This has been bugging me for awhile -

There's horses in the Apes films, right? Well then... how come these
horses don't 'evolve' at all, eh? I mean, they're just there - You
don't really seem to notice them much. They only serve as
transportation, nothing great.

So, yeah, wanna give your theories on why the horses didn't evolve at
all? This is really starting to annoy me... well, not really. I
just want opinions. :)

<< OK, Alex, how many times have you seen it now? It's been 5 for me, and I
would have gone more if I didn't have to work all the blasted time... >>

Today makes 7 for me.

And I was gratified to see I was not alone. There were about 30 others watch
as well. When you consider that there are only about three other movies that
have had a bigger opening day. And other block busters like Shrek and The
Mummy Returns have been at the box office for weeks and weeks, it really
hasn't done badly for it's self. There may be a sequel yet! Let's just get
a better story next time.

They started with Eohippuses and bred them up.
They're easier to store on the space station than evolved horses.

Maybe before it was the planet of the apes it was the planet of the horses.  
But I think there were horses in the new film simply because there were
horses in the original, and the new movie really is just a pale copy of the
original with a few changes.

Oh no, there I go again.  I guess I'll be hearing from Alex now.

Presumably the horses were native to the planet. They weren't tampered
with genetically, so they're just horses. For that matter there may have
been apes and humans native to the planet. The new arrival apes perhaps
interbred with them (Hasslein's nightmare come true) helping along the
species. The movie asks us to swallow a lot more than that.

Hmmm....I guess it is his choice to be homophopic (if he is), but it would also be his choice to be homicidal - not a good choice in either scenario.

 

I never heard any of those statements and I certainly would not agree with them.  People should be free to choose and express their individual preferences - and respect each other for them.

 

No, there is nothing wrong with being a devout Catholic - but there is something wrong with thinking that being a devout Catholic means you have to say bad things about homosexuals.  I mean Jesus was a radical in his time, and whether he was the son of god or not, he taught that above all things we should treat one another as we expect to be treated.....and that's just plain common sense!

 

So sorry about Mel.  I hear he was born in New York............let's talk about some Aussies!  Now Russell Crowe......he can act....

sci-fi was looked down on and perhaps helped it with the "high brow "

all that crap music wouldn't make a fortune.

Nah Brian, it had to happen sooner or later. Better a film you worked on
than something like Rugrats. Rush Hour 2 seems unshakable in the # 2 slot.
Maybe you can knock it down to 3rd. And Apes pulled a respectable # 9 in the
dailies for Labor Day with over $900.000. And after a little more than a
month is already in the top 100 of all time. Considering the bad word of
mouth and mixed reviews, I remain optimistic for a sequel.

One of the reasons for this is because it's like the only film Fox has out
right now.  Notice that it's still on over 1,500 screens.  It was on over
3000 screens for three weeks!   It's basically being pushed to 180 million.

Being fair with Rory:

While Planet of the Apes 2001 has made more money than POTA Original comparing past to present prices. Planet of the Apes Original did make 3 TIMES what the film cost worldwide. So the Original Planet of the Apes is the more successful of the two.

 

Okay Rory, you can start having your field day now.

 

BUT, If Planet of the Apes 2001 makes up to 400 million worldwide itself, both films will be head to head making them both 3 time profit makers.

How interesting!

If we get a good script, it's more likely to be an accident than
something Burton insists upon. I don't think we have to have
Burton nor any of the POTA 2001 actors back. What will make or
break the franchise is the script.

.htmlThe latest issue of Film Score Monthly has Danny Elfman and APES on the
cover.  Inside is an article about Elfman's attitudes toward APES both old
and new, and what he had to go through scoring the picture.  One interesting
fact:  "Veteran percussionist Emil Richards is one of the few musicians to
have performed on both the original 'Planet of the Apes' score (he played the
famous mixing bowls in two key cues early in the film) and the new version."

Also I just got the reborn Cinescape magazine.  Nothing much in it, but it
does have a really good essay "Summer of Our Discontent: A season of
unmemorable flicks had genre buffs wondering, 'What happened?'"    Of course
APES is talked about -- and Alex won't like it!

Alex, I know you don't understand this, but ALL I really care about is how
good is the film from a critical standpoint.  Now I know that if something
you love is dismissed by the critics you're attitude is just "What do they
know."   But, I think they know something, and I go along with it.  There are
many films I look forward to right up to opening day, but if I see most of
the reviews are bad -- I skip it -- like "Jeepers Creepers."  It got some
really bad ones.   But that's okay -- I'll rent damn near anything on DVD!

What did Mark Altman think of "Apes"?

This week the "Apes" DVD was #4 at my local Tower (down a notch) and the
VHS was #5.

This is what Elfman says in FSM. . . .  "Although Elfman has admitted to
being a fan of genre movies, he's the first to admit that he never became
pert of the cult that grew up around 'Planet of the Apes' and its four
sequels.  'This is a movie that I saw as a kid and I liked it, but I didn't
think anything more about it, I wasn't crazy about it.  It wasn't like 'The
Exorcist' and '2001' where I saw those movies probably six or seven times
when they came out.  'Apes' I saw and it was fun, but I really didn't want to
revisit it.  I never saw it again until I was on my way to New York to spot
the movie with Tim, and I popped a DVD in and watched it.  I really enjoyed
it, and definitely one of the more intriguing and interesting parts of the
movie was Jerry Goldsmith's score."

And he has more to say, but you can read it yourself later.  Mark Altman did
not comment.  He's more worried about "Enterprise" right now.  I guess APES
is pretty much history, except it's still making money and will continue to.

Hi!

I've been on holiday, so I've been keeping up via digest format.
Please excuse my tardiness in this matter.

I think that Burton's film is actually a 'better' version or 're-telling' of
BATTLE than maybe of the original film. It's not hard to re-imagine, say
maybe Brent's search for Taylor along similar lines. No way am I watching
the new film before CONQUEST though, IMO best of the original 'sequels'.

Hey, by the way, who do we write to get that 'directors cut' of CONQUEST on
DVD?

The encouraging thing is that the 87 -year-old director seems to have an
interest in DVD. He did the commentary for "The Guns of Navarone" and a
special edition of his "Cape Fear" comes out this month. Reportedly he wants
to do a director's cut of "Conquest". I think they should do a 2-disc set of
his cuts of "Conquest" and "Battle". But that probably depends on how well
the current "Apes" DVDs

Yes, sometimes the last word of my e-mails cuts off. Maybe I should do the
last word twice. But that would probably confuse people too. too too too

My bro Dave Ballard sent me the British SFX "Apes" Special. This is a must
have. It's all "Apes", all the time. Plus a special sleeve, 2 lobby cards
and "stat cards" for Cornelius and Thade. Book a ticket for the U.K. and go
there NOW.

Thanks - that's better!

They look quite good.

Michael


Just go to:

http://www.toyboxdx.com/set-rumble.html"

and scroll down a bit. It's the news item from 9-1-01 entitled "Once Again".
Look for the Medicom logo.

"Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter" have their reports for the summer.
Fox was the #3 studio, thanks to those reJacobsed flicks POTA and Dr.
Dolittle. Fox got 12.8% of the market. #1 was Universal with 17.4% ("Mummy
Returns", "Jurassic Park", "American Pie 2" and "The Fast and the
Furious" - - - quite a lineup). #2 was Disney (13.4%) thanks to "Pearl
Harbor" and "The Princess Diaries".

Fox seems pleased with "Apes", especially the opening, which was the
biggest in Fox history. Fox chairman Jim Gianopulos said, "It was a
tremendous feat for both Tim Burton and Dick Zanuck". Jim went on to thank
Alex for seeing the movie so often. OK, I made that last part up.

"Apes" just made $3.9 million in Spain, the biggest movie opening ever
there.
