Hi Patrick - - -

This is Jeff Krueger. I think we talked about your chronology a while
back. That would be great if you could publish your book. There's been a lot
of controversy about how to do that. Fox has been very strict since this new
movie. If you presented your material as nonfiction and unofficial instead
of as a novel I think you could do it your way and they couldn't touch you.
Such as those "Science of 'Star Wars' books and what not. But it sounds
like you want to give the characters dialogue and so forth and that would be
more difficult.

  I think the OK is tentative while they hammer out the script. They probably have the dough for a screenwriter and will decide based on the result. That DVD review I mentioned yesterday (dvdangle.com) said that Burton explained in his commentary that he knew where the ending is leading and someone else will continue it, but he's got it mapped out. Sounds to me that Burton might be back as a producer with someone else directing. I'm for that. Burton can help shape the visuals but someone else can hopefully tell an involving story. And if Burton's the producer, he's "back" and those actors whose contracts said they'd return if Burton did are stuck. It's like the 3rd "Batman' where Burton was a producing figurehead (and made some nice dough).                                - - - - Jeff

Well, I haven't seen anywhere else on the web any news of a POTA 2, so I guess it's still wait and see time.

-- Rory



I think it could be true.
Because way back when epiosode 1 was being created, there was word that episode 2 would be coming out in 2003. That's why you see that after my countdown was finished, I went ahead with countdown to 2003.

But then removed it because no official word was ever given. Just news on the web way back then.
But if it is 2003, I would think that they would give word by now. Just to build up the hype for those who want to learn how exactly Thade ruled the planet.

Best.

.htmlWell, my personal opinion is, once you've made the story, what's the point of all these d***  remakes?

Well, that's a good question.  I think their point was that after thirty years the originals had become dated to the point of being campy.  A lot of that is due to the decline of the sequels, especially budget wise.  Of course the whole point of it is lost if you make the remake campy.  But then again, I don't think their true intention was to make a better Apes, but to make a bigger pile . . . of money!  Or crap depending on your point of view.  And like a good ape, I'd like to fling it at them.  That's what they're in business for.  Not to make art.  To make money.  Of course with the budget they had they could have done both.  But maybe they can't tell the difference.  Is Burton's rep just more Hollywood hype.  Hard to tell when you measure success in money.  But maybe being Mr. nice guy is only good for getting actors to work with you, and not studios.

The point is that it raises interest in the entire POTA franchise, which can
only be seen as a positive. If it wasn't for the new film, I doubt if we
would be seeing things like the TV series on DVD, the onslaught of new
merchandise, books like POTA: Revisited, the repackaged BEHIND DVD, etc.

It's all good.

Subject: POTA DVD INCREDIBLE!

Well I've just picked up the POTA 2001 DVD, and I must say it is awesome! Step aside Terminator II Special Edition, POTA is the new king in DVD!
 
DISC 2
 
Incredible, the multi angle scenes are amazing. You can watch 4 vidoes at one time and chose the audio of any of the four. TONS of multi angle segments. Including behind the scenes of Tim directing and screen tests. TONS of them.
 
6 great documenturies plus the HBO Special. Music Videos, T.V. Spots, some never seen before. The extended scenes are nothing we haven't seen before because they are the same scenes but added lines later deleted in the final cut. And a whole lot more!
 
And just when you think you've seen it all, there's DISC 1
On my God!
 
You have the option of watching the movie as you would any DVD movie, then there's the ENHANCED OPTION. Where the movie is being played but through out the movie a PICTURE IN PITURE pops up and you see behind the scenes and documenturies highlighting that scene that your watching at the same time.
 
Then if that isn't enough, a symbol of the Oberon appears, and when you hit enter. You see a full behind the scenes feature of that scene. When the feature is finished, your returned right back where you left off in the movie.
This is incredible, no wonder the DVD reviews are so damn great!
 
I wasn't able to get the DVD T.V. Series yet, I'll have to wait until the 20th like everyone else. But looking foward too it!
 
Best.

The point is that it raises interest in the entire POTA franchise, which can
only be seen as a positive. If it wasn't for the new film, I doubt if we
would be seeing things like the TV series on DVD, the onslaught of new
merchandise, books like POTA: Revisited, the repackaged BEHIND DVD, etc.

It's all good.

As far as Fox is concerned the point is to make more money.  The show must go on, and the show must make money to keep going on.

The difference with Harry Potter is that it has cross-over appeal to parents who
are into it because of their kids ( like me) . Having read a couple of the books,
I think it looks like fun and I also think It'll slaughter POTA 2001in terms of
opening days business.

Pretty great, Rory, I must say.
The picture is crystal clear, and the 5.1 surround sound is great. Even the darker scenes in the Jungle and Ape City are crystal clear. A lot more sharper than I've seen yet. And I have over 100 movies on DVD.
 
Movies on DVD always look a lot shaper then they do in the theatres, but this is even more beyond that. I'm impressed. When you see the Oberon in Space, the details are outstanding. I have a 32" JVC myself.

Believe me, KEN, you will be impressed with the way you can watch this movie with the latest tech in DVD. Picture in picture and documentaries as well. The documentaries you see in DISC 2 are not the same as the ones in DISC 1, they are all new, just for the movie as you watch it.
 
The Matrix has something like this, a rabbit appears and when you enter you get a documentary for that segment of the film, then it returns you to the movie. But the docs that they show are the same ones you would see if you just choose documentaries. But the POTA ones are all new and with the added feature, picture in picture.

I used to think there was something there, but considering what a shitty year 2001 has turned out to be, and what a disappointment the new movie was, well. . . . I don't want to think about it any more.  I prefer to just remember '68 and wonder, "What happened?"

Hey, Lord T!!!!   Call BATTLE or BENEATH or the TV show campy, but only an idiot thinks the original film is campy.



I don't think it's campy.
With the possible exception of Heston's performance.
You have to admit it is over the top...not that there's anything wrong with that.  That's what makes his lines so classic and quotable.



Heston is just being Heston in PLANET.  It's quintessential Chuck.  I get a little pissed when people knock Heston's PLANET performance.  Who else would have been better?  He was perfect, and what happened to him in the movie couldn't have happened to a 'nicer' guy.

I wasn't knocking Heston.  I like him when he's over the top.
I sure as hell don't think the understated approach works when you wind up on a planet of apes.  We all saw that with Wahlberg.

Wahlberg was a nighmare in POTA 2001, he played every scene as if he
lands on a planet of the apes every week! I can't help but think that
a much older and more seasoned actor would have lent so much more to
the part, but then again with a script that dire I don't think any
actor could have saved Wahlbergs part.

In fact I think that this re-imagining concept failed on every level,
with the benefit of hindsight I would now have preferred a scene by
scene exact remake. I remember reading an article in Ape Chronicles
(remember that) from many years ago, this was while the remake was
still only being talked about by Fox. It said how exciting it will be
to see the space shuttle crashlanding in the desert, and to see the
astronaut(s) finally discovering that the planet was Earth. Then
using some fantastic ILM style special effect for the Statue of
Liberty or similar type scene at the end.

Yeah I know an exact remake would have not gone done well with
the 'don't mess with a classic you'll only fail' brigade, but hell
look what we ended up with!!

Alex, does this mean you like the Burton movie again? Did Burton explain things to you?      - - - Jeff
 
Well, the explained ending on the official site still sucks in my point of view. And Tim is not clear when it comes to the ending. He just calls it a reversal and leaves it at that on the DVD.
 
The picture in picture and docs during the movie don't say anything as well, but they do take you behind the scenes and show the statue of Thade with it's creator, pretty damn cool.
Picture in Picture and Doc are not that constant during the movie. But there are plenty there to keep you entertained.

Well, I got tired of getting those stupid 'street team' e-mails about two days into the thing and un-subscribed myself.  I just got an e-mail from Amazon today that both DVDs, new movie and TV series, were mailed today.  I paid for two-day shipping so hopefully I'll have them by Monday or Tuesday.  However, I've been planning on watching the blessed original movie, which I haven't seen in months, on Thanksgiving night whilst I digest my turkey, so watching that new movie again will have to wait until the next day.

  No, they supplied some links to sci-fi websites and I just let them know about it. It wasn't a lie, I was excited about the DVD and I've been promoting "Apes" a long time. It's about time I got something free. I did have to sacrifice one e-mail address so I had to give them Rory. Enjoy the junk mail, old friend and, remember, if it looks like a virus delete it! (Just kidding).
 
 So far I've kinda flipped through the movie. I'm no expert on DVD quality, I don't know from "reference quality" but it looks fine. The more I see this movie the more it's like an episode of the TV show, from stealing horses to the underplaying of the ship crash to the layout of the city to the underacting. The soul of this movie is still Ari and the music.I think it plays better on TV given it's storytelling inequities but visually it looses it's impact. Ape City looks kinda muddy but that's the film not the DVD. Oh, and they DID change the corporate montage ("Get into it") but they used clips from the same old movies (X-Men, X-Files, etc.) No "Apes" clips. But they did put some clips from "Big Momma's House" in there including a close-up of Paul (Limbo) Giamatti.                            - - - Jeff

 No one really e-mails to the street team group. It's obvious everyone's there just to get a free DVD. I don't think the DVD will change anyone's opinion of the film but it seems less dire on TV. That's where the movie belongs, not on a big screen in a group situation. But I think once you get used to what is and what it isn't it's fun. I'm interested to hear your comments, Rory, once you can scrutinize it. I noticed the headrest on the pod is a big peace symbol. Subtle, Burton.

  Haven't got to "Monkey Face" yet but I am blown away by these documentaries! They aren't just footage slapped together, they are polished films. They also borrow liberally from the originals. At one point, Elfman talks about the score for the original and they show the hunts from both the old and the new. They play the Goldsmith music during the stunt test (one guy is wearing a shirt with Caesar, Lisa and Cornelius on it). I love the part where they are teaching the real chimp to wear his astronaut clothes. There's one shot where they tell him "Thumbs Up!", "Hands on Hips!" and it's just like, he takes the orders and it's like a guy in makeup - - but it's a real chimp. This stuff is gold. I'm glad they decided  to document this shoot. And the different tests are so cool. Well, back to the DVD.

Nice theory, except for one problem... "Temporal" doesn't mean "temporary."
It means "pertaining to time." It's a common term in science fiction
vehicles referring to time-travel.

Nothing temporary about it, I'm afraid. :)

Well, if you liked the Music CD, wait until you get the DVD. Remarkable! When you see the movie with the Danny Elfman Commentary, you see the whole movie with no spoken words and Danny giving his comments from time to time. Awesome!

However, they do use that word "hypothesis". I'm with Alex; I don't think
they'd give away what happens in the sequel on a website. If they're smart
(the jury is out) they'd use that as the maguffin to make us think that's
what they're going to do, then blow us away with something different when we
get to the theatre (hope springs eternal). - - - Jeff

Haven't got to "Monkey Face" yet but I am blown away by these documentaries! They aren't just footage slapped together, they are polished films. They also borrow liberally from the originals. At one point, Elfman talks about the score for the original and they show the hunts from both the old and the new. They play the Goldsmith music during the stunt test (one guy is wearing a shirt with Caesar, Lisa and Cornelius on it). I love the part where they are teaching the real chimp to wear his astronaut clothes. There's one shot where they tell him "Thumbs Up!", "Hands on Hips!" and it's just like, he takes the orders and it's like a guy in makeup - - but it's a real chimp. This stuff is gold. I'm glad they decided  to document this shoot. And the different tests are so cool. Well, back to the DVD.

  S***! I forgot about that. How am I going to get through all this tonight? By the way I'm at the part where Giamatti is watching the original "Apes". Giamatti seems to be the biggest fan. In the 'making of' book it says he had all the toys and everything. And also Michael Clarke Duncan. They are the two big fans of the cast. Also, in the current "Entertainment Weekly" (with "Lord of the Rings") it mentions director Frank Darabont ("Shawshank Redemption", "Green Mile") has all the Mego figures in his office. I understand he was in the running to direct "Apes" before Burton got the nod.    - - - - Jeff

  Well, the guy that produced it, David Prior, did Fox's "Fight Club" DVD. Last year "Entertainment Weekly" picked that as the best DVD ever (and yes, T2 was in the running). They also picked the "Apes" box set as among the 10 best DVD box sets.           - - - Jeff

Well, then you're lucky. I heard Michael Clark Duncan saying on the special
you're gonna be so surprise. And then when I saw it I was like, Oh, the

When I first saw the ending I liked that it was like the book. I'd heard
the bad reviews and what's-his-face gave away the ending on the internet, so
I was expecting the worst. So I kinda gave the movie and the ending some
slack. When I saw it again the ending didn't work for me. Now I've seen it
on DVD and I like it again. Maybe it's that thing I said about it not being
so dire on TV.

    Yeah, Burton explains in the DVD that he didn't expect to top the original. But wanted to leave it open to thought and not explained. That way, if Fox wanted to make a sequel, they could go in any direction why wanted, as far as time, and storyline.
    And it's true. You can go from Leo trying to prevent the ultimate fate as in Back to the Future to continuing the story from where they left off, or even go back to when this ulternate future begins and how.
     
    Heck, they don't even have to deal with getting the time correct because no direct time was given. Leo's clock counts backward when he returns but suddenly that scene cuts away as he's traveling through time and space.
     
    No 3978 to 3955 problem will occur here. It seems that Burton as an Apes fan knows all to well about that himslef. This is realy something, so much hat tiping torwards the original POTA.

    P.S. Burton blew me away in his commentary, because one of the things he says, is that there's never a clear anwser on life's biggest questions. Because man spends more time contradicting himself than giving a clear anwser.That is so true!
     
    I like his way of thinking.

    Yeah, and it is silly.

    And the original would have been silly if Liberty had a chimp face too.

    I mean, how did the chimp face get there?

    Is it just a coincidence that Thade wore the same clothes as Lincoln and
    somebody decided to erect a monument in the same place with all the same
    Washington landmark coincidentally built by apes. What a crock!

    I'm still struggling to allow that to make sense.

    I guess if Thade landed in a post germ warfare earth and took over from
    there it could work but nothing much else in the film was explained, so I
    doubt they will explain this any better.

    The ending is silly (but I hope, as usual, that I am proven wrong).

      The Adam Rifkin and Oliver Stone versions just had the Statue of Liberty at the end. Our friend Chris Columbus ("Harry Potter") initiated the idea of ending with an ape face on the Statue. it apparently stuck. An early draft of the Burton version (I think post-Broyles) shows an ape filled Yankee Stadium and pulls back to show an ape face on the Statue of Liberty. I guess that later "evolved" into Ape Lincoln.

    Yep... it is an awesome trailer.  I'm not to fond of Hayden's acting though, so hopefully he is good through the whole movie and not like that.  I'm really anticipating this film.

    What was POTA 2001's opening day gross again?
     
    I believe it was 68. something.
     
    Has anyone seen the new SW trailer yet, Forbidden Love?
    It's at the official site now, sameone that will be shown during Harry Potter.
    This trailer is the best yet, and what a great storyline.
     
    Best.

    I'm trying to find a way to view either of the new Episode 2 trailers but I
    can't get quicktime 5 to download without it freezing on me. My computer is
    getting old. If anyone has a way to view the Ep 2 trailers without quicktime
    let me know. Thanks!

    I wish he could have shown a bit of that in the new movie.  But let's see what he has to say first hey Al?

    Man, you wouldn't believe the things he says. Including about those who have commented about the movie.
    I tell you, the man is a freaken genius, he has such an amazing way at looking at things. And the way he says it, it really does make you think.
     
    Not only is it great, but very educational, you (in general) can learn a lot from Tim Burton. Best Commentary ever.
     
    Best.
