone confirm of deny
this? It sure sounds like him anyway.
It's a shame about Lost in Space though. I don't know why it hasn't been
picked up by Nick or TV Land. Oh the pain, the pain, the pain . . . If the
movie's gonna have a sequel, you think they'd be hypin' the show. Then
again you'd think that Sci -Fi would pick up the POTA series for another
season. Where are the advertising geniuses on this one? Good thing I guess,
or no DVDs.
Oh, there will be a Speed Racer movie BTW, to tie in with all these Mach 5s
they're selling. Live action apparently. But with them starting at $72.5k,
probably only Brian has the scratch to pick one up. Especially since Jeff
gave him all his money.

<< Going into the theatre with blinders on -- or boycotting Burton's

One thing's for sure. If it doesn't turn a profit there won't be any more
Apes movies any time soon. So whether you're all for a retelling or you're a
purist, it pays to support it. I;m going to support it even if I don't much
care for it. I want more of this type of film and I want Hollywood to know
it. It's like pledging during Brit-Coms on PBS. If you'd like to see more
of this type of programing, etc . . .

Hi All!

My name is Dave Lasher and I am brand new to this group.
I have been a Planet of the Apes fan ever since I was a kid in the
70's. I remember playing for hours with the little action figures
and the Planet of the Apes treehouse. Of course I always had to mess
around with things. Like I would bring my Star Trek action figures
into the story and beam the apes up to my little plastic enterprise
bridge.
Anyway, I guess at 36, I haven't changed so much because I'm messing
around with things again. I've just recorded a parody song based on
the first Planet of the Apes movie. The music is based on Flagpole
Sitta by Harvey Danger. If anyone is interested in checking it out,
you can find it at http://www.mp3.com/davelasher You might get a
laugh out of it.
I can't tell you how psyched I am about the new movie!!! I hope they
do the franchise justice. Still, it will be a must see no matter how
bad it may turn out.
Well, I'm off to read the archived posts now to see where all your
heads are at. Nice to meet you. See you soon.

Oh cool first one to say hi . This is a great group to be in . I
just joiend this week ,and I'm one of the younger members (19). Can't
wait for the new movie my self . Liked your pariodey .

Crystal Roses

On tonight's episode of Jeopardy one of the categories was "Tim Burton Film
Festival" and one of the questions was:

"In 2001, Tim directed a remake of this 1968 sci-fi classic that starred
Roddy McDowell"

Of course the answer was "What is Planet of the Apes?"

Just thought someone would like to know this!

Matt

CNN Headline news...
is talking about online promos and mentioned the Apes scavenger hunt.

Hello I have just joined the group but dont know how

I just emailed Andrea Miniatures to find out if they are going to
continue this as a series. I'll let everyone know when I receive a
reply. Still trying to figure out the price conversion. If it's like
some of their other two figures sets I've seen in the past expect
around $50.

They do almost all of their figures in white metal. If they ever
produce a figure on horseback or groups of figures the cost jumps
considerably.

Right now it looks as this two figure piece is the only one they have
made so far. They refer to two figures as a set, it doesn't mean they
have a line of POTA figures produced yet. If we all go and email them
with suggestions and purchase this first "set" more may follow.

Yeah, I saw that on Jeopardy last night too. Knew that they would have
to have a question about the new flick. Haven't been posting much lately.
Guess I needed to take a break & recharge my batteries, so to speak. Nice to
see some new members to the group. Welcome all, come on in, the water is
fine. Sorry I missed the chat last week. I'll keep my eyes out for the next
one. Don't forget part I of "Behind POTA" on AMC tonight at 10 Eastern. I
really liked that new minature from Andrea whatever. I went to the site, but
got some kind of error message in spanish. Yikes! Hope they have a Nova
miniature. BTW, tomorrow night the Simpsons is repeating the episode where
they go on safari. Towards the end, Lisa is looking through one of the
scientists notebooks & there is a quick shot of the Hunt, as can only be
drawn by Groening. Keep your eyes peeled, it's only a quick shot.Well, a
month to go. We're into the home stretch. Go Apes! John

I'm ticked that the Toys R Us here doesn't have this set in stock yet.They
still have the individual kits,but not the box set.Alex,did you see a price

Hiya Blake, like Rory and mlcougar said, you're posting fine so no
problem there.

If you want to change your online name for this group, I think what
you need to do is go to 'My Preferences' under your Yahoo Groups area
and add a new name, then re-subscribe to this group using that name.
BUT it's probably more trouble than it's worth! Tell us about
yourself and your Ape fixation instead.

Welcome ~ Mez :)

Thanks for the welcome, Mez. I'm glad you got a kick out of the song.
Actually I'm a Mainer living in exile in California.
My wife got a really good high tech job in Silicon valley so we moved out

I keep seing merchindics pop up on ebay for the new movie .I really
shouldn't order any thing at this time .Since I just orderd the live
actiontv series ( All 14 episoeds ).Can't wait to get ' em .

Any ways . Will it be pretty easy to find the new ape products once
the movie is out ? I'm really wanting to get the mouse pad with Attar
on it .

I saw that the Memphis Con was deleted from Linda Harrisons' webpage. I
just got a reply from her site that she has cancelled due to a scheduling
conflict. Oh well, there will always be Jersey. Just thought that the group
might like to know. John

I saw them a while back. Didn't know they were worth 60 bucks apiece though.
I'm sure they'll soon be all the rage. With supply side economics they'll go
up to 75 and then be trying to dump them at 45. Then when they're reare
again they'll be paying $300 buck a set on eBay!

I was planning on making a trip to my local Walmart (about 20 minutes away)
today, but it's raining so hard, and we get such street flooding here in
Florida, that it'll have to wait until tomorrow when hopefully it'll be nicer
out.

Thanks for the heads up, Alex.

The company that makes them says on their website that they used these puppet
apes for scenes on a space station where apes are trained for space flights.  
They are used in the background because a lot of baby apes were needed.  I
would imagine they are very much in the background.

Actually what I know of Franciscus' death is what I read in this book on the
deaths of actors.   I looked at it in a bookstore years ago, but I didn't buy
it, AND I can't remember the name of the book.  But it was interesting.  I
read things like who really committed suicide and the bizarre ways some
actors died (one old-time character actor died because he electrocuted
himself installing a garbage disposal under the kitchen sink).
