I want it to reach $ half a billion too, or at least beat "Rio" but it ain't gonna happen. Sorry.
The funny thing is "Twilight" is killing everything and "Rise" was going to come out now at one point. "Rise" might not have done as well if it went up against the werewolves with abs. : o

Nothing spectacular to report, but the current state of things, according to Box Office Mojo, are better than they were just a week ago.

It'll be a struggle that may take some time -- or it may not -- but RISE still could reach half a billion.

Total Worldwide gross as of December 3, 2011:
$480,925,128

Andy "Caesar" Serkis got a Best Supporting Actor nomination from the Washington D.C. critics. He's on a roll now. Is this the last time he'll be nominated this awards season? Nooooooooo!

That's COOool! At least he's getting recognition for his effort in
helping the effects do its job giving 'Caesar' personality. Hope
the recognition continues!

Although the box office returns are almost done for Rise, Fox is about to get another boost from DVD/Blu-Ray sales and rentals.

Anyone else getting the movie on Blu-ray/DVD when it comes out. I know it's the only thing that I've asked for this Christmas.

Yeah, they don't really do 2 disc DVDs anymore for movies. I guess the studios figure if people are big enough movie fans to want the extras, then they have blu-ray. But usually DVDs come with the commentaries. Maybe you got a preview disc.

Spot on--it's PERFORMANCE capture, not motion capture. After all, all film does is capture a performance and preserve it, often through filters, lighting, make-up.I firmly believe (having been a non believer before I actually saw it) that Andy Serkis'performance as Caesar is totally valid as an acting performance and desrves recognition.John, Scrolls.

Thanks for posting the links. First I've seen of the Blu-ray commercials. It feels great to see anything POTA on TV these days. Weird but it makes me feel like a kid--like Christmas.

I remember watching the TV series in 1974 at the ripe old age of 5 and later watching the cartoon Return to the Planet of the Apes at age 6. Fond memories--guess that's why I like apes so much. IF you were a kid in the 70s, Apes were everywhere.

I stand corrected! He is an actor...And he fleshed out
the character for the effects to work. And I still
agree with him getting a nomination, or recognition
for his work on 'RISE'.

Just read BOOM!'s eighth issue and I'm totally absorbed by this series---it may have felt like a slow burn to start, but it was worth the groundwork, because this series is hot, hot, HOT!!! Six pages in, Nix is given an iconic piece of kit that sets a tingle down the spine and there are Mutant issues and battle lines drawn that mean I am counting the days to #9 and 'Children of Fire'.If you haven't tried this series yet, treat yourself for Christmas--it's wonderful.John, Scrolls.

Well, it's not the planet of the apes UNTIL the apes occupy it. So shouldn't it be "Occupy the Planet of the Humans"? But that wouldn't work either. Next!
The writers themselves suggested "Revenge of the POTA" so I don't think they're going to get fancy.

OK, so the next APES movie will involve the apes moving into the vacant cities, towns and homes left by the human plague victims, so why haven't I thought of this before? Krueger almost had it, and it would help make the next POTA movie more socially relevant (although by the time the movies comes out it's time may have passed), but here it is....

"On a future earth... 99% of the human race... IS DEAD.

Now those that survive must battle the simians that...

OCCUPY THE PLANET OF THE APES"


Take that you republicans! Get it, the apes are going to go "occupy" the formerly human habitats.

By the way, if 99% of seven billion people are dead, how many does that leave still living? "Alot" I would guess.

Here's a video, I guess from the new "Rise" blu-ray, of Terry Notary putting the apes through their paces. Notary is a movie movement expert and I think the only continuation from POTA2001. He ran the Ape School for that opus. So everybody unwrap their unopened POTA2001 DVDs and look at the extras.

Robin Williams knows a thing or two about and creating characters (sometimes several in the span of a few seconds). And he liked what Andy Serkis wrought with Caesar. He's also got a vote in the Academy's acting branch (he's won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor himself). Here's what he had to say:

"(On "Jumanji") one of the hardest (computer) programs to write was the monkey because of the hair and I am going, "Wow, I'll be working for awhile (before being replaced by CG)"...(Caesar is) one of the most vivid characters I've seen in film in recent history, and it's done with CG but with a person behind it, driving it, which is a wonderful combination of technology and humanity. Even though it's an ape, (Serkis) gives it such depth and it's just powerful. That thing Coppola said years ago at the Academy Awards - "the technology will always need great storytelling to work together" - that's happening and it is driven by directors who know the technology... and I am just in awe. I just become a child sometimes watching these movies".

Here's an interview with the Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the writers of "Rise of the POTA", done by the website The Forbidden Zone (remember them?). It was done around the time the movie was released and deals with their own POTA fandom, some of the earlier drafts and how they had to streamline things to keep it on Caesar's journey (the movie industry edict to "keep it moving, keep it moving" is the reason for those curious deleted scenes). They also talk about the references to the earlier movies and how it was actually Fox exec Tom Rothman who pushed for that (whether that stuff worked or not, it's obvious they were trying to do right by the fans, especially after the Burton flick; Amanda says, "We really had one eye on the fans at all times"). It's a good interview I missed the first time around.

And I guess they will do a live interview Friday for this site as the blu-ray prepares to hit. Maybe we'll get some news on the sequel.

Watched the Captain America blu ray extras last night and there's an interesting feature on the Red Skull 'look'.It was a mixture of good old fashioned prosthetics and cgi tweaking , with Hugo Weaving still spending the traditional 3 and a half hours in make-up.With the way they 'shrunk' Chris Evans, it still makes me wonder if RISE could have succeeded with actual make-up.The 'tidying-up' technology is clearly there.John, Scrolls.

Fantastic history and screen grabs and everything else. Poor Conquest, my favorite, always gets picked on alittle but great work-Uncredited no less from M. Yuririch, amazing. Remember when "The Perfect Vision", "The Absolute Sounds" sister magazine would do articles similiar to this. People are not interested anymore inthe Art of filmaking. Great Articla thanks Rory, John M.

Did the same, even to the point in the early 70s of having my silent super 8 movies from 1968-1973 "Sound Stripped" at JC Penneys fim department-rember them, like Korvettes record dept. and so on. Take care, John M.

>>Well, there's the rub -- Fox owns it, you don't. Fox isn't going to

hand it over to an independent producer either, especially now that they've just made nearly half a billion dollars again from the concept -- and I write this thinking that Pierre Boulle is probably right now spinning in his grave. <<

>>Fox has been milking the POTA tit for decades now. (It was Fox that

wanted more APES sequels in the seventies, not Arthur P. Jacobs.) Fox milked it until they ran it into the ground, then they treated it like dirt for years, then they bastardized it and ruined it for a decade, now they've given it new life and I have little doubt they'll run it into the ground again -- but hopefully not. I doubt they care monkey bupkis (look that up if you want to know what it means) what old school APES fans want -- except that it doesn't suck like the Burton debacle. << <.html

It's in line with his character, as well as the ultimate (and final)
extension of his misanthropy. Mankind had fallen, the Ape rose and had
become just as bad, and humanity (albeit mutated) hadn't changed. In
fact, they had gotten worse. The world was a bastardized, nightmarish
version of what it had been. Nova was dead, Brent was dead- there was
only one way to permanently end the cycle. Heston had his own reasons of
course, but it worked exceptionally well as far as the story goes.

There's awesome.There's genius.And then there's the cosmic grandeur of the magnificence of the pupprt advert for RISE! Thanks for sharing--really made me smile.And the gorilla is better than Burton's effort.John, Scrolls.

With that double negative I'm not sure whether to agree or not.

Has Ain't made it into the dictionary yet?  I've often wondered

what it's a contraction of? A I Not? I only ask because I'm not

going to bother to look myself.  What was the question?

Yes, but I also think that just prior to deliberately detonating the bomb, he seemed willing to dismantle it (Brent seemed to convince him of the need to, despite his mourning the loss of Nova). He called to Zaius to help him, which Zaius refuses, sermonising about the troubles of humanity, so he basically goes "F*** it!" and falls on the button. I think Taylor hadn't totally decided what to do until Zaius's final words damning him and mankind, leading to his final petulant act. Who knows what would have happened if Zaius had of helped him (although whether he was an expert in bomb disposal, particularly that one, is another issue). Then again, the ending wouldn't have been as powerful and allegoric, and there wouldn't be the different circular or not timeline arguments that entertain some. ;)
