Will you quit it? Fox is not going to tie it into the originals. That's too complicated. They're going to start fresh. It's "POTA Begins".
There's a chance if they're planning something it'll be released when "Rise" hits DVD. That's a year from now. They're going to have to come up with some extras. Probably they'll give the original blu-rays a nice push when "Rise" is in theaters.

My theory is that Fox will come out with an "Ultimate Edition" (or some such name) Blu-ray of just the original prior to the reboot's release, and that the new Blu-ray will not have the Lawgiver intro on it at the beginning, but rather a trailer for the new movie -- which will be presented as a prequel to the classic film. Whether or not there will be improved 5.1 sound, or new features is anyone's guess....

But, that's my theory and for now, and I'm sticking to it.

I just want to start noise. I prasied them though and gave a few short opinions and a background that lasted no more than a small paragraph. Thre only adress to send is foxmovies@... att Shawn Belston.
Its the generic e-mail adress I know but I wanted to start slow and from my investigating this is the only adress for regular people unless you can get a more private adress for the person in question. Later on I will try to go deeper and call Fox or get involved with a writing campaign that you should start.
Its early so I wanted to be a pest first and try to start a more formal mailing. I do believe that all the apes should be done(5 Originals) to me it makes sense and I bet in the years to come esp. if the new film and possible sequels are popular it will be done, it has always been done, especially by Fox recently. Im one of the rare ones that wants the best elements and video/audio while so many want toys and garbage cans. That always starts me arguing and thats a shame.
To me film elements and audio are the most important issue when wanting apes material(IMHO). A nice simple edition with few frills a nice small box and end it their, like the old criterion collections on laserdisk. Going on again, take care John M.

The draft could be worked on by all of us here, James prints it up and sends it (it'll only cost you a little time and a stamp, James -- or I could do it!), though I dread that there would be too many sequel requests that would make the whole thing to complicated and silly. If we could just stick with the original for now and what we'd really like to see and hear on a dream Blu-ray.

Its foxmovies@.... The second part of the question is that DVI(Digital video interface) was the precurser to HDMI . It did the same thing but did not deliver audio and the hookup was based on a computer bus. The piece in question just kept the signal level strong over long hauls and broke the signal up into analog video/audio(RCA outputs). I hope that helps Rory, take care John M.(Somehow I feel you knew this)

My wife and I did that and it was great fun.  We are watching POTA TV series now on DVD.  It is the first time my wife ever saw it and the first time I have seen it since I was a child and watching it on the original network run.

I'm a big fan of the TV series. It has flaws, of course--simplistic storytelling, corny jokes, some seriously awful guest-star acting--but it also has genuine chemistry among the lead actors, and for me, that makes it worth watching.

Hi, folks!

Wired magazine's Web site posted a brief article today, based on an interview with me conducted via e-mail, regarding Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes.

Right about now, I'm feelin' pretty wired!

I also think it has stood the test of time well - far better than many of those very groovy looking 70's shows.

Great article Rich! Congrats!

So has anyone gotten the book yet? Would love to read a review from a real POTA fan.

Sounds like those Sony Bravia TVs in the store.

they split the screen and "show" how they Bravia

engine is "improving" the picture.  Unfortunately

for Sony they TV is surrounded by every other

TV in the store.  So you can easily do a side

by side, over & under, comparision to the TVs

next to it and see that the Bravia side isn't

so much improved as the before side is

messed up with color destauration, etc...

Ive always felt that way. The hobby of collecting memorabilia and that applies to Apes, Muscle cars, Posters even electronics is becoming a comoditity and the fan who is of average means cannot join in because the wealthy collector is making an investment, not buying for the love of it and prices are escallating.
I first noticed this with muscle cars around 1990. I could of had a mint perfect, original build sheet, exactly like it came out of the factory Plymouth GTX 6 pack for 10 grand. Now I saw the same car going for 100,000 thousand! dollars. Auctions and the rich man building a portfolio is killing all of these hobbies since the early 90s. Collectables are getting eaten up like a virus on the prowl. Same thing happened with my Beatles Butcher shot album. I got it for 100 dollars in 1985 sold it in 1993 for 2000 dollars and now it can fetch 50,000 dollars or more.
I get mad because the people buying these artifacts dont have a love of them but a love of money. Their are people who say that its because of the rich investor that these collectables are around but thats BS. Even I was offered good money for my Apes stuff but refused because I felt I could get more. Its an infection that even I am getting, Human nature is wonderful.

I was a Sony fan my whole life, but in the flat screen era it took until about 2 years ago to get their s$#@ together and now they are very good. Panasonic right now probably makes the best Plasmas since Pioneer has forgone making them. LCD(LED) is almost anybody's game but Samsung is very good. The reason I make these statements is that I calibrated TVs for 20 years and you get to know who makes what and who makes the best for the average customer. Real great TVs are from Runco and other brands alot of folks dont know to well. Sorry for going off topic. I will say that its a great time to buy TVs the prices and quality have never(Digital TV) been better. John M.

This show is on Bravo this week. Was on Tuesday; the next showing looks to be Saturday 12AMish. Probably no "Apes" talk but these are usually good.
Meanwhile, this should tide you over:

A certain bad boy franchise returns a week after "Rise of the Apes" opens. These two will have to duke it out come July. Here's the trailer. Are you scared yet? ; )

I think it just shows the low esteem

Fox holds for their own work.  They

and the other studios are always

auctioning off props, costumes etc...

Luckily.  Otherwise private collectors

and places like Planet Hollywood

and other movie museums wouldn't

have a shot at pieces like that.

I thought about it, but to be honest

Samsungs & Sanyos look better

and cost less.  I always go by

the yellows.  They should look

You're right about that.  Aussie car collectors can't stand it when people take an Aussie Ford Falcon XB GT and turn it into a BoB, (Black On Black), Mad Max Interceptor.  There are other cars that have the same body style and do with a bit of work, but some people are purists.  And there are two types of guitar collectors, Players & Wall Hangers.  Some want a late 50's Les Paul with all original hardware to hang on the wall and just gather value and dust.  They couldn't care less if the neck is out of line, or the frets buzz, as long as everything right down to the screws is original. But a working musician will have it re-fretted, change out the machine heads, pickups or whatever it takes to keep it playing right and sound great.  Both think the other is so wrong, but it's just points of view.

Reportedly James "Rise of the Apes" Franco has bought the rights to a biography of Sal Mineo and plans to write and direct the movie (and maybe star?). One of Mineo's last roles was Milo Sr. in "Escape". Both Milo and Mineo met tragic ends. Franco has already played Mineo's "Rebel Without a Cause" costar James Dean, one of his earliest roles that got him a Golden Globe. Franco's first film as a director was "The Ape", in which he shared an apartment with a talkative gorilla. He recently sold a documentary he did about "Saturday Night Live", but his directing career is still in the formative stages so his playing the role would be a good bargaining chip I think. If Franco played Mineo doing "Escape" that would plain rock. Though he might be too tall, but he can slouch.

"Lexicon" is awesome. The work that you, Hunter, and others do is much appreciated. We've come a long way.

Just think, I went from merely anticipating the movies being played once a year on a fuzzy TV station when I was a kid to what we have now. We're all being spoiled and it's great.

P.S. I also went from having an Ursus Mego in purple tights to a much more accurate Hot Toys version. Life is good.

What bothered me is that Grogan keeps the statue in his yard. You can see the effects of being exposed to the elements on the statue and I would rather see it in a better protected environment.

BTW How did the DVD come out?

I say good for Ed Grogan not selling The Lawgiver, though I really do wish Fox had simply outbid him years ago and it was now in the secure hands of the studio. Maybe someday it will.

Hi, Eric,

Yes! Someone finally received their copy of the book! I was wondering when they were going to start showing up. I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)

I find it amusing that so many sites are reporting on this, and yet hardly any of them have bothered to mention the synchronicity of Franco, an actor appearing in the next Apes film, portraying an actor who appeared in a previous Apes film. The emphasis is all on the James Dean connection.

One of Mineo's last roles was Milo Sr. in "Escape". Both Milo and Mineo met tragic ends. Franco has already played Mineo's "Rebel Without a Cause" costar James Dean, one of his earliest roles that got him a Golden Globe. Franco's first film as a director was "The Ape", in which he shared an apartment with a talkative gorilla. He recently sold a documentary he did about "Saturday Night Live", but his directing career is still in the formative stages so his playing the role would be a good bargaining chip I think. If Franco played Mineo doing "Escape" that would plain rock. Though he might be too tall, but he can slouch.

Does anybody have any idea where this "Prop Ape Scroll Block" that Profiles in History is auctioning comes from? I don't recall seeing this in any of the movies or TV series.

That's a good point but such is the way of the world. Most people look down on the "Ape" sequels. It takes a certain person to look beyond the low budgets and the "monkey masks" to see them as more than B movies. Even Franco was kind of dubious about them, saying, "Those masks have cult value, but..." :

http://www.collider.com/2010/10/25/james-franco-interview-rise-of-the-apes-danny-boyle-2012-olympics-london/

Doobie, dubious. But it would still be kind of interesting if they used the Chambers makeup on such a scene. Maybe Franco would be fair in his portrayal, especially if POTA turns out to be beddy beddy good to him. Or more likely it'll never get made.
Probably Franco would play James Dean, since he already got a Golden Globe for the role. Who would play Mineo? Seth Rogan?

Here's Franco doing his best James Dean:

I don't think this is such great news -- and I'll tell you why.

You all here love APES, I'm assuming, everything APES, and you don't like it being made fun of or put down in any way -- well, except for BATTLE maybe (and I have my issues with BENEATH).

Anyway, any bio I've read of Mineo talks about his appearance in ESCAPE as THE low point in his career, as a role almost approaching a humiliation, something done out of desperation to keep working, as if he'd stooped to doing a porno just to stay in "show business," and we've read that he didn't enjoy being in the ape makeup.

I'll bet any film on his life will play up -- in exaggerated form -- this episode in Mineo's career as a funny but sad and pathetic end to what had started out so promisingly. They'll mock ESCAPE, they'll mock the makeup. They'll do this because it's easy.

This is something I do not want to see. If they skip the ESCAPE appearance, then I'd be fine with the movie, as I like Mineo and think he was a good actor and from all accounts a very nice person, but if they were to do what I describe above, then I'll wish it were never made.

Arthur and Natalie kept it outside for decades. Roddy kept his Caesar statue outside, the Motion Picture Home keeps it outside. That's what people do with statues. It's better than being locked up in a Fox vault where only folks like Leonardo DiCaprio can see it. Power to the people!

It doesn't have to be in a vault but leaving it outside exposed to the elements can't be good for it. And not all statues are outside. Religious statues are usually inside.
