That would be tough to get because they were very secretive about it. They
wouldn't even give it to agents. According to Burton Fox sat on their hands
about 6months after he was hired so I'm sure by the time they got to really
handing out the script it had probably changed into the version Alex has,
which is probably close to the one printed in the 'making of" book. It's
like that other pot of gold, Cameron's treatment. There wasn't preproduction
going on so they weren't distributed like the Rifkin, Stone and Columbus
scripts. Burton, Zanuck and Baker all hated Broyles scripts so changes began
immediately. Broyles says the movie is his characters and story, but not his
dialogue. Kinda like Michael Wilson rewriting Rod Serling on the original.
What was the question?                                    - - - Jeff

Kinda like Michael Wilson rewriting Rod Serling?!!!!  WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT, VEETUS?   More like Huntz Hall rewriting the Ritz Brothers!  Get real, Jeff, the Broyles script probably sucked, but that dude at Fox, I can't remember the name, paid him a fortune for it, so that's what they had to go with.  Well, they got what they paid for with the final results.  "Doesn't that make you misty?"

OK Rory, But I'll go with 2003.

The new Millenium has lost its innocence within the first decade.

There was never any innocence to lose, you silly Aussie!  2003 will be dedicated to other big Fox pictures.  2005 more likely -- if at all.  Burton won't go near APES again unless Fox offers him a BILLION dollars -- and that won't happen.  And not only will we all be here in 2003, we'll all die old men in bed watching POTA on a big wall screen, raising are fingers to the image with our last breath, like that old guy at the end of 2001!

Hey LordT,

You know, I think on the whole, Tim Burton's movies are good. Some I like
better than others. But I don't have a single one in my video collection. I
think that says something about his skill as a storyteller. Usually I talk
about playability in reference to music. But in this day and age of video on
demand, I think watchability is just as important. If I was doing to a
deserted island and could only pack ten or twelve movies would I pick a Tim
Burton film. No.

I had read this in the tabloids but now I just heard it again on Stern, so
there must be something to it.  Tim Burton and Lisa Marie have broken up, and the reason is Helena Bonham-Carter. Though appearently it's not entirely her fault.  They've been on the skids for over a year, so when they got together for the project . . . Well, lets face it as hot as Lisa Marie is, if you'd been with her for over ten years and H B-C came along what would you do? 
Especially if you look like Tim Burton.  If he wasn't a successful movie
director he wouldn't be getting either one of them!  Let's face it, it he was
still painting vans, they would give him the time of day.

 

 

I believe it.

And I say it coming a MILE AWAY!

Just take a good look at these photos.

Notice the ones with Tim and Lisa, then notice the ones with Tim and Helean.

Oh, I forgot to meantion.

While I was at Orlando, I visited Virgin Records and saw the latest issue on Cinefex. POTA 2001 is in it, great spread on POTA. They even have a behind the scenes shot on the ending of the film. The whole damn statue was real and not just a blue screen rag on the head as was rumored on the web. That is one awesome statue, reminded me of the Lawgiver.

 

I didn't buy it knowing that I'll find it here in my area and didn't want it to get damaged during my trip. Picking up that baby tomorrow.

 

http://www.cinefex.com/home.html"

 

Here's the cover. A.I. and Jurassic is on it as well. And POTA has the smallest spread in it. But on the other hand, out of the three films, POTA had the smallest amount of Special Effects, so that's understand able. I believe the magazine leans more towards FX than Makeup.

My personal favorite was and still is "StarBlazers".

A Japanese mini series from the 70's. Three series, each series has about 26, 30 min. episodes and tells a complete story.

 

1> Quest for Escandar

2> The Comet Empire

3> The Bolar Wars

 

www.starblazers.com

 

Excellent stories about alien worlds trying to take over earth, with one space battleship and it's crew, "The Star Force" as mankinds only hope.

 

The Japanese can really tell some kick ass stories, and this one is by far the best they've ever told. As you can tell by the price of these videos on the official web site. I loved these toons growing up and watching them on television everyday before going to school.

 

Best.

See, the problem I have with "Batman Returns" is that the Penguin is so
badly done. Living in a sewer with a sea of penguins? Dripping black ink
from his mouth? What the heck? I thought Catwoman was well done aside
from the silly "brought back to life by supernatural cats" aspect, and of
course, Max Schreck was a great villain, more in line with the usual comic
villains than any of the other villains in the Batman movies. However,
something about the film really rubbed me the wrong way. "Sleepy Hollow,"
on the other hand, I think is a great film.

Not true.
Yes, it's regular night it Mondays, but I saw in on Sunday as well last week.
And after checking the guide it was on yesterday also.  So check it out tonight.
If you miss it, try and remember to catch it again on Sunday night.  It is an interesting blend of styles.  For those of you who don't know it's about a samurai warrior who defeated a demon, but was zapped into the future by him, where the demon runs everything.  It sounds serious, but it's really more comedy than drama.

Yeah, Tri-Gun and Cowboy BeeBop aren't bad.

.htmlI was just reading the article in the final issue of POTA magazine, concerning the "10th" anniversary on the Planet of the Apes...It tells how Jacobs wanted to get Apes made and how he was turned down several times...Then it says....."What most readers are not so commonly aware of is that one outfit DID want to put the Apes film together as a low budget feature. And horror of horrors, the actors were slated to wear cheap dimestore rubber masks instead of the realistic facial appliances which were eventually used......"

Does anyone know what studio would have done Apes as the low budget pic described above?? <.html

Rod Serling said in at least one or two interviews that he was first approached to adapt Boulle's "Planet of the Apes" into a movie by an outfit called King Brothers (Producer brothers Frank, Herman and Maurice King.  I believe they worked out of England.)  However, I don't know where Serling got this from, because no one has ever confirmed that story.  I'd forget it as just ancient mis-information.

  Does anyone have the "MAD" parody yet? Did you notice Linda Harrison has a cameo in that too? Zanuck must of got it for her.

Jeff, you watch Wheel of Fortune?  Who says POTA is washed up?  No more washed up than it was three years ago.  I think Fox trying to revive the francise has problems, but that's their insanity.

Hello, Here is your hint: Crush #1's email address contains: 0 freaky F's, 1 spooky S, and 0 terrifying T's Happy Halloween! Sincerely, The Crush Master

<.html

I got my copy of Brian Penreigh's book. Thanks for the mentions, Bri.
That was nice of you. I also got the new MAD magazine. Though they got a
few things wrong, funny stuff. Lots of stuff going on in the background. Too
much to list here. Obviously some Ape fans over there. Of the original, not
the new one, or they would have watched it close enough to get more things
right. One interesting point. You only ever see chimps and orangs on the
Oberon. Where did all the gorillas come from? I always put it down to
budget or none were available at the time of shooting that scene.

Could even be deleted scenes - the start was so quick they must have snipped
SOMETHING.

Then again, the sequel might suggest that the horses and the gorillas were
already there or something - who knows?

Brian Penikas said they had gorillas when they shot (maybe just a couple).
We assume there's some on there, if not that scene, somewhere on the ship.
That's the least of the logic

Subject: [pota] POTA Cartoon Order on Tape

Here's a scan of my POTA Cartoon Tapes Jeff.

It seems they are all in order, even down to the very day of broadcasting, pretty amazing. I told you it's been a while since I've seen them.

I just opened my POTA Vault and alerted the Apache Choppers over head that I would be opening the vault so no one would get hurt. :o)

 

Two dates seem to be repeated but the episodes are in broadcast order.

This guy does pretty good work, his tapes, last time I bought were only $10 a pop.

 

Best, and here is the scan.

I've just heard that DVDs of "The Powder Puff Girls - Meet the Beat Alls" has a virus on it's CD-ROM elements.

Speaking of the PPGs one of the apes honored by being placed in the backgrounds in MAD was Mojo Jojo!  Koko and Snowflake were there as well.  And speaking of Snowflake, did anyone notice that Ari's father was an albino?  Blue eyes and no pigment in his fingernails.

He couldn't be an albino if he has blue eyes. Albino's eyes are pink....

Well that may be what they say, but the reality says otherwise. I mean I am sure there are no blue eyed albinos anywhere, he's simply a freak of nature.<.html

This has nothing to do with POTA but I know many members like cartoons so I thought I'd spread the warning. Apparently they got it during manufacturing. What, now we have to quarantine our DVDs? When are these creeps going to get a life?                - - - Jeff

  Apparently none of the actors wanted to wear contacts. Heston got away with not wearing ape teeth. I guess Burton really is a nice director.                                                        - - - Jeff

I didn't notice this before, but here's a early review of the DVD for you.

-- Rory <.html

This is not the first and won't be the last argument like this. Just the
other day, I was thinking of the remake and comparing it to the classic that
went before.

I have to say that Danny Elfman's music for PotA2001 is top notch, but in
the areas of make-up, coherent storyline, high quality performances and
overall character development, I would have to say the classic Time of the
Apes wins hands down.

Alan

Are you talking about Time of the Apes, the Japanese thing?

Thanks for the heads up Rory.

Fox did claim that this was the latest cutting edge in DVD.

Now I can see why, can't wait to get this baby.

 

Best.

Al

 

P.S. I guess for those who didn't like the movie, it will be the same as I felt about Phantom Menace. Loved the DVD, didn't love the movie.

 

Oh well..
