Did anyone read the original?  The ending was "Americanized" from the French novel.  It could've been Earth, it could've been a twin to Earth, Thade could've gone back in time...

What I didn't like about the ending to the 2001 remake was the statue
of General Thade in the Jefferson Memorial. That didn't make sense
to me, given that Thade and the other apes were on a totally
different planet from Earth. At least, that's the impression I got.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Subject: [pota] Pensioning Fox (was: Blu-Ray)

I sent a pretty detailed letter to someone at Fox recently listing the rarities that are out there that have yet to be officially released (i.e. the BENEATH NATO preview, the "That's Hollywood" episode covering all five films), suggestion for new commentary tracks by surviving cast & crew members, and some other odds and ends should there be 40th Anniversary Editions, Blu-Ray versions, etc. I also suggested that with future rereleases, any bonus material should be released with the respective film. For example, Don Taylor directing ESCAPE and J. Lee Thompson directing CONQUEST should be on ESCAPE and CONQUEST respectively, not PLANET. He responded pretty quickly and said that he was impressed with the information and would forward it to the people who would handle such things.

 

From there, I don't know what the next best step would be. E-mails to Fox Home video, another online petition like what was done for the extended BATTLE, or another approach altogether. It'd be easy enough to put together a detailed form letter and post it in the files section for everyone to cut & paste. Maybe

sending both e-mails and regular letters might help. Or these plus a petition.

 

What does everyone think?

"As for a "way to lobby Fox".... I think letters work best, especially
if you send several, but I guess emails and on-line petitions do
something too. I don't think there's a chance of separate special
editions of each of the sequels. The best you can hope for is a box
set of all five films with a new set of featurettes and perhaps
commentary tracks for each film. Personally, I'd rather hope for a new
40th Anniversary special edition of the classic original, then worry
about the sequels later."

Those were on the Escape and Conquest DVDs in the Legacy box set.

I don't think I mentioned this before but Fox will be releasing
Schaffner's PATTON on Blu-ray in June.

If the economy doesn't tank, the Blu-ray format takes off (not that the
format war is over and I correctly predicted the winner -- Eat that
Veetus!), and Fox starts opening the gates to the library, I expect to
see at least PLANET on Blu-ray by the end of the year, or the first
half of 2009.

Now, fight like apes!

Back when the film came out I remember a thread (on this group, I believe) about Roeper saying that the remake was better than the original. Watching that clip, you could almost see him reading off of the Fox written cue cards (more effort than was put into the script, that's for sure) while making the numerous stupid statements that he did.

 

And for the record, JP III was FAR more entertaining than Burton's (then) latest cinematic abomination. Hell, I'd sooner read APE CITY again before sittign through another viewing of POTA2001.

Hi, Rory,



In truth, one reason the prequel novels (The Fall and Colony) are

great is that they barely even involve the film. They pick up with...



SPOLIER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HASN"T READ THEM



...the crash of the Oberon, 3,000 years before the film, and explain

how that crew survived. The characters are far better written than

those on film, and the plot keeps the book moving along at a brisk

pace. The planet the station crashes on is inhabited by two

extremely dangerous predator species, each of which finds humans and

apes tasty, so the humans genetically breed the apes to be smarter

and stronger, in an effort to create a fighting force able to defeat

the creatures. However, the apes come to see their lot in life--bred

to fight and die so humanity can survive--as unfair. At the core of

the books is Semos, the ape savior mentioned in the film (and an

anagram of Moses), who is raised by a human woman with a son the same

age. His name is David. The two brothers are inseparably close, so

when they get older and Semos sees the reality of the apes'

existence, he and David find themselves on opposite sides of the

conflict. I highly recommend both books, the central themes of which

are familial betrayal and racism/genocide.



There are two others as well (Force and Resistance), that are also

good reads, though those two might be less to your liking since they

are more directly conencted to the film. Those novels (written on a

young-adult level) take place several years before the film, when

Attar is a cadet, Ari is a teenager who gets into a lot of trouble,

Daena is being trained to be the future leader of her people, and

Thade is rising up through the ranks. I liked them, though being Y/A

books, they're not quite the same as The Fall and Colony.

Any Dark Shadows fans on here? I ask because as a big fan of Batman in comics(especially after Frank Miller's version) and the original POTA, I was treated to Tim Burton's "re-imaginations" of each. Now Johnny Depp will apparently do a big screen version of DS and I am worried that Burton will get the directorial nod.

Hi Mario !  I used to watch DS regularly on Sci-fi and I rented a volume from Netflix to catch up on a sequence I never saw all the way through.  I find a need to want to watch it every once in awhile.  There are some DS groups on here but I never really joined any.  Have you read the novelizations by Lara Parker ?  Her second one was excellent.

I like werewolves and vampires and all things monster, but I never got
into DS. It always looked cheap to me, even when I first saw it in '66
when it was on ABC. I guess it's because soap operas are shot on video
and are mostly just talk, talk, talk. I did like the opening credits
to DS, and the first movie they did was OK.

Here is a expert from Charlton Heston's book 'The Actor's Life'. This entry in his journal was made 40 years ago today after a test screening of PLANET OF THE APES:

January 30. The APES running tonight was successful. The film comes off very well, including the black comment. I was a little disappointed in my own performance. There didn't seem to be enough weight to it, somehow. Some of it was cut, of course, but I still felt let down. All the talk afterward was good, but you can discount most of that.

[This seems to have been my opinion when I first saw APES, thouh I'm very proud of the film now. I guess I expected a little more.You always expect a little more.]

Anyone who wants to buy the book can find it through Amazon.com.

Thanks to John Roche and Rory Montieth for their help on this.
