I'm so sorry to hear about the recent passing of several actors on the #1 sci-fi series of all time:  Planet of the Apes.  My condolences go to the families of Biff Elliot and William Windom.   Zach            -------Original Message-------   From: jamesa1102 Date: 8/18/2012 9:42:45 AM To: pota@yahoogroups.com Subject: [pota] RIP Biff Elliot     We are saddened by the news that character actor Biff Elliot passed last Wednesday at the age of 89.

So, the "Dawn of the POTA" script is still a work in progress and who knows where it will land. Will James Franco, Frieda Pinto or Brian Cox return? I dunno, but Fox seemed quick to lock down Andy Serkis, and for a terrific salary. So I don't hold out much hope for the human characters, who would presumably get a pay raise for returning to a successful franchise. The human characters weren't exactly celebrated from "Rise". The only actor to say anything was Frieda Pinto, who said she hadn't heard anything but would love to return.
I'll just say I would love to see the original actors return and expand on their characters. But I could see where budget would suggest casting new human characters, and that's where I'm here to help. As we know, there were many references in "Rise" to the original POTA movies, and they rubbed some fans the wrong way. So how about some casting that I think POTA fans would enjoy and which would be more subtle than movie quotes?

Jackie Earle Haley: He, of course played Kraik in "The Legacy" episode of the POTA TV show. I would love to see him return to the POTA universe 40 years later. This is not pie in the sky. He's had an incredible time the last few years, getting an Oscar nomination, working for directors like Scorsese, Spielberg and, yes, Burton. Come on, his recent casting is for the "Robocop" remake. It's time for Jackie to come home. If it's possible, he should return to the POTA.

Katee Sackhoff: Who? She played Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in the recent "Battlestar Galactica". I LOVE that series and have it on blu-ray. But that's not what I'm talking about. The main creative force on that series (at least from the writing) was Ronald D. Moore, who after a decade working on "Star Trek" episodes, was ready for the anti-"Trek". Of course, in the '60's, POTA was the anti-Trek. As it turns out, Moore is a big POTA fan and sprinkled POTA refs in his "Battlestar". But mainly, in the episode "Sometimes A Great Notion", "Starbuck" is referred to as the "Harbinger of Death", a direct POTA reference when she discovers >CENSORED!< . And when she's looking for her destiny in the same episode, she's told, "You may not like what you find". So, come on! If the "Harbinger of Death" has no place in the new POTA movies, then there is no God. Did I say that?

Both of those are not just stunt casting. I have been blown away by their acting and I'm sure if they did a role in "Dawn of the POTA" they would rock. Besides that, I think it would be fun if they were cast. So those are my ideas. It would be interesting to hear yours (let's be realistic; no Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis).

The last time I talked to him he looked over

to the table where the line went all the way

around all the other tables. He motioned

over towards the table and asked me,

"Who's that?"  "Kim Hunter" I told him.

"Oh!...The Real Deal!" he said. Class act.

He was one of the most visible "character" actors ever, spanning a carreer from the 40's to the 2000's during which he had small roles in just about every TV show imaginable (drama, comedy, western, cop, etc), tons of movies and even "voice" acting. No wonder he had an Ape appearance. Check out his exhaustive IMDB entry. The don't make them like this anymore. He will be missed

Maybe it was his favorite movie, but a star like Brad Pitt could've got a good POTA movie rolling back before Burton. Hollywood had no idea what to do with POTA until Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver came up with their idea on a whim. Nobody knows anything.

There's no direct reference in the movies but I think their flight is one of a kind, perhaps a suicide mission. But the moon landing is mentioned in "Escape".
I'm still trying to figure out who the "Marshall" is that's referenced in the NATO footage.

Well, I've always assumed Taylor's flight was the first of its kind, though the absurdity of it leaving in 1972 really started to sink in with me about... oh...1972! Hard to imagine now that there would have been anything before then.

In the Boulle novel, Professor Antelle's interstellar mission is called by Merou "the first interstellar flight," and "the most ambitious (project) that had ever been concieved on Earth."

I think the filmmakers had that same idea in mind with the movie adaptation, but, of course, it's not directly stated, though there seems no indication from the astronauts' dialogue that they're not the first of their kind in this respect.

Yeah...unless it was favorite enough to take a large pay cut

all the top guys would have gone over budget with makeup & FX.

In the NATO film Taylor says it's man's first journey to a star, but it is never directly stated in the film itself. However, it may be infered from Taylor's comment to Landon, 'when they nominated you for the big one, you couldn't turn it down'.

Last Saturday, Jane Goodall spoke about Tarzan at the annual Edgar Rice Burroughs celebration (called a Dum-Dum, after the ritual Tarzan's apes attend). 2012 is the 100th anniversary of Burrough's two most famous creations: "John Carter of Mars", first published in February 1912 (the same month Pierre Boulle was born); and "Tarzan of the Apes" (October 1912). Between the two of them there's gotta be some POTA DNA somewhere. "John Carter" was perhaps the granddaddy of the "space opera". "Tarzan" was an early examination of the relationship between Man and Ape (Eric Greene considers it POTA in reverse).
Goodall has a full plate and it's rare for her to talk about fictional characters. But Tarzan is what inspired her to go to Africa in the first place and shows the importance of fiction in our lives. As a kid she was also a fan of the "Dr. Dolittle" books. Of course, Arthur Jacobs brought that to cinemas at the same time as POTA.

For a little more on Jane Goodall, get the DVD of "Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees" (originally an IMAX movie from 2002), very well done, with a nice soundtrack by South African Johnny Clegg.

Nice topic. I don't have a problem with some of the ones you mention except the last. Yeah, I do cringe with the chanting, and the quip at the end by MacDonald deserves some ape to hit him over the head.

Mine would be the need for a better gorilla suit in Escape. An ice cream van playing its music to join the school bus and assorted vehicles in Battle (I joke, but if you have a school bus, why just stop there?). Oh, and I know that they were on a tight budget, but blowing up the same tree in Battle got a bit old after the third attempt.

I have, finally, read EXILE #4 and it is a great end to the saga---with a killer final page.I love Marc Laming's art--it just feels perfect for Apes.The Declan Shalvey cover of the Helmet on the Rifle is wonderful--a really iconic feel to it.Still a bit bemused by the end to the main series in #16, however!

Catching up a bit:

1.A friend watched Brad Pitt's Actor's Studio appearance and tells me Brad is a huge Apes fan who used to go to the Ape marathon screenings.There was I thinking. 'Yes, you've got the looks, Angelina and millions of bucks, but you don't have Apes like me'.Now I just hate him.

2.Drayton Manot Theme Park over here had a survey on out favourite sounds--Number 1 is waves on rocks (works for me) and No 6 is crackling fire (so THAT'S why I love CONQUEST!!)

3.Could we get BOOM! to do a young Galen/young Urko story, or ven the story of Gale and Kira's split? There's the iconic TV Series image on the cover of the Annual, so why not go there?

4.TOTAL FILM mag did a poll on what folk wanted from DAWN--it was tongue-in-cheek, but shows that there is at least some rumbling publicity already.

5.Can TED REALLY be out -performing PROMETHEUS at the box office??!!

6.ScFiNow mag this month has a top ten sci fi time paradoxes feature and DOESN'T include Apes??!! The Terminator is No.1

7.Fans are restoring the Lars Homestead in Tunisia---are there ANY bits of Ape City we could preserve/restore?

8.Allen Fuqua (snort!snigger!) is a guy doing a photo project of scenes from movies, where he photographs sites to re-create the movie shot--he's done the ROTPOTA scene of the Apes looking down on the winding road leading to San Francisco.Not sure if he's got a web site.

9.I have no life.

John, Scrolls.

I agree that Caesar was made to look like more like a classic POTA ape. But I don't think the same is true of Buck.

It would be interesting to see some more of the back story of the TV series. But, the series might require a separate license from FOX. The 2001 requires a separate license. I remember Ty and Joe talking about this because their first concept for Revolution was Thade versus Caesar but FOX wouldn't give them a license for 2001. Same might be true for the TV series. There might also be legal reasons in terms of paying the writers who created the various characters.

What were the poll results?

Rory......
When you mentioned that Fox handles sci-fi poorly, is the reason
Goerge Lucas handle Star Wars the way he did. He already new how
Fox is with sci-fi/fantasy projects, so he arranged to just use
Fox as a distributor only of his work.....You see the results!
The Star Wars franchise has done very well under George's direction!

If APJAC did POTA the same way Gerge Lucas did Star Wars, POTA
would be having the similar fan support and success today.

Just a thought.

In this interview about his music for "Brave", Patrick Doyle sez he's in talks about returning for the sequels to "Apes" and "Thor". I would think it would be a foregone conclusion that Doyle would return (less so for "Thor" since it's a new director). But maybe he won't be back. Doyle has done a sequel before ("Harry Potter 4") but he's never revisited one of his own scores.

I recently read an article where Lucas said that Star Wars was about the Vietnam War.I think I'd cracked three ribs before I stopped laughing.Next he'll be telling us he planned a double /treble trilogy all along.....John, Scrolls.

I really hope Patrick Doyle does came back--parts of his RISE score are amongst my favourite Apes music.He's got good reviews for his score for the Pixar Scottish Movie--The Life of Maxwell.John, Scrolls.
