The only significant thing that happened was the five films getting released in Hi-Fi on Playhouse Video. Not much to hang your hat on. <<<.html

Advetisers buy now mainly based on the ratings of the audience watching a program live, not on those watching it later on DVR or Tivo. And single shot ads are more the exception instead of the rule, always have been. TV stations are very reluctant to accept such static ads because they are afraid the viewer might get bored with staring at a single shot for 30 seconds and will change the channel. Any way you slice it a TV station is not going to revive the 4:30 movie when the majority (of what is to begin with is a potential audience) will be watching it via Tivo or DVR. It is just not profitable for them.

AMC operates on a whole different pardigm than WABC.

• They are national and have a far larger potential audience than a single local station. Thus a movie that say gets a 1 rating nationally on AMC will be seen my many more people that a movie that gets a 1 rating in the New York market on WABC. Advertising is sold on a Cost per Thousand viewers basis so the CPM for a 1 rating nationally is much lower than the CPM of a 1 rating locally. Since New York is about 6% of the U.S. a movie airing on WABC would have to get a 17 rating to match the number of viewers (and CPM) of a movie getting a 1 rating nationally on AMC.
• AMC is in the business of running old movies and their cost stucture is based on that while WABC is local station has a different cost structure and is not going to pre-empt Orpah for a month for a novelty. 
• While AMC now insert commercials films are not highly edited to fit into a 90 minute time slot.

And it is not semantical minutia or overthinking as you contend, it is in fact how I have made my living for the past 20 years working in advertising; by analyzing what is the potential audience based on viewing trends, demographics of a daypart, etc. so I can make well thoughtout recommendations to clients.

But getting back to your original assertion that a revival of the 4:30 Movie would get a big rating, if that were true WABC would have done it long ago.

<http://chud.com/articles/articles/22077/1/SCOTT-FRANK-ESCAPES-THE-PLANET-OF-THE-APES/Page1.html">

By Devin Faraci


A year ago we told you that Scott Frank was writing and directing a movie that would be essentially a ground-up reimagining of Conquest of the Planet Of the Apes; called Caesar it would be about a genetically altered simian that led an ape revolution. Click here to read that initial report.

And that was the last we heard of it.

Until now. It turns out that Frank has left the project and the future of Caesar remains up in the air at Fox; my guess is that the project goes back on the shelf for the time being. Or rather that it's been on the shelf; my sources indicate that Frank has been off the movie for a little while now.

So what killed Caesar? Exactly what you'd expect from Fox: it was too expensive and seen as too dark. I'm not sure what other tone they were expecting from a movie about the end of humanity; maybe something with more uplift. I haven't read Frank's draft, but I'm guessing the film might have been too cerebral for the studio as well; Frank's a smart writer, and Fox makes movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. You can see how this wasn't always a good fit.

I'm kind of bummed. Frank's take on the material sounded unique and different enough that it wouldn't have been a shameless remake of what came before. I'm always for smart, thought-provoking scifi, and that's what this was shaping up to be. Here's hoping the Planet of the Apes IP manages to stay dormant for the rest of the current regime. Maybe whoever comes next will understand that the original series was dark and daring and smart and will be interested in going that way again.

As the writer of the CHUD article pointed out, we may have to wait until a new regime at FOX. I would rather wait and see a POTA film done right than get another piece of crap like the 2001 remake.

Wow!! The second article--the one entitled Scan1.jpg--they mentioned that the appliance cost $125 per set. That's how much Apemania charges for an unpainted appliance!! And I used to think that was expensive, but not after seeing this article.

Happy Friday, everyone. Whoot!

The only way I would even see a new Apes film is if they looked like the PLANET OF THE APES that we all know from the 70's. The look is the best thing about the films to me.The original makeup is Planet of the Apes.
So I am glad this director bailed because he was going to make Ceasar look a regular Monkey.
To me that is not Planet of the Apes.

I totally agree.  I don't care how far Digital Capture has become it still looks and is CGI.  I  don't find watching someone playing a video game entertaining.  If I want to play a game I like hold the control stick - especially hack like Cameron.  He's only using technology first used for the film THE MUMMY.  Luck him it's progressed, as it should, it's still something he DIDN'T invent.  The man can only made movies with a lot of money.  True talent doesn't flies on its own, not cheap gimmicks like 3D..  As bad as the Burton vision of APES was it certainly isn't a prospect for Cameron.  The concept requires only the make-up the rest is character driven stories with intelligent dialog - not techno babble Cameron is used to. No, if another APE film were to be made a simpler director would be needed, one who has conquered dramas and even classic stories, even one based on a play or book - not a person dependent on digital or special effects.  - Scott B. --- On Sat, 1/9/10, Farrow <theskulpter@...> wrote: From: Farrow <theskulpter@...> Subject: [pota] Re: SCOTT FRANK ESCAPES THE PLANET OF THE APES To: pota@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, January 9, 2010, 2:57 AM   The only way I would even see a new Apes film is if they looked like the PLANET OF THE APES that we all know from the 70's.

hello and i returned to this forum with a new topic seeing how the other one crashed as did the ship in the initial film.i luv pota and ok im actually a huge fan of star wars and star trek too.alot more than apes.but dont rule me out just yet folks as ive a revelation to share.it may be met with opposition but let me say it.trust me im not at the wrong forum seeing since im a huge fan of the classic adventures.no one can take that away from me as ill safeguard that freedom of mine.but needless to say i was reading comments about something i said.i said there were millions of pota fans.i know thats a gross exxageration but theres more than 1000s.you guys arent the only apers as there everywhere.ok maybe many arent as into pota as star trek or bsg or buck rogers-more faves of mine but who cares.its got more than a simple cult following.ill encourage anyone to prove me wrong but if they do its trivial.if i like it and everyone i know seems to like it then do the math.10xs 10 is 100.but 100 xs 10 is 1k and 100 xs 100 is 10k but wheres this pyramiding going youll ask?well its a popular hit and whats not to like about simians ruling in the chain of commands evolutionary ladder.theyre equipped with rifles,speech,and ban together.if you go beyond the horizon youll see perhaps theres many fans but few to come forward as we do here.lastly as i can def talk i hope we all had a good new year.i honestly didnt but oh well it happens each year at my residence.

i like the kiss between zira and taylor but really i like many other famous moments.the scarecrows were done primitively but worked.the costumes were ominously black with even more sinister forces behind them.the few apes who were compassionate to the plight of taylor and his crew now reduced to just him.he made it out after facing the tribunal and an accusing zaius.he befriended corneilius and his wife.they took a huge risk of aiding and abetting the astronaut.i guess at first glance the planet seemed to be ripe with fruit and subserviant dwellers at there disposal one might think.and soon that dark cloud comes rolling in with the horn.a paradise for some but not for others.i did like the revolt in the 3rd film battle for the pota and the conformity of these apes was astonishing.trained like domesticate dogs but acting as humans.ricardo or khan as i call him was very appealing in his role.a terriffic actor folks and a good man they say.luv his fantasy isle sidekick saying boss-the plane.hillarious was herve on the bonds calling bond a bully after he tried to bump him off.the fight was well deserved and provoking on the side of the apes.they were fed up with the fascist dictatorship regime of the govt.its much the same today and please dear apers,dont reelect obama.he got here in a huge mess and has made it progressively worse and more worser day by day i think.the way theyd twitch there noses was cute il say in closing.uv those appliances too and booth coleman was awesome in his role,eddy

I had a feeling this wasn't going to happen  when we didn't hear anymore on the new ape movie.  Besides, I would rather see a new ape movie or a continuation from the original series. I had my doubts about this movie being made.

Kevin

I liked the film as its the best thing next to sliced bananas. Ok im wrong as maybe it isnt. But Tim aka,Im trying hard to be a better director but fell short in 2001 Burton is fuly capable of a better job i think. Maybe finish the series why dont he? Maybe a whole different POTA film with the theme in mind.

too bad only 14 of the 27 episodes were ever crafted onto film.anyone know where i can watch them for free?i know there for sale affordably but meanwhile ill ask please.good and simple storylines and good morals to be had.like bonanza and gunsmoke with gorillas instead of cowboys.

Yeah i agree but better than nothing guy i think. Why not have 2 categories,1 for advanced potas and another geared towards the not so smart apes.

I tend to agree. After the original annoucement last year there has been nothing but silence about the project.

I have to say that from what I had read I wasn't that happy with Scott Frank's approach. While interesting it just didn't sound like POTA to me.

Thanks for the compliment Edward and welcome to the group.

Tell us more about yourself. Where are you from and how did you first become a POTA fan?

When I read that the article said the movie was too dark, when I saw that it was the kiss of death. Fox wasn't going to do the movie in the first place and this was their
reason not to do it.  The original Conquest was way too dark, and the article said that Ceasar was too dark!  Are they kidding, this didn't stop them before.
