Do you have your designs online? I'm a (curious) illustrator who
enjoys drawing the pota characters and I'd love to see any other
artist's renditions online. Any links would be great.

Well I'm assuming your designs are illustrations. If I'm totally off
track here it's because I just joined this list. ;)

I'm not sure if this got sent the first time, so I'm resending it...

Interesting interview with Wahlberg in Sunday's "L.A. Times". Says he's
buying his first house and planning to have his divorced parents live with
him. Says "Apes" is his first film that made him nervous because it's a
fantasy story. Big, big fan of Steve McQueen. Has a tatoo of rosary beads
around his neck to remind him to be good.

Those reviews were a little suspect to me. Even if they're gospel they don't seem to be the people whose opinions I'd share. But I always expected lapses in logic coming from Tim Burton. And if the ending is what they say I will probably be disappointed (but I'm definitely not going to wait for the video!). They both said Ari was the best and one said Tim Roth wasn't good, the opposite of general opinion. And they didn't like the trailer, which I thought was pretty good. We'll all know soon enough.

 

 

Well I don't doubt that this guy didn't see the movie. I just think that reviews are nothing more then simple opinion. And while he may think that apes wasn't that good, he may in turn think the Phantom Mencace was the greatest thing in the world. And may have a poster of Jar Jar binks hanging over his bed.

So you never know when it comes to opinions.

 

According to Mike, an apes fan and friend from the net. He was on a chat last night and today, and has been receiveing great comments from those who have reviewed the film already. Thta's where that post reveiw came from the other day. He sent it to me and Coming Attractions Message Forum and in turn I sent it to you guys. And according to him the great reviews just keep coming in from Japan on the chat lines.

 

The Japanese are going Ape over this movie!

They love it!

when Mlccougar tolds me he hasn't either I decided to check the
archive at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pota and there were all the
posts I've missed. I was wondering where everybody went.

I just saw a repeat of that MTV POTA special (it'll be on again
tonight) and it really looks cool this new movie. I think this will
be THE big hit film of the summer. Everyone's going to dig it.

I also saw in the latest "In Style" magazine the Reebok 'Evolved
Classic' gorilla ad. Pretty cool.

AND I saw JP3 this weekend. Not bad. I liked it better than the
first two, but now it's onwards and apewards to next weekend.

Everybody remember to watch E! News Daily everyday this week and
don't forget about the HBO First Look special Monday night, of the
Fox POTA special Wednesday night.

Hey everybody, the Sunday Papers were very thin on POTA here in NY.
Sunday Newsday had Wahlberg on the cover of the entertainment section,
FanFare. Good spread on the new flick, a 2nd article on Wahlberg, and a nice
side bar titled The Simian Saga. Has that shot of Nova & Taylor on the
platform at the dig. Also that one of Thade choking Leo. Absolutely nothing
in the Daily News. Something about Wahlberg partying in the gossip section.
And zilch in the Times, other than the ad. It'll be at the Ziegfeld in NYC.
That's where I'm seeing it. Also got the latest Maxim w/HBC on the cover.
Nice spread. Also the Talk magazine w/Estella on the cover. Hope all is well
with everybody. To those of you in the chat room on the 18th, sorry, but I
had forgotten about it, and I was headin' out the door. Never been in a chat
room before. Anyhow, we're mere days away, Have Fun, Go Apes, John P.S.,
I should get the Thade shirt any day now.

.htmlThis is for those of the group that aren't AOL members, but may want to see
this anyway. I'm not even sure if this can be "linked" by non AOL people, but
I'm willing to give it a shot by sending it to you all.

Ok, here it is: AOL Entertainment: Hot Stars of Summer

And no, my looking at this it doesn't mean my stance has softened on this
movie.It came up as a "featured" item when I signed on. I just figure, even
though it's not my cup of tea, why not tell those of you that will get
something out of this pic. I hope someone that isn't an AOL member lets me
know if this pic was able to be linked, because I'd like to know that.<.html

I only downloaded the main title snippet (that's as much of a spoiler as I
allowed myself). I liked it. From the one piece that I downloaded I'd say it
struck me as Lifeforce meets Batman, chopped together with Goldsmith's
"Congo" and "The Ghost & The Darkness".

Alan

The Face has several pages of coverage of the new Apes, but also covers
classic PotA too. It even has a classic PotA cover (Ape-o-naut, though it
wasn't a shot I recognised).

Thanks Alex for the link for a little preview of Elfman's score. I
collect film scores on CD so I've been as eagerly awaiting this as
the movie itself. (I won't say what I think of the music until I see
the movie.) I think the CD is due to hit stores tomorrow, so after
work Tuesday I'll be going on a "hunt" myself.

Don't know if this will be posted or not, I think Yahoo might be up to
it's old tricks. Anyhow, I was just watching the channel 11 news here on LI
and they had a report from the premiere. Looks like it was at the Zeigfeld.
The reporter was Toni Senecal (very Novaesque BTW, complete with leather
collar) She talked with Wahlberg, Warren, Burton & Shaq(?). Coupla of brief
clips from the film (I averted my eyes) Then stuff from the junket. Wahlberg
says it's the hardest part of doing the film. Same with Roth. Burton goofed
on it too. Then it ended with the reporter talking from the floor of the post
party. And that was it. Enjoy, John

.htmlHBO Planet of Apes was on at 9:45 pm pacific time until 10:15 30 min looked

Apes is all over the cover of TV guide.
It's one of those issues with four or five different covers each featuring a
different star. From what I can see this movie may be so much of an 'omage
to the original film that it may detract from the story rather than adding to
it.
I hope the VCR programed at my folks house caught the HBO special, as I
dropped HBO in favor of the IFC package. A friend emailed me about an Apes
special on Fox this week. I can't find it in the listings for Fox, FX or Fox
Fam. Anyone know anything about this?

Yeah we had a live report from the after party on WB 33. It looked like
fun. Though if you have to work that would limit the amount of fun you can
have. Still, it beats a 2:00 am make-up call and running around the desert
in plastic armor all day.

The POTA special on Fox is going to be on Wednesday at 7pm central time. It
will be on your basic Fox station that shows Simpsons, X-Files, and Malcolm
in the Middle. Check your local TV Guide for the time in your area. Now, can
someone tell me when the HBO special comes on again? It was not listed in my
tv guide so I have no idea when it was on.

Loc

P.S. I have a friend that works in a movie theater as a projectionist and she
saw the new POTA film tonight and loved it. Usually she and I agree the same
way on good films and bad films so I trust her.

It comes on Friday 4:00pm on HBO East & 7:00pm on HBO West. Unless you have

Perhaps it's premature to think about the "Apes" sequel (but I'm immature
so that's not such a leap) but I hear Fox would like it for 2003 if it's a
go. The average used to be 3 years between big sequels but Fox has
instituted a two year gap starting with "X-Men" to better keep up momentum.
Anyway, the cool thing is that 2003 is the 40th anniversary of the "Apes"
concept (specifically Boulle's book), the 35th anniversary of the original

Hmmm, sounds intriguing. Something I've noticed with Tim Burton is that
there's insn't a whole lopt of guess work involved (not much building of
suspense) in the scripts (his fault/who's fault??? who knows.)
Sleepy Hollow pretty much told us outright who the headless horseman was
(hey, we didn't ALL read the book =)). So the rest of the movie was simply a
matter of hanging around to see the middle and ending.
Far more effective I think had the identity been kept hidden until near the
end. Was it necessary to see Walken's made-up face? for me, no. It was far
more eeerie to see the horeman sans head than for us to know all about the
guy right near the beginning.
It reminded me of those Columbo movies. I liked Columbo (and Sleepy Hollow
actually), except we were always shown clearly who the murderer was right at
the beginning. It was fun to see how Columbo fingures it out, but sometimes
I want the suspense of not knowing.
Agatha Christie pulled off the who-done-it more skillfully IMHO.

Ah well...no matter.. =)

I've just returned home from the Fox staff screening. Pierre Boulle is
credited in the opening credits...and so he should be.
Rory's right with his approach on comparing apples w/ bananas. This is

it's something different. The same, yet different.
I look forward to reading the comments as each of you get to see it.

A magazine I read the other day also says that it's out on the 17th. It was
put back, I think.

Only get this if you're a big apes fan . They skiped so much of the
movie . Even though the movie isn't out yet . I could tell . They
said nothing about Thade's dad are Daeana's brother .

.html I liked it more than "The Mummy Returns" and "Final Fantasy" put together, comparing it other summer releases. Sometimes it looks like a $100 Million  movie and sometimes it looks like a sound stage. Fans of the Boulle's novel should be pleased that some of his concepts were used. It certainly is a popcorn movie, expect nothing more and you will not be disappointed. This is not "Simian Kane"

 There's some more reviews posted at "ain't it cool", mostly negative. I
haven't heard one positive thing about the ending. I don't like the ending
I've heard either, but I'll wait to see Burton's approach to it. Wouldn't
that be ironic if "Apes" could lay claim to both one of the most famous
endings ever and one of the worst (though some might give that title to
"Beneath")? Sounds like there's more plot holes in this movie than in the
previous 5 films.

Hated that the coverage of the premiere ignored actors from the originals.
Yeah, they talked to the great Charlton Heston, but what about Kim Hunter?
And I'm pretty sure Linda Harrison was there. Instead we get Shaq and Regis
Philbin.

 There's an article in today's "LA Times", where one of their writers
recreated an "Apes" marathon. He'd seen one in college and felt it was a
"seminal" moment of his youth. He didn't like "Beneath" and that kinda
soured the experience even though he says the last 3 were better. But
anything that gets the originals into the headlines is fine by me.

I've read some of these reviews, and most not completely.  I kept wondering
while reading, "who is it that's writing these things?"    I would guess it's
mostly guys in their early twenties, and all I have to say about that is
"What do they know?"   BUT more importantly -- "What do they expect?"

I'm 42 and PLANET OF THE APES has been my favorite film for over thirty-three
years, and I don't expect this new film to be great, but I also don't expect
it to be awful.  I KNOW it isn't going to replace the original.  It will be
pretty much what's to be expected from today's FOX, and what that is I don't
feel like saying right now -- I'm still in the "wait and see" mode.

I was thinking today, after I see this film I will want to write about it in
the group, and I can do that without spoiling anything, but if I have really
negative things to say even THAT may ruin it for others.   So, I don't know
what I'm going to do.  Probably be just vague at first, I guess, then in a
week or two really let loose.

Oh, I saw a clip from the film last night on the Tonight Show.  It was a
scene where Thade flips out after learning the humans have escaped on horses.
 Anyway, watching it I thought maybe this movie should be called "Voyage to
the Planet of the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz."    Anyway, that's
cool -- "The Wizard of Oz" is also one of my favorite movies.

Why bother to bring back the entire cast in new roles? Hire new actors and
save some bucks.

My local "Toys 'R Us still has the Hasbro "Classic Apes" figures from '99,
but they've bumped up the price from $7.99 to $10.99 to match those from the
new movie!

OK guys - this is getting too close and I don't want to know too much - unlike Ken I have 2 more weeks to wait!

 

At the risk of sounding like another escapee:

 

(1) Alex, could you please send me on of your kind emails responding to "how do I de-link from this group?"

 

(2) From what Ken has said, this movie will not be too cerebrally challenging.  It will be entertaining and that suits me.  It will have all the same social comments (comparing to slavery etc) and a "shock" ending.  My guess is that it will not be a shock at all for those who have read the book and seen the movie.  I hope you can all just appreciate the Classic for what it is and hopefully one day someone in the group will have $20mil to throw away on a better movie that none of the general public will pay to see or understand (but all of us die - hard fans will be happy).

 

(3) I'll be back after I see the movie.  Best wishesuntil then.

I'm going to post what I think will happen and just send it to myself just to
get a date stamp before release. If I'm right, I'll post it after our Brit
friends have seen it. As far as the ape chatter, yeah I think they are too
apey sometimes, especially since Helena and Lisa Marie don't look all that
apelike. Though I don't think I'll hate the movie, I prefer my apes evolved.
However I have seen some very Neanderthal humans, particularly in the South.
I suppose some of us have a longer climb up the evolutionary ladder than
others.

.htmlI just finished watching the special Fox had on tonight.

FINALLY!!!!!  A tribute to the original film during it!!!

It was the best part of the show!

Hey, did anybody else see the clip shown on Access Hollywood of the Japanese
Attar Pepsi commercials?   Really cool.  I wish they were showing them here.

recommend it.

$20 million? Wait! I have $20 million. You mean I could make a "Planet of the Apes" movie with that?

 

 Michael, you could always just ignore the e-mails for now. I've been away for two weeks before and then got caught up. If not you're just a damn escapee. Escapee! Escapee!

OK guys - this is getting too close and I don't want to know too much - unlike Ken I have 2 more weeks to wait!

 

At the risk of sounding like another escapee:

 

(1) Alex, could you please send me on of your kind emails responding to "how do I de-link from this group?"

 

(2) From what Ken has said, this movie will not be too cerebrally challenging.  It will be entertaining and that suits me.  It will have all the same social comments (comparing to slavery etc) and a "shock" ending.  My guess is that it will not be a shock at all for those who have read the book and seen the movie.  I hope you can all just appreciate the Classic for what it is and hopefully one day someone in the group will have $20mil to throw away on a better movie that none of the general public will pay to see or understand (but all of us die - hard fans will be happy).

 

(3) I'll be back after I see the movie.  Best wishesuntil then.

 

Michael

According to an interview on movieheadlines.net, Wahlberg says he will only do the sequel if Burton directs. >From what I understood, he's contractually committed to a sequel. Does this mean Burton's a shoo-in to direct? Burton hates sequels and made an anti-sequel with "Batman Returns". I also read yesterday that the whole cast has signed for the sequel. Based on what I know about the movie, how are they going to bring some of the characters back?

Hey Alex,

What is the release date for the Special Edition DVD of "Behind the Planet of
the Apes"?   Your site says that it's August 17th, but Amazon.com is telling
me it's August 7th.  So what's the story?

Also, thanks for the info on your site about the Sci-Fi Channel show Friday
at 7 PM (It's not in the TV Guide).

-- Rory

 

 

My mistake then. I thought Brian said the 17th?

Oh well, back to updates! Thanks Rory.

 

My site has gone from 30 Thousand hits a day now to 70 Thousand +!

So it seems that someone is liking this film, no doubt these hits are coming from those who have already seen it.

 

But we'll soon see anyway.

 

Best,

Alex

Hey gang,

I've just found this site and they say they're going to have a live chat with
Peter Staddon from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

IF we can get on this might be a good time for APES fans to tell this guy
just what we want to see on DVD.

I'll try to be there.

 Yeah, Brian! I saw you on the tube. The only one without makeup on. Unfortunately, they referred to the original as a "kitsch classic" and gave away the ending. These newspeople are all the same. But "Apemania" is one of a kind.

 According to movieheadlines.com, Richard Zanuck told Kim Hunter at the

she's never dwelled on the originals (no website, no conventions). She is

I haven't called Joe Russo to see how the premiere went and what he thinks of
the new movie.  Since he's also doing the Jersey Convention this weekend, I
think I'll wait until Sunday night and get the ape poop on that, too.

Joe didn't get to go to the premiere. Co-author Larry Landseman went with
Kim. They only gave Kim 2 tickets??? I guess that was so Bryant Gumbel
could go.

Joe said the movie had some interesting stuff but is forgettable and no
match for the original. Told you Zanuck!

 FX special is on tonight. Is E!'s "Behind the Scenes" about "Apes" this
week?

Yeah, Joe told me about the two ticket thing.  And I figured that would be
his reaction to the new movie -- it'll probably be mine, too.

The E! POTA Special is tomorrow at 7:30, but what looks like a better program
is the Sci-Fi Channel's POTA special at 7 PM (These are Eastern time, three
hours earlier in CA, I guess)
