If you read the description under the video, you'll find a link to a "making of" video that shows that a real orangutan was used.

http://www.veoh.com/watch/v20521998W5Yrt4AW

However, there's another version of the commercial that uses a CGI orangutan, at least for some shots.  And it is a re-do of the original commercial, which featured a chimp.  This appears to be a mix of a real chimp (some of the shots of it in bed) and CGI (in the aisle):

Here's the orangutan version of that one (with a mostly-CGI ape):

At any rate, is it not likely that Rise's success inspired this seguay of simian fervor into the commercial realm?

Happy 2012 from Houston :-)

So the restored POTA68 is for the once every 10 year event or will it be issued on blu-ray. The sequels projected on bluray might be a little chessy if done improperly. All should have been restored. 35mm Planet and the sequels bluray..lame, John M.

http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/planet-of-the-apes-marathon Egyptian Theatre 6712 Hollywood Boulevard Hollywood, CA 90028 Sat, February 18 5:00pm 5 Films Back-To-Back with Actors In Person! Planet Of The Apes Marathon PLANET OF THE APES, 1968, 20th Century Fox, 119 min. Dir. Franklin Schaffner. One of the greatest modern sci-fi films, a combination of apocalyptic action and evolutionary parable. Astronaut Charlton Heston finds himself stranded on a strangely familiar world dominated by a race of highly intelligent gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. Trailer BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, 1970, 20th Century Fox, 94 min. Three years before he directed the most somber of the DIRTY HARRY sequels, MAGNUM FORCE, reliable craftsman Ted Post took a similar approach to the second - and scariest - entry in the PLANET OF THE APES franchise. Astronaut Brent (James Franciscus), on a rescue mission looking for Taylor (Charlton Heston), finds himself caught between apes determined to wipe out humanity and a subterranean cult of H-bomb-worshipping mutants. It's a premise that leaves little room for hope, but Post energizes the material with riveting action sequences. The result is an underrated combination of stylish adventure and bleak philosophy that seems timelier than ever in its examination of man's terrifying potential for self-annihilation. Co-starring Kim Hunter, Linda Harrison, Maurice Evans. Trailer ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, 1971, 20th Century Fox, 98 min. Dir. Don Taylor. When chimpanzees Cornelius and Zira (Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter) mysteriously arrive on Earth in a spaceship, they are greeted with wonder and quickly become a media sensation. But this initial excitement turns to suspicion, and the chimp couple find themselves victims of a high-level conspiracy. Trailer CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, 1972, 20th Century Fox, 88 min. Dir. J. Lee Thompson. Roddy McDowall and Don Murray star in the fourth PLANET OF THE APES film, which takes place in the then-future 1990s! In a political allegory timed to coincide with the black power movement of the early 1970s, the enslaved apes plot to overthrow the human race that has oppressed them; this ambitious and entertaining sci-fi classic served as a template for last year's RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Trailer BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, 1973, 20th Century Fox, 93 min. Dir. J. Lee Thompson. The fifth and final film in the APES franchise finds the title characters battling mutant humans. Roddy McDowall returns as Caesar, and Claude Akins and John Huston provide support to help bring the series full circle. Trailer Special Ticket Prices: $15 General Admission, $13 Seniors/Students, $11 American Cinematheque Members Discussion between first and second features with actors Eric Braeden, Don Murray, H.M. Wynant, and Linda Harrison. Screening formats: 35mm (Film 1) and Blu-Ray (Films 2-5) Egyptian Theatre • Sat, February 18 • 5:00pm

Julius is the only one that doesn't need any repairs. But, Zaius is the only mold that is still in good condition. And the gorilla soldier is the most comfortable.

I've seen "Escape" and "Rise" on blu-ray in theaters and they look great. Except blu-ray can't compete with film for depth of field. But at 2 AM I'd be blurry-eyed anyway.

Andy Serkis, not likely but with all the publicity...perchance. Best Picture? Not in a million years, but WETA movies have done well with Best Picture noms in the past. All 3 "Lord of the Rings" movies, "Avatar", and the big shocker "District 9" all got Best Pic noms. We'll know in about 4 days.

That's really hard to say. They are both very different movies, so it is an apples and oranges comparison. But if you put a gun to my head; I would say Conquest.
