info on his "Star Wars" character, Supreme Commander Snoke (for those familiar
with SW, he sounds like this trilogy's version of the Emperor, a very important
dude). J. J. Abrams picked Serkis to be his actor/motion capture
expert after a very early screening of "Dawn of the POTA" given by his close pal
Matt Reeves. "The Force Awakens" is slated to be the movie event of the year and
might finally dethrone James (almost POTA) Cameron from the top of the box
office after 18 years.

They also have to work around Andy directing "The
Jungle Book", a HUGE time commitment. Probably they'll shoot whenever Andy is
available.
Fun fact: Frieda ("Rise") Pinto has been cast in
Andy's "Jungle Book".

You're preaching to the choir... I thought a "Conquest" trio would have been the way to go too, but it's not the way they're planning it... The way it looks now, if and when the Orangutan is released, they'll probably team him up with a "Battle" Caesar and Virgil...

One might be cynical and assume this way the
"Conquest" fans have to buy an Aldo as well as the orang and boost sales (which
is needed). Or maybe a "soldier ape" included boosts sales. Probably the orang
was an afterthought and it was too late. In any case, I think it ruins the
3-pack (for collectors that keep them in the box). If it were me I'd make the
switch (unless boxes were already printed). I don't think it helps sales in the
long run (either people buy apes or they don't). In the end they'll have a
3-pack that is "off" for eternity. When Cornelius digs up the box after we're
all long gone he'll assume humans had bad taste.

60,000 square foot studio was at it's peak when he did POTA but recently it's
been used so one guy could create one set of teeth. Rick auctioned off his

| Subject: The "Dawn" Patrol stands down |
.html
.html
With 2015 almost half over, it seemed safe to
finalize how "Dawn of the POTA" did in 2014. All the "American
Sniper"s-come-lately have been tallied, so let's see how "Dawn" did.
DOMESTIC (U.S. and Canada):
Every year has it's surprises and certainly
"American Sniper" was one of them. It really was a 2015 movie but it had a
limited run in 2014 to qualify for the Oscars so technically it's a 2014 film.
And as such, it knocked "Dawn" out of the Top 10. It's incredible success was
wild and while people were divided about it's merits, the fact that an "R"-rated
drama could rub shoulders with the big boys does help the industry consider
making more and perhaps increase the budgets. Uncomfy dramas are
important.
1. "American Sniper" - $350 million
2. "Hunger Games 3" - $337 m.
3. "Guardians of the G" - $333 m.
4. "Cap 2" - $260 m.
5. "LEGO" - $258 m.
6. "Hobbit 3" - $255 m.
7. "Transformers 4" - $245 m.
8. "Maleficent" - $241 m.
9. "X-Men 5" - $234 m.
10. "Big Hero 6" - $223 m.
11. "Dawn of the POTA" - $209 m.
WORLDWIDE:
2014 became well known as a down year, with only
one blockbuster to pass $1 billion (2015 has already had 2, with more almost
certain to come). These days, with the importance of foreign markets, it can be
pretty much predicted at the beginning of the year what the Top 10 will look
like. There's always surprises and some movies don't perform as expected
(usually because they suck, the great unknown until a movie arrives). But
generally in these franchise-crazed times, the Top 10 is the usual suspects. All
I can say is I'm glad POTA is now one of the usual suspects and I hope it
continues.
1. "Transformers" - $1 billion
2. "Hobbit 3" - $955 m.
3. "Guardians of the Galaxy" - $774
m.
4. "Maleficent" - $758 m.
5. "Hunger Games 3" - $752 m.
6. "X-Men 5" - $748 m.
7. "Capt. America 2" - $715 m.
8. "Spidey" - $709 m.
9. "Dawn of the POTA" - $708.8 m.
10. "Interstellar" - $673 m.

| Subject: OT: Jaws at 40 |
.html
.html
Today (June 20) is the 40th anniversary of the
release of "Jaws". What does that have to do with POTA? Well, there is a big
connection to me. I became an Apes fan with the TV show in late 1974. It didn't
last long but it stayed in my mind long after. "Jaws" came out the next summer
and was my next passion. "Jaws" was HUGE! 40 years later we're so spoiled by FX
extravaganzas but come on! The craftsmanship of POTA and "Jaws" were rare then.
Both were "bad animal" movies with top notch FX, early works by movie composers
who would become legend (Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams, respectively) and
both owed their existence to Richard Zanuck. The main boosters for POTA were
Arthur Jacobs and Mort Abrahams, without whose persistence the movie wouldn't
have been possible. But still, Zanuck was the only studio head willing to listen
and eventually give the green light.
When Zanuck got the boot from Fox, he took his
Fox cohort David Brown and they started producing their own movies ("The Sting",
the John Chambers-centric "Sssss"). One of their biggest early successes was
rolling the dice on young Steven Spielberg with "Sugarland Express". While doing
that, Spielberg saw the galleys for the book "Jaws" that Zanuck/Brown had bought
and the rest is history. An interesting side note is that "Jaws" might have
starred Charlton Heston and Linda Harrison. Heston was definitely in the mix
until Spielberg decided a movie star would distract people from the story. As
for the role of Sheriff Brody's wife, it came down to Zanuck's wife (Linda
Harrison) or the head of Universal's wife Lorraine Gary . Gary won and to be
honest I can't imagine "Jaws" without Roy Scheider and Lorraine Gary; Spielberg
was right.
There have been many "Jaws" docs over the years
but once again I'll mention "The Shark Is Working". Made by a bunch of "Jaws"
fans, I think it foreshadowed what we're seeing now with Kickstarter where fans
are making their own docs and other fans are paying for them. Personally, I
enjoy the work of fans more than the slick work done by the studios to promote
their stuff. I remember posting here about the doc, which was finished but
couldn't be shown because they didn't have the rights to the "Jaws" clips. I
thought the obvious thing was to put it on a DVD release of "Jaws" and that's
eventually what was done. I just watched it again before writing this and it's
just a blast. POTA has a terrific doc called "Behind the POTA" but I would love
to see a doc similar to "The Shark" about the impact of POTA and how the fans
have carried it on. Obviously people think of sci-fi when they think of rabid
fans. Even as a fan of "Jaws" I never thought there were pilgrimages to Martha's
Vineyard and all the stuff in the doc. It's a lot of fun.
One of the main reasons I brought the doc
up here was the late Percy Rodrigues. They interviewed him as well as many
others who are no longer with us (Roy Scheider was nice to narrate the doc).
POTA fans know Percy as Aboro on the POTA TV show. But he became quite the voice
of movie trailers in the '70's and "Jaws" was perhaps his most memorable.
As director Kevin Smith sez: "(Percy) was the gateway for a lot of people into
the "Jaws" universe. He was like the weed to what would become the crack of
Jaws".
So, I can't help but think of POTA and Jaws as
bros. Obviously they have different messages: Jaws' goal is to kill the animal
(it's creator Peter Benchley spent the rest of his life trying to save sharks
and give them a better reputation) while POTA has "bad animals" but it also has
good ones to balance it out. In the end POTA probably carries more weight but
"Jaws" has a lot to say about the human condition. They will both be the
ultimate loves of my childhood, so thank you "Jaws" and Happy
Anniversary.

Hey guys thanks for accepting me to this group, so I'm Joey and I'm new so to introduce myself I'll just say that I'm eighteen and I'm the only person I know who cares more about the Planet of the Apes franchise than my future. Anyways, like my subject suggests, I've recently been trying to define my view on the Apes canon (seems like something that's pretty debated). So, I just bought Rich Handley's definitive timeline and, since I'm also reading BOOM! Studios ongoing comic series from 2011, I'm noticing the 'canon' of the original pentalogy universe (if that's what you call things fitting into the timeline of the original movies) often contradicts itself (e.i. the conspiracy regarding the Lawgiver and the fake writing of the Sacred Scrolls, the apes culture seeming different when depicted by different publishers, etc...). I'm just wondering what fans generally regard as canon and what things they just sort of ignore (if
anything). I was inspired to ask because I'd been pretty comfortable assuming there was just the one Lawgiver (the one shown in Battle) however apparently there are references to multiple in some Marvel and Malibu comics and I think I'm just gonna ignore that fact. Anyways, let me know what you think.

In regard to your question about canon, a basic rule of thumb for most franchises is that only live action films and TV series are considered canon. Everything else (Novels, comics, etc.) are not. This seems the safest bet in my opinion since the films and TV series are what all can agree on. This way BOOM is free to pursue it's own storylines and not have to adhere to what Marvel or Malibu did decades ago. Hope that answers your question.

If you're not willing to accept alternate
timelines, then obviously POTA2001 and the "Rise of the POTA" continuity are not
canon.
Once "Rise" leads back to the original Heston
movie fans will slap themselves and say, "Hey, what?".
But it's really quite simple. "Rise", "Dawn" and
whatever comes next leads to "Planet" and "Beneath", then the ape-o-nauts go
back in time to an alternate 1973, which leads to "Escape", "Conquest",
"Battle", etc. I think pretty much all the books and comic books can survive
under that construction.
POTA2001, we all love it but it's it's own
thing.
So there. Hey! Let go of me! Where are you taking
me?! Zira and Cornelius changed history!! Soylent Green is people!!

Again true. No one involved in the films or TV series has ever made a statement either way on this. >There are so many inconsistancies that a canon covering

Also true. The original films have their own canon, the TV series its own and the reboot films their own canon.

I agree no answer will please every fan but I've
always seen the TV series leading to the original movie. 3085 - 3955 (I don't
use the time mentioned in the original because everything else points to 3955)
is still a long time for clothes, etc. to stay the same but it's less time than
saying it stayed the same since "Battle". And with the Ape empire in California
it gives it some time to make it to New York.
I did a chronology for "Ape Chronicles" in 1994
which was meant to connect everything (books, comics, etc.) and I think it
worked (even then I saw "Escape" as a split in time). But I also said it was
just an experiment to see if everything fit. Each canon should fit the
individual and what they are happy with. I can argue with someone who accepts
that time is a circle where "Battle" leads to "Planet" but I don't begrudge them
that. POTA is meant to be fun, not a bunch of rules.
Rich Handley's book ("Timeline of the
POTA") is awesome but I think he went too far in connecting everything. I
don't see how POTA2001 and Boulle's novel fits. I would put them separately. But
it's a great resource.
I haven't read everything POTA but I don't think
anything really contradicts the movies and TV shows. It's not like "Star Trek"
and "Star Wars" where there's thousands of stories (at this point "Star Wars"
literally has a "story group" that decides what's canon and what isn't). Some
might be squeamish to include crossovers like "Alien Nation" and "Star Trek" but
I think it would work.

It's Al's birthday but he takes the cake anyway.
He's counted down to the release of 3 POTA movies either on websites or twitter
and keeps fans up to date from a variety of angles. Now he's already gone into
battle for "War" (of the POTA):
He's also got the new "Star Wars" movie going, so
he's got both the life-long friends Matt Reeves and J. J. Abrams covered (both
using Andy Serkis for their nefarious purposes).
It's been a blast following his efforts for 15
years, and he's still only 25. Correction: 26. Happy

.html
.html
Today is exactly 2 years before the next POTA
movie is scheduled to hit (7/14/17). No one has denied the rumored title "War of
the POTA" but it hasn't been officially announced yet. Director Matt Reeves
seems to be hanging in there, though he would be only the second director ever
to do 2 POTA movies. It's pretty much assumed this one will end Caesar's story
as a trilogy before moving into the future (put some clothes on those
apes!).
Judging from the title it's safe to assume the
stakes are pretty high in this one. Reeves has said it's going to be epic and a
tough shoot. Though it was 3 years between "Rise" and "Dawn" they lost a year by
switching directors. If Reeves gets the full 3 years with no snags it'll be the
longest production time an Apes movie has ever had (certainly a far cry from the
"movie a year" pace of the originals). Reeves has said he hopes to shoot by the
end of the year. The apes should look better than ever, not only because of the
enhanced post-production time, but also because "Dawn" was a work in progress of
new techniques that they have now mastered (in the DVD commentary Reeves says
that's what WETA explained to him).
As for the story, Reeves sez "given the
trajectory of how (Caesar's) arc has gone from ("Rise") through "Dawn" so
far, what is so exciting to us is that this is sort of his biggest arc yet. We
are going to take him to places that test him in a way that is more painful, and
in ways that he has never been tested before. (We will) test his leadership, and
more than that his heart and soul. There are ways in which the experience he had
with Koba in the last film really creates a context in this story that is going
to be, in a way, his greatest challenge yet. We are very excited about
it...
"(We) know that war is not avoided by the end of
"Dawn". That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with,
where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never, ever, wanted to
deal with, and was hoping he could avoid. And now he is right in the middle of
it. The things that happen in (this) story test him in huge ways, in the ways in
which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply. It's going to be an epic
story... This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a
seminal figure in ape history, and sort of leads to an almost biblical status.
He is going to become like a mythic ape figure, like Moses". (JoBlo.com, Dec.
2014)
Take that as you will.

.html I got mine last week. I'd originally ordered from Entertainment Earth as a pre-order. That was a mistake; they never delivered it, and just a couple of days ago they sent an email saying they never would. They had the lowest price, but claimed they only received a small shipment of stock from NECA. I gave up on them even before they canceled on me, and ordered one from Amazon.com -- $35 more (US$89 vs. the US$54 EE had asked), but Amazon actually shipped it.
It's a nice piece. The material it's made of has a rough finish, almost like concrete, and the whole thing is a nice sand color. It's solid and heavy. The Lawgiver's left arm (the one on the right as you look at it) is in an odd, straight-out pose that doesn't look quite right (and doesn't match the screen-used Lawgiver statue from POTA), but the face and other details are good. I also have the much larger (and, to my eye, much more accurate Sideshow Collectibles Lawgiver (as well as the Medicom plastic one, which is quite good, too).
The NECA looks a little scrawny to my eye (almost as if the whole thing has been stretched a bit vertically), but it's a nice piece, and I'm glad I bought it. Sideshow is the best; this is #2; and the Medicom is #3. All are nice.
Note: I'm in Toronto, but Amazon.com had no qualms about shipping to Canada, and the shipping charge and import fees (just the sales tax) were cheap; Amazon handled the brokerage, and it was delivered four days after I ordered it.

.htmlI got mine from Entertainment Earth back in late April, but when I tried to order another one, I eventually got the response you did. So, I turned to amazon too, however because I have Amazon Prime and because I've put off their credit card pitch for years, I finally relented when I found that if I get the card I can get the Neca Lawgiver for a little less than $10 and no postage charge. It's on its way now and so I'll have two. I like the Sideshow Lawgiver, but I like the Neca one better, which isn't perfect, but looks more screen accurate than the Sideshow.

.htmlI ordered two of these from Amok Time as soon as I could after they were announced. I think I found about that retailer from one of your posts years ago. They shipped them to me very quickly after they were released. I think this version is the best of the three that have been released so far, one of the best collectibles from POTA in my opinion. I really like the "stone" texture of this one, and I think the head sculpt is the most accurate of the three. It would have been nice if the Sideshow version had this coloration and texture. (What I would really like to see would be an Ape City house model made out of this same material.)
I was also really impressed with the NECA version of the standard "long coat" Dr. Zaius. It looks like you could take the makeup off that tiny head and Maurice Evans would be underneath.

I got it from Neca's 'official' eBay seller.
When I contacted them, their attitude was pretty poor.
They said they had none left in stock and the cost to mail it back from Australia to the USA would have been more than the refund amount.
A great experience. From:

At least we know the director is still aboard. He

good title, "World of the POTA"?
