Hi Jessica! It's nice to have a chance to meet you. We had a hard
time deciding whether or not to wear the costumes, mostly because of
the food. We were going to go from plate to plate and pinch things
from the others, but we didn't think that would be sanitary. (They
are humans, after all.)

We ate French fries and drank from straws. Then we watched each other
to see that there weren't grease marks and spills on the faces.

One day I would LOVE to have real appliances with glue and latex and
the whole deal. But I was just glad for the chance to dress up as
Apes once again and go out on the town.

It's a riot! I hope you get the chance.

Helen

Was there a big reaction when Cornelius says they won't need weapons -
and Heston responds- "I'm glad to hear it. I want one anyway!"
That usually gets the biggest response in the screenings I've seen
here, obviously because of Chuck & the NRA.

That line and when Dodge and Landon are nude, kneeling to see the
human footprint, and Taylor is slow to kneel with them. Those two
bits got the biggest response, in 68 I doubt the crowd reactions were
the same....

under the mask. Some, without moving the mouth much, showed anger or
interest and it came through the mask.

Actually, there were a couple places where Roddy wasn't as
demonstrative, and I didn't think he did as well. The scene in his
(or was it Zira's) home, for example. I thought his voice was muffled
and his facial movements weren't as believable. I thought it sounded
like he was having a little trouble with his face.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the orangutans had more trouble
working the faces than the other species. I wasn't as impressed with
their acting. Maybe the faces were harder to work with?

I agree with you. I don't think they should have used the quotes from the original movie ("stinking paws"/"damn them all to hell", etc.). If it had been named differently, and not tried to "connect" with the original, I feel it would have been better accepted as a film on it's own merit.

 

*** I agree with you here. Had they kept the filming name of "The Visitor" and gave a nod to the Boulle by saying something along the lines of "based on a concept by Pierre Boulle" or something like thta rather than setting there marketing it straight forward as an APES film, it may have had better acceptance as you said. BUT, cheap name recogonition is what they went for, conning the public by using the title and as I mentioned, trying to add credibility to it by getting Heston and Harrison to appear. (As well as acting "sly" getting some of the paraphrased original dialog in there to say, "See, we;re fans. We're giving a nod to the original", which of course was bullsh*t.) ***

 

 

They were originally going to do a true remake, with Governor Ahhnold as Taylor.

 

*** Where or when did you hear this? Any time I've ever heard of Schwazenegger being connected to it, it was called RETURN OF THE APES or something like that and in that one, I believe Oliver Stone was going to direct it. If i remember correctly, the plot involved babies being born dead in "our time" so to speak, so thay actually were going to go back in time to try to see what is causing this now and they were to find the ape dominated world.

In my opinion, Roddy McDowall was never guilty of over acting,
certainly not in his Apes roles.I find the suggestion
astonishing.Roddy McDowall gave a series of nuanced and well judged
performances that , in turn, gave us a series of characters that
still resonate today.How Kim Hunter's performance in ,say, Escape,
can be used as a contrast to Roddy's 'over acting' frankly beggars
belief. John, Scrolls.

What about the Chimpette that just half/assed chucks the fruit at Chuck.  It must have been after about a dozen takes.  To say she throws like a girl would be a compliment.  Three year olds throw better.

There are certain line like those that can be expected to get a response. What I found interesting was some of the other lines that the audience responded to such Taylor saying, "She was to be the new Eve, with our hot and eager help of course", or Lucius saying, "What did you expect, an Ape's new suit".

I only purchased 1/4 of a yard of the fabrics because it was only for my Mego Zira.  This costume for the Sideshow is just the leftovers of that old project. 

Your outfit came out very well I think!  I am always on the lookout for that perfect chimp green in preparation for the outfit I will make myself someday.

It think the gorilla and orangutan suits were duck. (That's what we
