At long last,Rise is seeping into the movie mags.Total Film #181 for July 2011 has a three page feature, full of pics (I don't have a scanner) and observes 'Ignore the silly title.This looks good'.And, 'Say what you like about re-boots.This isn't Tim Burton'.So, a good vibe.Amazingly, SFX Mag this month, which came out AFTER Total Film, doesn't even mention Apes.The lack of SFX Mag coverage borders on positive antipathy towards Apes, frankly.If it aint Doctor Who, they don't care,which is just pathetic.The pics in Total Film include trailer screen grabs and the still hold up to close scrutiny in print--the CGI is ground breaking stuff.Anyway, the print media is off to a good start on Rise.John, Scrolls.

Do we know if we'll be getting action figures for Rise of the POTA? Will the Ape characters be well enough defined/distinguished for separate figures? I hope so---I love my Apes dollies. John, Scrolls.

Has anybody else actually played the Beyond the Forbidden Zone game on the Blu Ray? I eventually got to the end, after several criticisms from the Lawgiver and regrets about ladders and water.By some miracle, I got there, an achievement announced by a resounding 'MA-MA' on the game's soundtrack.I have to say, as a game, it makes root canal look attractive, but the potential is there for a better game format.John, Scrolls.

We know there's a trailer ready so I can't imagine why they wouldn't put it out with "X-Men". What are they going to put, "Mr. Popper's Penguins"? Maybe it will hit today.

I'm sure we would have heard something by now.
So I doubt it. At least we have a film clip this weekend on the MTV Movie Awards.

So far reaction seems to run the gamut from people thinking the CG sucks to people thinking the CG is great to people thinking the dialogue/situations suck to people thinking it's a compelling take. I was taken by how much the trailer seemed to be made for me as an Ape fan. The stuff on the bridge looks so much like "Conquest". It was so cool when Caesar spelt out "Jacobs" (the name of the corporate guy who runs the lab). Good thing he didn't know how to spell "Zanuck". The trailer still stuck to the themes of the first trailer instead of broadening out so it remains to be seen how much heft the final script has, but the trio of Caesar, Franco and Pinto stood out for me this time, and the menace from Brian Cox.
The CG, yeah it will never be 100% but neither would an actor in ape makeup. It's an art form. It looked to me at least as good as the new "King Kong". It's a lot harder to portray creatures we are used to seeing doing things we aren't used to seeing them do then to create aliens or corrupted hobbits or blue Sigourney Weavers. I dug the trailer but it remains to be seen how audiences will take to it. Those going to the movies this weekend (especially "X-Men"), if they show this trailer take note of how the audience reacts. Like the makeup test almost a half century ago, if they don't laugh we're solid.

>>Hi Apers,

I was wondering if you could have me remember the name of a sci-fi film hopefully made in the 60's?

I think it starred Liam Sullivan (Star Trek: Plato's Stepchildren) , but his filmography does not indicate the film in question-so maybe I'm wrong.

It's been so long since I saw the film that I don't know the full story; but herewith is what I can remember:

A crew of 4 or 5 astronauts/spacemen crash on Mars, during the film they encounter a Martian with a transparent done head showing his brain, and apparently this Martian needs the humans help to shrink his city to help the Martian civilization to survive, the humans succeed in doing what was needed, and the city begins to shrink, but they have to escape city or be trapped with the Martians; then somehow at the end of the film the humans end back on their spaceship above Mars.

Well that's it, any help will be appreciated.

I'm hoping this film is availble on DVD, once I know it's name. <<<.html

Rory, I couldn't agree more.I didn't think I COULD be more excited about Rise, but this second trailer is a work of art.I'm already rooting for Caesar and his gang.And if they don't do a plush baby Caesar figure there simply is no Lawgiver. Mind blowingly brilliant.This film will be immense.John,Scrolls.

I have to say that I like the look of Ceasar. He looks like a cross between a real ape and the make-up from the original films.

MTV seems to be doing the biggest promoting of POTA of the big companies. They're always there with a review of the latest POTA comic or an interview with a "Rise of the POTA" star. This Sunday they premiere a new clip from "Rise". I thought they might be part of News Corp. , the company that owns 20th Century Fox but no, they are owned by Viacom (Paramount is their studio). "Rise" has been so under the radar that MTV has really stood out as bringing it up. I remember they had some specials on to promote POTA2001 as well. Maybe they feel POTA fits their demographic. I dunno.

One of my best friends edited that. Apparently it's incredible...

Great trailer . Did you read the comments. These people must all be in an Ape haters club. They have no problem with orange superheroes flying around in their underwear but this premise they hate. When someone leaves a comment that they like it, then according to these posters, they are shills for Fox. I never saw a website so anti-apes it looks almost like a well designed studio attack if I was a conspiracy nut. Shame though, they have a good quality trailer, they dont deserve it.
I think its great and something different and it still can morph into a classic Apes look if they choose so and they make mucho money.

Here's the final shot in the new trailer showing all three famed POTA species: chimps, gorillas and a rare orang (Maurice, named after a certain thespian).

Burton's Apes did us a lot of damage.It made Apes the convenient whipping boy for dead heads who need to criticise to feel they exist.Even ten years later, the stench lingers.That's one reason why (in spite of my own initial reservations about CGI)it's so refreshing that Rise is SO fresh, SO new.I don't think I've ever felt more absorbed by a trailer than I am by this second Rise trailer.I'm going to use a very bad analogy here for the one and only time, but if you remember Scooby Doo, as dreadful as that was, two minutes in that WAS Scooby--I had totally, totally suspended disbelief and Scooby was a real character (more real than Freddy,actually).With Rise, this will be a quantum leap further in the reality stakes.We, as Apes fans, need to be vocal--every forum or site should be filled with positivity from Apes fans now.We've been a punch bag for too long.Let's take a leaf out of Caesar's book and punch back.John, Scrolls.

You know I can be a pain but when it comes to trailers the most I would say is that a certain preview is "derevitive" or same old super heroe. These nerdy little smurfs typing from the safety of their bathrooms are given to much credence and press sort of speak.
This is sci-fi, and being critical about a fantasy premise is really rediculous. In other words these childish small minded ejaculates should, to quote someone many years ago to go "Kiss a girl", Take care, John M.

At the official Fox site on Youtube the trailer went from 298 to almost 2 million views in 24 hours. Its the number 5 video right now with no other movie in site. I noticed yesterday that amongst all the other sites the views were all over the place from 10 to 20 thousand. Does you tube take all the copied trailers and add them together to get this great amount or is it just strickly the Fox "Apes will Rise" site. Either way an incredible showing. Take Care, John M.

Some of the commentators act like they've seen the movie, not the trailer. Everybody's in an uproar about how the apes couldn't possible take over our well-armed society. They act like it's personal, like a football game where the humans lose. It's not that hard to research what the director has said before flapping their yap. The filmmakers chose the toughest POTA story they could do, the origin story, and even if they got it wrong it's not like the superhero movies or "Harry Potter" (or "The Hangover") are documentaries. At worst, "Rise" will be par for the summer course.

Yeah, Fox attached it to "X-Men". Same thing, no laughing or jeering, just silence, but they seemed to be paying attention. Someone said, "Wow". I thought the trailer looked good on a movie screen, and in HD. The better the picture the better the CG looks.
I enjoyed "X-Men", though it started slow. The early Nazi stuff was kind of awkward. I think the movie works better if you know the other ones, at least the first two. Fun putting it in the '60's, though they should've stuck closer to history. Good reviews but a slow start at the box office (estimated $ 53 million weekend). Fox is philosophical, comparing it to "Batman Begins". Will "Rise" save Fox's summer or will Jim Carrey's penguins?

Well, I just got back from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and the new RISE trailer is the last one shown before the movie. I've watched this trailer at least five times now, so it goes by pretty fast for me now. The CGI looks OK on the big screen, but CGI is always CGI, still this is the best way to do the primitive apes. The reaction from the audience I sat with was silence after it was done, though I did hear a woman behind me whisper "Cool." But, at least no one laughed or yelled out "That'll suck!." The theatre wasn't that packed and it was mostly a family crowd. A bigger audience packed with fan boys would probably have a much different reaction.

As for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (for those who care), it was OK, but I thought overlong. I'm just not into this kind of thing, so it left me unmoved, but it wasn't a waste of money.... at least January Jones was in it, and boy, she's a cold bitch. The movie is practically wall to wall CGI, but the prosthetics work done on some of the actors is just as phoney looking. The cinematography now is so sharp and clear, that prosthetics just look like what they are -- rubber. That said, it was good makeup.

I also saw a trailer for GREEN LANTERN and that looks like it's going to be pretty good. It has a retro-'50s Sci-Fi look to it that appeals to me.

John Lithgow tweeted that on May 26 he spent 3 hours looping "Rise" (rerecording dialogue). He said, "I looked just like my father!!".

Someone on "Facebook" (the person who runs www.thelunchmovie.com so they seem to be serious about movies) says they heard a "rampant" rumor that Caesar will speak one word (as he does in the script) and it will be Roddy's voice saying it. Cool or folly?

Apes has an enormous reservoir of 'passive' fandom out there---it's such a part of the culture that the world will always be curious about a new Apes movie.If we can marry that to the perfect storm of actually having a great movie, too---and this trailer is massively encouraging---Apes just might be back.John, Scrolls.

I've had this for the last couple of days when coming to this page, having to click a button to enter:

'You've reached an Age-Restricted Area of Yahoo! Groups

'This area contains material of a mature and adult nature that may not be suitable for younger users. You must be over the age of 18 to access this area of Yahoo! Groups.

'By clicking the "I Accept" button below, you certify that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18 or do not wish to continue, select "I Don't Accept" below and you will be returned to the Yahoo! Groups home page.'

Blah... blah... blah...

Sorry, but has this group got some dirty secret or something? Has Yahoo! got the wrong impression that because we love the Apes films, we're somehow a bit deviant? I'm sure from what I've read so far, that there isn't anything too controversial residing in this group. I hope I haven't wandered into some fetish group by accident. ;)

Our group has been moved to the "Adult" catagory for some strange reason. This happened once before about a year and a half ago. I've already contacted Yahoo! to request that it be moved back. That process takes about 2 weeks so everyone will have to put up with the warning until the problem is fixed.

I went to see X-Men:First Class last night and saw the Rise trailer--last trailer out of five, right before the movie.It looked astonishing on the big screen and there was a sort of reverential hush in the auditorium--it definitely had an impact.This was the first trailer---the new trailer will blow people's minds.Sky 1 over here, sadly, is currently showing Burton's Apes, which spoils the mood a bit.
Incidentally, X-Men First Class was, imho, the perfect X-Movie and it contains the most killer cameo since Taylor in Beneath.Great fun. John, Scrolls.

Damn--if this is now an adult group, does that mean I have to raise my game to keep up? John, Scrolls.

Yes you do.

Thankfully, Yahoo! has fixed the problem for the moment.

Fox is planning to get into the ape business big time. Besides "Rise of the POTA" (and maybe sequels) they plan to visit "King Kong" in an animated feature. Fox has already done the animated "Space Chimps" and a straight to DVD sequel but maybe good vibes for "Rise" is behind this announcement.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/06/fox-animation-takes-on-king-kong-story/

Brian Cox plays lousy human bastard Hank Landon (I love that name) in "Rise of the POTA". He doesn't bother treating the apes at his "sanctuary" well because they're not human, you know. Cox is the only "Rise" actor, and maybe the only "Rise" person period, who has worked with original "Apes" director Franklin Schaffner. Cox played no less than Commie icon Leon Trotsky ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Trotsky ) in Schaffner's "Nicholas and Alexandra".

http://www.coxian.com/media/photos/index..html"

In this century he starred in and produced Rupert Wyatt's first feature, "The Escapist", which paved the way for Wyatt directing "Rise" (Cox says Fox asked him for a recommendation before hiring Wyatt). Cox has had a great career but seems best known for playing villains in flicks like "Troy", "X-Men 2", the "Bourne" movies, and he was even the first to play beloved cannibal Hannibal Lector (the role later gobbled up by Anthony Hopkins) in "Manhunter".
Cox has talked recently about "Rise". Says he about this new CG world: "Now the CGI people can do all the makeup. It's great, but I like the old style. We have to move with the times". But it's not makeup, you know.

I may be paranoid, but I'm beginning to feel as though there is discrimination against Apes in the printed media.Sci Fi Now this month doesn't even mention Rise--- the advert for the next issue out less than one month before Rise opens plugs features on ...be still my beating heart...Conan, Chuck,Harry Potter and Torchwood.No Apes.So, this month, both UK sci fi mags have ignored Rise.It's like a conspiracy of silence and a twisted weirdo like me could imagine a positive anti Apes plot.What makes me even more annoyed is that when Apes is a hit, these alleged sci fi mags will churn out regurgitated crap 'specials' to cash in.And I'll buy 'em. John, Scrolls.

John, you are parnoid but that doesn't mean they're not out to get you;-)

My guess, and this a total guess so I could be wrong, is that due to the lead time for most of these magazines of about 2 to 3 months, Fox publicity was caught short and missed the deadlines due to the film being moved up to the 8/5 premiere date.

Even though I feel the same way about mags, I feel they are mostly irrelevent now, even though I loved them. The internet and TV and word of mouth will do it for Apes. It is strange though since Apes has been doing very well with youtube and other electronic outlets. I hope it all comes through in the wash and Apes blows them all away.. Comics, books, dolls and even more things are happeneing so the magazine indifference is strange. They do have this superheroe and gore frenzy on their minds and placing Apes is hard for this new generation of editors and anything to do with the past is ignored to them or they are tired of anything that can have a brain behind it, its a hard question to answer, I hope they shape up..Take care, John M.

This guy went to Fox's all day summit for "Rise of the POTA" (6/3/11) and all we got were pictures of his lousy T-shirt. Hopefully someone will report on this in more detail.

The Smoking Jacket went to the "Rise" summit and is giving away their "Rise" backpack. Details at the link.
