There's a new card set on Hunter's site featuring new paintings from Graham Hill. Graham approached me a few months ago and told me he wanted to do a series of paintings of characters from the movies as well as the TV series and asked me to fit them into Topps-style trading card frames so they could be displayed and printed as a series of cards. Every few weeks he finished a painting and I got a new file. The last one was finished just over a week ago, so now the set is complete and everyone can see these fantastic paintings.

 

All nine card images are available for viewing. The card fronts can be downloaded in hi-res either individually or as a 9-card grid with a separate puzzle back file also available for printing your own set of cards.

The guy is a hack.

Burton's problem is he's a visual artist.  He knows nothing about story structure and character development, and he himself has said he doesn't know whether a script is good or bad.

All I know is that even Burton doesn't mention POTA2001 anymore.

Apparently the 'Ari in see-through costume emerging out of the sea' was
also a very, very late cut, which they replaced with Leo escaping from
his pod, sadly.I just had the chilling thought that maybe I'm the only
one who has ever read the junior novels for Burton's Apes.Has anyone
else read them? Seriously, the junior novels are excellent.They are the
best bit of Burton's Apes and have a classic feel.John, Scrolls.

Ok...Here's a few scans from the Amsco Adventure
set....
The player pieces....I am missing the humans......
and Icarus and instructions......The top pic and the
bottom pic are the opposite sides of the same
piece......so glue them together if you want to make
your own....
the rest of the set is very cool as described below by
mark.....you put it all together then stand it up on
the bottom of the box...the "set" pieces are too big
to scan but maybe I can do a few if anybody
wants.....or maybe the whole instruction sheet?

Does make you wonder why, if he had such a feel for the originals, Tim
Burton decided to deviate so wildly from Classic Apes.Ari had the
potential to be a really interesting and deep character(in the junior
novels, she is an excellent character!). Maybe Burton needed more of a
restraining hand on his ideas? John, Scrolls.

This is my personal opinion but the problem with the remake was Burton.

The guy is a hack. He's been lucky in the past that he's had good
screenplays & post-editing to fall back on. On POTA he didn't so it
exposed him for the hack that he is.

The original POTA had Schaffner directing. He wasn't considered an
auteur like Burton. He was just a good director. Nor was Schaffner a
genre director. The closest he ever came to SF again was 'The Boys from
Brazil'.

That's what POTA needs to be revitalized, not an auteur, not some SF hack, just another good director like Schaffner.

  The only other place I've seen it is a music credit ( song or something called "Malaguena") at the end of "Born on the 4rth of July". For some reason when I saw that mind rewound to that name in the Ape comic books. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. - - - Jeff

So, I am wondering how many here support ape rights.

From the Great Ape Project:

"The idea is founded upon undeniable scientific proof that non-human
great apes share more than genetically similar DNA with their human
counterparts. They enjoy a rich emotional and cultural existence in
which they experience emotions such as fear, anxiety and happiness.
They share the intellectual capacity to create and use tools, learn
and teach other languages. They remember their past and plan for
their future. It is in recognition of these and other morally
significant qualities that the Great Ape Project was founded. The
Great Ape Project seeks to end the unconscionable treatment of our
nearest living relatives by obtaining for non-human great apes the
fundamental moral and legal protections of the right to life, the
freedom from arbitrary deprivation of liberty, and protection from
torture."

About the Great Ape Project:

What are your thoughts?

How long, then, before Apes do in fact rule the planet?

In one of the interviews with Danny Elfman, he said he asked Burton why he wanted to do POTA and he said he was interested in how apes move. He's also talked about what an icon Heston is.

I agree, the main problem with POTA2001 is Burton. If nothing else he could've said, "You want to use my name to promote this, we're going to do it right". Burton's so famous it's not like he'd have trouble finding another gig. But I also have to fault Fox, given the poor quality of their other recent "summer movies". They just don't get it. Yeah, they can run up an opening weekend with a name and exciting trailers but to be successful they need a good movie. After the opening weekend it will or die based on the movie. - - - Jeff

Wake up and smell the monkey poop, everybody!

Fox simply cashed-in on APES nostalgia by doing a "re-imagining," and everyone involved in its making -- including "Dick" Zanuck -- was also simply cashing in.  A lot of people made a lot of money selling something that no one involved really cared about -- including "Dick" Zanuck!

I am wondering. Is it possible to test the IQ of a chimp? Or
gorilla? Or orangutan? Does anyone here know whether this has been
done and, if so, what is the IQ range of the other great ape species?

Helen

It's a nice name, anyway--really right for the character.I know a lot
of fans dismiss the comics and trot out the 'brains in jars' line, but
I'd feel that a massive chunk of my Apes mythos was missing if you took
away these comics sagas.Terror, over two years and several
chapters,really establishes a recurring set of solid characters--
Gunpowder Julius, Steely Dan,Lightsmith, Brutus, Jason, Alexander,
Malaguena and gives us landscapes like the Forbidden Zone and the
Psychedrome,the Northlands and Brutus' jungle camp.I love the comics
and I can recommend dipping into them again--people might just be
surprised at how good they are.John, Scrolls.
