More than likely FOX is also preparing a standard DVD release of POTA along side the Blu one, and it will have the galleries, featurettes, and whatever else. 

I'm not so sure about that.  Fox doesn't seem to be doing that with anything else they've released on Blu-ray so far.  Of course, the standard DVD releases of recent Blu-ray editions of PATTON, THE SAND PEBBLES, etc., were all previously released.  However, the forthcoming BATMAN - THE MOVIE is an upgrade of the standard DVD released years ago, and has new extras beside the upgraded transfer.  Fox having put out the "Head" and Legacy editions of APES only three years ago, and they're still on store shelves, I doubt there will be anything but a Blu-ray edition -- which I think is now scheduled for November.  Also, Fox has to promote the format.  How can they do that if the release standard versions too?

OK.  I just ordered myself two of the Burke heads, one painted, one unpainted, and another head so that I could get a fourth one free. 

 

The Burke/Virdon outfits are coming along, but I ran out of fabric for Virdon's shirt.  The original material I found at a secondhand store was actually just the sleeve part of a girls shirt, so there was very little fabric.  I am anxiously waiting for the fabric store to open their doors (they are opening their new fabric store July 11) so that I could purchase the correct material and dye it the appropriate color.

Yes.  I am originally from San Jose, CA.  The film was titled "Journey to the Planet of the Apes" though I don't believe I ever added the title overlay.
 
Shooting locations were around Half Moon Bay (Daryl P and Dan K cast as astronaut survivors of an ocean crash in Forbidden Zone swimming into shore), Scotts Valley sand pits and walls (walking across the Forbidden Zone), Castle Rock state park near Big Basin in Santa Cruz mountain range (astronauts finding vegetation and other wild humans, the Ape hunt and cave dig exterior to interior scene), Saratoga creek bed bridge tunnel near Prospect High School in Saratoga (interior of cave dig with concrete walled ruins of human city) wooded grounds near West Valley College (ape hunt), Cupertino (a large sunbaked and dry reservour used for more Forbidden Zone scenes) and concrete creek/lake bed and bridge on Westmont Ave near Westmont High School (used as part of Ape City and holding area / prison for humans) and some footage I made from photographs of the High Uintas rocky mountains around Hayden's Peak (14,000 feet) and rock canyon walls along the Green River that I had taken the year before while in Utah.  Lake Powell -- where original POTA and remake were shot -- would have been a great place to film had I had the time and money to travel to Utah for filming.  If I had finished I was to have the astronauts rescued by other arriving astronauts with M-16 rifles (was filmed in that dry reservour) and return to Earth.  The ending was never filmed.  It would have ended the same as the original novel with them arriving centuries later due to theory of relativity (book was 600 years I believe) and being greeted by a gorilla wearing a modern police uniform.  It would have been a similar ending as Tim Burton's film but without Lincoln Memorial... just the airport/spaceport location from the book. 
 
Sadly, all that remains of the film reels are the ocean scenes at Half Moon Bay, Scotts Valley, Castle Rock and West Valley College wooded grounds.  Some small pieces cut from the other scenes are short snippets I saved on a small 50' reel.  The ending scene leading up to the return to earth and the encounter with Dr Zaius and astronaut where he proves his intelligence by diagramming an Icasules triangal (like he did in the book) and much of the prison yard scene and cave dig with the human doll (had great natural lighting) are nowhere to be found.  This was all stored in boxes in my home before I was divorced.  I think my ex-wife tossed most of everything she couldn't sell on EBay into a dumpster right before we sold the home.  These films included irreplacable 8mm and Super 8mm films of my parents and siblings when we were children.  They had been entrusted to me to convert to video.  Also related to POTA, I had every issue of the Planet of the Apes Marvel comic magazine, collector dolls, plastic styrene model kits and other POTA and Star Trek, Star Wars and other SciFi merchandise.  She doesn't "know" what happened to all of these.  What a shameful loss. 
 
I also sold the full face masks at D & C Hobby in San Jose around that same year on commission as they were displayed on the window of the shop.  I wore the costumes to some Halloween parties for a few years.  I'm not sure whatever happened to the costumes, masks, plaster ape masks molds and other ape props.  Daryl P later moved to Los Angeles and Dan K moved to Santa Cruz.   
 
Why do you ask?  Might I know you or perhaps you know one of the cast or crew from the film?  :)

I made a Planet of the Apes movie using Super-8 film back around 1976 with some college and high school friends.  We never finished it; but I got out the old projector and showed the reel of film I have left (my ex never gave me the other reels) and he thought it was pretty good (other than the fact it was silent). 
 
The costuming was the hardest part of the film.  I created the plaster molds for the latex masks (chimp, orangutan and gorilla) using clay.  I had full face masks for the background apes and partial face masks for the main characters.  I didn't figure out how to do latex foam; so they were all latex rubber.  The full face masks just had long black, brown or orange fake fur.  The other apes with the appliances wore wigs I had bought from second hand stores.  The hands had gloves made from nylons, with no fingers, and sewn on wig hair.
 
I agree that the hardest costumes to make were the gorillas uniforms because each of the horizontal ribs had to be sewn with a string for the raised line and then folded over and sewn along the edge onto the vest.  This was no easy task using vinyl (I used brown fake leather).  The snaps on the ammo belts were made from plaster molds and the boxes on the belt were made of black painted wood.  The boots were really just vinyl cuffs worn over brown shoes.  I didn't bother with the toed boots or shoes.  So I was impressed by the shoes in the photographs of the costume in this thread.  The gloves were made by hand too and had the same ribbing as the vests.  The pants and sleeves were made from brown cloth. 
 
The chimp and orangutan suits were not as difficult as the gorilla to make.  Though I never knew about the padding in the original costumes.  The "leather" collars on the chimp and orangutan suits were somewhat difficult too.  Most didn't have more than the darts extending around the chimp's neck because the relief symbols were a pain to sew.  Especially Dr Zais's collar. 
 
The rifles were made from 2x4 pine studs and cut to the ape rifle shape using a jigsaw.  The barrels were made from small diameter pipe. 
 
Some day I'll have to have what film I have left transferred to digital video.  It is now old and has brown spots; so I probably would need to be cleaned professionally first and some of the splices would need to be redone as some are broken. 
 
It was a lot of fun making the movie back then though my family all thought I was way too nerdy.  My brother still teases me about making "monkey movies".  lol.

How good is good enough is of course entirely subjective and up to the
viewer. If you have an HD TV and a Blue ray player IMHO the leap in
quality (Between Blue Ray and DVD) is astonishing! Just as big as the

I LOVE the new BSG, and though the scene people are refering to didnt go 100% to POTA, it was definately a tip of the hat. And I dont think it's the finale-because after the scene in question it says theres still more to come.

Robert,

In the very early days of DVD DISNEY and FOX wanted the new format to go a different way - although a DVD disc, but it was a rental/pay for disc.  In other words when you went to the store you would pay a different amount depending on if you were purchasing the disc or renting.  The disc would be "unlocked' depending on what you paid allowing you to play it whenever you wanted for only for a given time in which the player wouldn't accept it.  The player itself needed to be connected to a phone line for Internet connection which would connect the player to a data base keeping track of what was put into it.  Also, if you "purchased' a given disc you could play it on any other machine since it would locked into your players ID number.  Updates and other features were hoped for for each player via the net as well.

FOX and Disney were so paranoid over their film's made available in DVD's higher quality they voted for the Divix format to aid in stopping, or stalling piracy.  In the end of course standard DVD won out.

Maybe like Zaius, the assumed that Taylor came from a tribe of humans living somewhere beyond the Forbidden Zone.

Good point. The mutants go to a lot of trouble to capture Taylor but leave Nova behind. So they must have realized that he was different than other surface humans.

From SFX...

"Wanted scriptwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas have written a
script for Sony called Creatures Great and Small, a Jurassic
Park-style fantasy set in a future world where animals rule and humans
are in a minority. Wonder if it ends with someone discovering a
half-buried Statue of Liberty?"

In that case, you may enjoy this.  I pasted it together from the 25th anniversary DVD....
