It won't disappoint me.After Burton, I had worries that he'd shot the franchise in the back of the head.Now, I'm really, really hopeful that Rise is just the start of a new cinematic series that puts Apes back at the top.When the new trailer appears, it's real, there's no going back.Bring it on!

.html
The "Rise of the POTA" trailer this week will be 1 minute, 50 seconds, a decent length as teaser trailers go. It's slated to hit Friday (presumably with Fox's "Rio") but maybe it will sneak on the internet earlier, or even preview on something like "Entertainment Tonight". This week should get the ball rolling, positive or negative. : o

Yeah, that should be temporary.
Once the site is officially online, it'll go to the new apes site.
I remember back when Fox deleted planetoftheapes.com it just went to the main Fox site before now when it now goes to nothing.
Because apeswillrise.com goes the the main Fox site, that means it's gearing up to something soon. And just the fact that it's on the official twitter page means that it will be the movies domain name. Most likely something will be up by the time the trailer officially hits the web. Hopefully.

Gee, I wonder why the movie is called "Rise of the POTA" but the website is "apeswillrise"? Shouldn't they use the title of the movie? ; )



Maybe they just want something short.  Wouldn't they be able to use the full title, despite what Alex may own, by just going www.riseoftheplanetoftheapes-movie.com?

You know how we often talk about the APES films being "digitally enhanced" with CGI to cover over mistakes that are now glaring after repeated home viewings?  One example often mentioned is the escape hatch being already blown off when we first see its exterior in a shot at the beginning of PLANET. 
 
In photoshop I've done a quick digital correction of a still frame from this shot.  It took me all of five to ten minutes, isn't perfect, but it gives an idea of what's possible.

I think Fox can pretty much use anything and get a million hits.
Advertisements in trailers, TV trailers, posters and so on won't make that difficult at all.
I'm the charity case here, hoping that people use common sence and try the tilte followed by a .com :o)
But we'll see how it goes. Don't really expect anything to pick up until the movie title is really out there, outside of just internet news.

Speaking of hair, Apemaia's museum display of Zira
looks like cheap crepe hair.  And some of the displays
look more like the cast of Apemaia than the cast of the
film.  But I can't fault their Dr. Zaius.  Practically perfect.

Apes #1 -- Cigars, everybody!

Daryl Gregory | April 10, 2011 at 8:11 am | Categories: Blatant self-promotion | URL: http://wp.me/p8T09-96

So what's the gestational period for an ape?

It can't be long, because an entire planet of 'em took about five months, from script brainstorm to publication date. The official date for Planet of the Apes #1 is now set at April 27, 2011, and there's a five-page preview (as well as a few covers) at  http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/04/preview-planet-of-the-apes-1/ Take a look at how that Carlos Magno draws apes!

I've been doing a bunch of interviews, as a forum chat, a podcast at Wordballoon (not out yet), and a few minutes with Sohaib at Fictional Frontiers (not out yet either -- I'll post a link when they're up) .

Here's a sampling:

Interview with MTV Geek

Interview with Pop Culture Zoo

Archive of the chat on the POTA Yahoo Group (thanks to Rich Handley for collating and posting this. You can also see my interview with Rich on the site.)

Oh, and to skip ahead, here's the cover for #2.

POTA's first albino gorilla, everybody

When they made the first movie they spared no expense on the wigs.  John Chambers personally picked one of the best wig makers in the business at that time, Josephine Turner, who made many of the wigs by hand, with real human hair.  You can see her doing her thing in the PLANET featurette, and on top of that, Edith Lindon was a hair stylist to each of the main characters.  A lot of this was carried over to BENEATH, but the budget was less, and by the time you get to ESCAPE, the budget was so low that while the wigs were probably still human hair (you only had three apes to makeup) there was no longer a hair stylist and everything became standardized (for lack of a better term).  I believe that by the production of CONQUEST, artifical hair wigs were being used on the extras in full makeup and quite possibly even on McDowall and Trundy.  I could be wrong, maybe the wigs were still real human hair right up to the end of the TV series, but they weren't done with the kind of care taken on the first film.  I doubt the hair was real on the pull over masks.

*** The author of this comic said he watched them many times, and several
times a year as a kid... I don't see the connection between what is being
written and what was in the films though... I don't like what they're doing and
if they're insisting on going this route, they would have been a lot better
off saying that this story is its own take on the POTA name rather than
saying it ties in with the original films... ***

I added a new album entitled Wondercon 2011. Jeff and Lacey drove all the way up from San Diego so that I would not be the only ape in town, and for that I am eternally grateful. We were to meet Mitchell, who had a gorilla costume, but we were moving targets and did not encounter him until the last hour we were there. Jeff was surprised that there were no rugs on the concrete floor...and I'm sure Jeff can tell you himself but my feet were really killing me by the end of the day. It was a lot of fun, and we caused a lot of commotion when we were there. I went with my girlfriend who refuses to be in costume, and we were separated many times throughout the day. Once I found Jeff I pretty much hung out with him and Lacey all day. I had a blast and can't wait unti lthe next time, of course. Lacey was brave and even ate a pizza! I think it's just so much more fun when you're not the only ape in town.

As I recall, even on the first one, the pull over's were bad.
The ape on the horse that whips Taylor and gets pulled off

Well, I feel like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke against a sea of negativity, but I'm really excited by this new comic's approach.Riffs on the 'standard' universe have, possibly, been done to death now.A bit like Italian car designers, the approach always should be to not slavishly follow the preconceived ideas of the audience, but to lead them to new places they didn't know they'd like.Likewise the new Apes comic--give it a chance---you may just surprise yourself.If not, you've spent $3.99 on an Apes product and can put it down to experience.John, Scrolls.

I'm with you John. I'm excited to see the new comic too. So far all we've seen is a few pages. It is hard to judge it based on just a few pages. Let's at least take a look at the whole first issue.

OK after creating and uploading several different edits over the weekend, it looks like there is finally one that isn't (and hopefully won't be) blocked by FOX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpxfnVIA5DM.

Most of what was cut was footage from Escape that everyone has seen 1,000 times anyway.

Of course the full version is still available here: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/Misc./Stuff/EPTR.htm and on the mirror site: http://www.potamediaarchive.com/EPTR.htm.

Nice collage. I see what you mean about the hairline. But I still like the longer hair on 'Escape' Cornelius. I also still prefer the face on the latter. I don't know what it is....maybe it's the nose sculpt or the brow. The face also looks a tad longer....maybe it's just an illusion due to the hair being longer. Regardless, I think we can all agree that Cornelius = awesomeness.

Favorite Cornelius, that is...  No, sir, I have not forgotten, and here's my "Battle of the Corneliuses" page.  On the left, classic Roddy McDowall Cornelius from PLANET, and on the right, the McDowall Cornelius of ESCAPE, and just so he's not left out, beneath that is the David Watson Cornelius from, what else?   Which Cornelius look do you prefer?

I added a new album entitled Wondercon 2011.  Jeff and Lacey drove all the way up from San Diego so that I would not be the only ape in town, and for that I am eternally grateful.  We were to meet Mitchell, who had a gorilla costume, but we were moving targets and did not encounter him until the last hour we were there.  Jeff was surprised that there were no rugs on the concrete floor...and I'm sure Jeff can tell you himself but my feet were really killing me by the end of the day.  It was a lot of fun, and we caused a lot of commotion when we were there.  I went with my girlfriend who refuses to be in costume, and we were separated many times throughout the day.  Once I found Jeff I pretty much hung out with him and Lacey all day.  I had a blast and can't wait unti lthe next time, of course.  Lacey was brave and even ate a pizza!  I think it's just so much more fun when you're not the only ape in town.

1- BD release for the 1974 POTA TV series, featuring restoration and remastering and the aged Galen clips (restored and remastered as well).

2- New BD release for BENEATH (my fave sequel, I'm the biggest BRENT fan in the world), featuring... new video transfer, restoration and loads of extras.

3- New POTA movie being awesome and amazing !!!
(and successful).

Looks interesting, but too short a time to really convince me that it's not going to look like all other past CGI attempts at making a tangible character, which all end up as approximations and look like it. I'd like to see the character amongst humans, animals or real backgrounds before I'll say it's realistic or not. Still, it does look good from what I can see, but I'm not going to go ape about it... not yet.

It's friggin' WETA. There was doubt?

The CGI is only one element in whether or not this movie is a success, and it's not the most important.

I'd like to see the character amongst humans, animals or real backgrounds before I'll say it's realistic or not.

Is that going to be completely answerable until you see the final film?

Probably. However, a five second clip isn't really going to wow me right now. I'm interested and my interest is piqued, but I'll spare my salivating, if any, for the final product.

I agree. I'm not even sure you can really tell anything from a five second clip. Even so, even if the CGI is wonderful, it won't really wow me as much as the script and the acting. The CGI is a nice side dish, but I want the meat and vegetables, too. Still, for a five second clip, it looks good.

The press release makes tomorrow's chat sound pretty cool. It will be the WETA FX dudes explaining how Caesar is "a CG character that gives a performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence" and that "working on a POTA film has long been the "holy grail" of visual FX wizardry - and a driving force behind their own careers". Also part of the chat will be director Rupert Wyatt and some of the other folks involved. And there will be a video about Andy Serkis' work on the film. I know that POTA is a favorite film of WETA co-founder Peter Jackson (who did a POTA homage in one of the films he did as a kid, and long tried to do a POTA film himself, with Roddy's blessing). So maybe tomorrow we'll get a better idea of what this will be.
