Yeah, im just trying to think positive. So far the track record on sequels, reboots, reimaginings, regurgetations, whatever, have not been great, but I will hope for the best. Imagine if its really a very good film. John M.

Prequel can just mean it's before the apes take over. Like "Batman Begins" is a prequel, a prequel to nothing. Lithgow's comment that "it's better than the genre deserves" suggests he hasn't seen the original.

Yeah. I wasn't even disappointed when Marky Mark was cast because he'd done some great movies ("Boogie Nights", "Basketball Diaries", "Three Kings"). At the time I thought that casting was "edgy". Too bad Burton hadn't already started casting Johnny Depp in every movie.
FYI: on the special edition of the "Boogie Nights" DVD there's a music video called "Try" with Philip Seymour Hoffman wearing a POTA T-shirt. Couldn't find it on youtube.

Everyone hopes that is is a good film but many got their hopes up 10 years ago and were bitterly disappointed.

If they do it right the reason the apes evolve can be full of irony and pathos. Someone trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's instead unlocks Pandora's box. Trying to do good brings about the fall of Mankind. That can be much more powerful than the disease or evolution reasons. As with the nuclear war angle, we brought it on ourselves.

The idea of a disease contributing to the evolution of the apes can spark the imagination. Many questions can be raised like why would the disease affect the intelligence of primates yet kill off domestic pets. Would monkeys and humans also have increased intelligence etc? There is a potential for quite a few stories here. Elaine

James Franco took a break from filming "Rise of the Apes" (or maybe he's done with his scenes) to appear at the Telluride Film Festival for his movie "127 Hours". It's getting some good reviews and sounds like an intense movie. Again I say we may have an Oscar nominee headlining "Apes".

Good point Jeff. Batman Begins can be called a prequel but it is not meant to be a literal prequel to either the Adam West or Michael Keaton versions of Batman. It is more of a reboot.

That James Franco movie "127 Hours" was actually shot where the events took place, in Blue John Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. That's next to Glen Canyon and Lake Powell where the Forbidden Zone was filmed for POTA. So if the topography looks familiar that's why.

I'll always consider POTA and "2001" blood brothers, coming as they did a little more than a month apart in 1968 and both changing the science-fiction landscape (though some "2001" fans might sniff at POTA and some POTA fans might yawn at "2001"). Reportedly there's a new box set of Stanley Kubrick movies being worked on, including a new edition of "2001". Here's a preview at FX legend Douglas Trumbull's website of a new documentary he's doing about the movie, "2001: Beyond the Infinite". And holy macaroni, check out some of the other videos he's got there. Thanks to the Digital Bits.

Well, I consider the current Blu-ray for 2001 better and much more satisfying than the one for PLANET OF THE APES.  It's actually my favorite Blu-ray.  I just wish Fox Home Entertainment would give PLANET the 2001 treatment.

 

I already have several Kubrick films on Blu-ray, so I'm not too thrilled with the prospect of buying them again, but that documentary on 2001 they're working on looks fantastic and will be a must have.

Imdb lists Conrad Buff and Mark Goldblatt as the editors of the ape opus. Both have extensive James Cameron credits, so they know how to chop out the boring character stuff and get to the action. ; )
I guess that means the composer gets announced next. John Williams, Howard Shore, Michael Giacchino or Bear McCreary. Accept no substitute.

Antheria is a new startup sci-fi con in L.A. The first
run of this con starts this October 1st and concludes on the

What do you think?

With the talk of Music next, here are two I think would be great. Chritopher Young and Marco Beltrami. Look up their scores or better yet listen to them they are great(Mostly Horror though) John M.

I don't see the composer getting announced until next February at the earliest.  By that time a rough cut should be ready with 75% of the CGI work done -- hopefully.  I said before I wouldn't be surprised if the release date gets pushed back.  Fox can't afford a flop with this, it'll have to look as good as possible.

I have just recently discovered Planet Of The Apes! (I was born in 100,000BC but fell into the ice, I was only just thawed out earlier this year)

My wife had seen the first film on Tv many years ago and so thought I would like it so got me the complete set for my birthday. This one here:
http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/95339...t/Product.html"

I have now watched all the fims and loved them, but the first was particularly good. I have since watched the Tim Burton remake but didn't like it as much. Next I will try the TV series, being a completist

I have also recently purchsed this:
http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/15341...n/Product.html"
for £1.50 on ebay as it had a DTS soundtrack and two audio commentaries. The commentaries were very poor though, we Who fans are spoiled with the commentaries on our DVDs.

Anyway, I figured the Apes fans on here would know what's what with my DVDs. I have heard that some of the later movies were edited and that other versions with alternative endings exist. What versions do I have on my DVDs and which DVDs contain the alternate versions (Which some fans seem to really rate)? Can someone give me a breakdown of what I have and what to look out for?
Also, what's the quality of the prints and sound on the Blu-Rays? Play.com have all the movies on Blu-Ray but for £60!, don't think I will be getting that but might be tempted to have a look at the Blu-Ray of the first movie as I loved it so much.

Welcome to the group Andrew. I'm really not sure about the UK releases but in the US an extended version of Battle was released on DVD in 2006. In 2008 the entire series was released on Blu-Ray. The extended version of Battle was included along with the theatrical version. Plus an alternate version of Conquest was included along with the theatrical version of that film.

As far as the UK releases, hopefully one of our members there might be able to answer your questions better than I can.

Ed Gross caught with the 2011 edition Dodge and took him for a test drive (this Dodge doesn't run a soil test but he will soil the screen with his wickedness). Felton is best known as the kid from "Harry Potter" you want to put over your knee and teach some manners. Hopefully Caesar will put him over his knee. To hear Felton tell it, "Rise of the Apes" is all good. For starters, he is a "huge fan of the franchise". He also calls the "Rise" script "one of the best things I've ever read, if not the best" (take that, Harry Potties!). But he seems to know the originals pretty well and he didn't say it was a direct prequel to them as some have suggested. Instead, "It's something completely new".
He also has great praise for the director, Rupert Wyatt, who really is getting thrown in the deep end of the pool having not done a previous big FX film. Felton calls him, "absolutely genius", and says "some of the stuff he has captured and I have seen is beautiful, it looks so cinematic as well as staying true to the story". He says, "Andy Serkis (Caesar) has been here from the start, and he sings Rupert's praises from the rooftops, and the fact is that he's been here every single minute of it, almost, and he's extremely excited". Sounds like there's going to be a lot of Caesar in the film.

"Rise of the Apes" was reportedly scheduled to finish filming Sept. 17th. This Facebook page has a note from Hilary Miles Flowers Ltd. that the wrap party is tomorrow (Sept. 17). So it looks like they finished on schedule after about 2 1/2 months of shooting. I guess they didn't have any green screen mixups or a delay in shipping the green body suits. : )

If the Apes look like the original Apes or similar, it could very well be great.If they look like regular real Apes, then not a chance.

In the Burton film the most any actor said was "I always wanted to work with Tim" avoiding the fact that the script sucked. Not this time. Im hoping and a wishing, take care..John M.

Agree! The charme or coolness of the originals was that they did not look like todays apes, and should not. Evolution,nuclear fallout,disease,whatever changed the apes apperance and that is what in my view made them unique....Burtons film made them look to authentic and that was a distraction. If apes are going to change mentally shouldnt they also change physically?..Whatever..John M.

Hi Paul,

I assume you're refering to the 2001 remake. Unfortunately, I don't have it on DVD so I can't do a screen grab, but someone else out there might.

Wow Jessica! That is so great. It really looks like him.

They're not exactly sharp (at least not in my opinion, but might be OK with you), but I've put up two examples of the scene you require. Again, sorry if they're too bad in quality for your purposes.

The loss of James Bacon, the only person to appear in all 5 of the original POTA films, is sad news this morning.

The groups home page picture pays tribute to Mr. Bacon: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/

Here is a link to the LA Times obituary which mentions his involvement in the POTA movies: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-bacon.0802-20100919,0,2114409,full.story

The only news I've heard is that some crazy fan wrote a POTA encyclopedia. I hear it is pretty good aside from some confusion about the Ape Management complex;-)

Looks to me like on of the various werewolf makeup jobs I've seen in different films.  I don't know what film it is from, though, but it sure looks familiar.

Look here, I've found an old black and white pic on the web of an early Jessica make-up experiment.  Wow!

 

No seriously, can anyone here identify this photo?  

 

Jessica?

 

Great recent sculpts, Jessica.  Sideshow should have had you working for them on their POTA line.  Wish you could do every main character and reproduce and sell them as "replacement heads."
