These days reboot and prequel seem to be synonymous in Hollywood.

Because FOX is trying to have both ways. The remake still made a lot of money and there is an audience out there that has no memory of the original, just the remake. This way by not being specific they get both audiences and let the fans decide: it's a prequel of the original/it's a prequel of the remake, it's a candy/it's a gum, less filling/tastes great.

I'm hopeful too. I really want to see them get it right this time.

But as the song goes 'hope for the best, expect the worst'.

Yes I would because it is not "official" and you nor I know if it is close to the truth or not.

Agreed. It is just another version of POTA, just like their are multiple versions of Batman and Superman and other franchises.

Now this is interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_Apes

Very good point Jeff. It is bloggers and others on the net that have called it a prequel, not FOX.

Exactly, which proves the point I was making earlier. FOX is not specifying which film it is a prequel to because they want to have it both ways and let those who are fans of the original think it is a prequel to that while fans of the remake think it is a sequel to that film.

Having fired the Tommy Gun, I can say it is an excellent weapon and I fully recommend it for giant spider removal. My wife likes it so well she wants to buy one! Not available in my state at this time.

Yes, the running from dinosaurs scene was a bit long. I think they wanted to do everything they did in the original plus 50% so everything was larger. Kong did not fight a T-Rex he fought Three T-Rex.
