I'm not even sure how this runaway chimp bit will work in CONQUEST... Will they how him get killed by the police at night and then suddenly cut to the opening we already know, that of the apes being trained? I hope not! Hopefully it's cut together in a better way than that...

It'll be whatever it is, which reminds me....

I haven't thought to mention this before, but we should be prepared for a print that might not look all that great.  I really have to wonder if Fox has spent much time doing any "restoration" of this print that's apparently just been in storage all this time.  Fox found a complete "Roadshow" 70mm print of THE SAND PEBBLES, and included it on a two-disc DVD edition last year, BUT the print was very red and faded, and looked bad enough so that it wasn't included on the Blu-ray version.

So anyway, get ready for a print of the preview version of CONQUEST that isn't going to look as good as the "Theatrical Version," but hopefully I could be wrong.  We'll see.

No idea where that 16mm BENEATH NATO film is now...this was over 20
years ago.If was important to the BLU RAY, it could be gotten by the
producers, I'm sure.

The thought has occurred to me that -- other than 1.) Fox can't locate the 16mm original, or 2.) They do have the 16mm original but feel that for Blu-ray it would need extensive digital clean-up they don't want to pay for, or 3.) They don't know a thing about it, or 4.) Fox just doesn't care at all -- but also that the BENEATH NATO film uses samples of Jerry Goldsmith's score to the original, and so for Fox to put it out on one of their DVDs they'd have to pay for further clearance from his estate.  I'm sure that Goldsmith got fees from the use of the score in the BEHIND documentary and other things, I'm mean, I would imagine so.

I do believe I read somewhere that Goldsmith was pissed Fox sampled his music at the end of the release version of CONQUEST, and back in those days Fox didn't have to pay him anything.  I think I'm also read that Schaffner was pissed about BENEATH because the stuff used at the beginning, from PLANET that he directed, he didn't get a fee for either, but things have changed since those times.

I'm somehow under the impression that Conquest is going to be the original release with 8 minutes of deleted scenes added.

That includes Caesar's compromised speech in the end as originally released. Again, just 8 minutes of deleted scenes added.

 

There's really nothing in the description of the new Conquest that would suggest otherwise. So I'm really not expecting anything beyond that.

Al

No, I don't believe so.  Everything after Lisa says "No" was re-edited after the preview.  McDowall was brought back to post dub his final speech.  All that will be gone in the "Preview Version."  Now, there isn't 8 minutes of ending missing, probably more like only two minutes.

Again, if you read the novelization you'll get a better idea of what CONQUEST was in the "Preview Version," although there's stuff in the novelization I don't believe was in any of the earlier script drafts.

Either due to "collector" hoarding

A "collector" is by his, or her, very nature a hoarder. Instead, what you should be fixed on is envy or jealously on YOUR -- and I'm talking the generic YOU -- your part and how to "get over it."

I have collected a lot of POTA stuff, but I don't feel I HAVE to share it with other fans. If I do it's because I want to, and although I might feel a little envy that I don't have this item or that, let me tell you, there's a downside to having a lot of stuff -- you have to store it and carry it around with you whenever you move! It can be a pain in the ass. There's also all the money you spend on it that more often than not years later you wish you had more than the stuff that's in a box somewhere you don't even know where it is!

I never meant to personally attack anyone. I'm just s omeone who has
always loved this franchise & since I'm not going to be given access
to Fox's vaults, it just bothers me that there could be stuff out
there that (even after all this time) I may not have been able to
view. Either due to "collector" hoarding or because Fox hasn't
figured out how to make a buck off of it. No matter how you look at
it, Planet of the Apes is not the Jugernauat that it was when I was a
kid. Fewer & fewer people care about these films or their place in
Sci Fi/ make up history. It just seems that we should be shairing
photos, videos etc. with each other just for the sake that we all
still actually care. It had nothing to do with attacking anyone's
values. I bought 2 copies of your book (which I enjoyed) & would buy
a new book if you chose to do one but we all know that there
isn't "Star Wars" money to be made here. Sorry if it came across as a
personal attack Mr. Russo.

While yesterday was the Anniversary of the TV series, today is actually a more significant Anniversary in POTA history.

In the summer of 1973, Battle was released as the "Final Chapter". It seemed like the POTA franchise had run its course and was now over. But on September 14th, 1973 Planet was aired on TV for the first time.

At that time Cable was in its infancy, HBO was less than a year old, so for most this was the first time Planet was available outside of a movie theater. The ratings for the film were huge and at the time it was one of the most watched movies ever to air on television.

This led to the development of the TV series, the Marvel comics and all the other POTA merchandise that came out in the mid-70s. So while most don't remember or note this Anniversary it is a very important one in the history of the franchise.

Yeah, it had something like a 60% share of everyone that was watching TV that night. Huge. No show these days gets audience share like that and the networks don't even show movies anymore.

BTW, "Airport" beat it in the ratings that year.

Excellent! Woodrow was in many TV shows and a few films besides the APES work. Very well done.

This is my entry in a Munny show being held this weekend at the
Uberbot urban vinyl store in Orlando. It's been a lot of work but even
more fun, and I'm excited to be finished! I wanted to share it with
members of this forum, as I know the less well-known characters have
their followings too!

(Munnys are do-it-yourself monkey-shaped figures that are popular in
the urban vinyl/lowbrow scene.)

It's a tribute to both the "Planet of the Apes" franchise and one of
my favorite character actors, Woodrow Parfrey, whose credits include
roles in both the original movie and the first episode of the TV
series. The Apes are getting a little overdone on the lowbrow scene,
but I thought this would be a fun chance to do something with
lesser-known characters and at the same time offer a tribute to the
late Parfrey, whose work I've followed for years.

The title is "Munny `See,' Munny Deux," which is a play on the old
phrase that refers to his role as Maximus, the ape judge who plays the
"See No Evil" orangutan in the infamous courtroom shot, and his return
to play a second ("deux") ape, Veska, the local prefect who discovers
the spaceship in the first series episode.

I started with two of the smaller-size Munnys. The heads are sculpted
onto the Munny heads from air-drying clay that I cut into pieces where
the natural cracks formed as it was drying and shrinking onto the
Munny heads. When the pieces dried, I glued them back onto the heads
and filled in the gaps with wood filler, then primed and painted them.
I added the coat and smock flaps on the bodies with the wood filler,
then primed and painted those. I used spray acrylic sealer on all of
it, then used a matting spray to kill the gloss.

Maximus' coat trim and Veska's eyepatch and cowl are cut from leather
and glued in place. The mirror was a happy accident; I formed it from
clay and then primed and painted it, but I didn't like the color or
effect so I peeled it off and found that the surface had a
stone-washed look to it that fit better with the Apes theme. The photo
Veska is holding is wood with a decoupaged color copy, which is also
the refection in the mirror (I know it's not backwards, but I didn't
like it flopped and took a slight liberty there.) The portrait itself
is a DVD screen capture embellished in Photoshop, which included
moving the pupils to make him look "into the camera" to suggest a
publicity photo. I went back and forth regarding how to show the
connection to Parfrey, and I settled on having Veska hold an inscribed
photo to both of them and Maximus hold a mirror. At first I was only
going to set a photo between them, but the Munny hands just has to be
holding something…it looked unfinished otherwise.

The base is a piece of Styrofoam I sculpted and sprayed with that
paint that leaves a faux-rock texture and then enhanced with acrylic.
(I hollowed out the bottom and stuffed it with little magnets to give
it some weight.) It's glued onto a store-bought base that's painted
with acrylics, with a cut sheet of cork on the bottom, and the
"plaque" is sculpted from a wood panel and painted, also with
acrylics. I don't work in 3-D much, and this was the first time I've
done anything like this with all these materials, so there was a lot
of trial and error, especially with types of glue. On everything, I
ended up using a combination of wood glue and superglue that dried
quickly and gave very few problems.

I dropped it off at Uberbot last night…just wanted to share!
