That's

Actually this as got me thinking about the state of capitalism in
POTA. Does ape city have some form of a capitalist economy( we see
the fruit stall in the first film, do we see money at any point? )
or is there an elemant of central planning. I'm thinking of some
kind of "free" food hand out like ancient Rome.

I don't believe so. Cornelius is up for a raise.
Without money what would they raise?
His food allowance? His Grape Juice
Plus quota? An extra shovel? I don't
think so. Maybe they all had credit.
It's such a small society they probably
don't even sign for it. It's probably done
like a General Store in the Old West.
That's my take on it anyway.

I
don't believe so. Cornelius is up for a raise.
Without
money what would they raise?
His
food allowance? His Grape Juice
Plus
quota? An extra shovel? I don't
think
so. Maybe they all had credit.
It's
such a small society they probably
don't
even sign for it. It's probably done

General Store in the Old West.
That's

I've seen it so many times the lines just jump out at me.
Speaking of which, it's going to be on again, on Sci-Fi at
midnight Tuesday night, which technically I guess would
be Wednesday morning, followed by The Good Seeds.
That's Central, so 1:00 Eastern. Check your local listings.

It seems old comics are new again.
In addition to the new POTA comic
I've learned from the Buckaroo Banzai
Group that they are releasing a brand
new BB comic through Moonstone.
I don't read a lot of comics, but I thought
those who do might be interested. There's
an interview with BB director W. D. Richter
about it at . . .

I think it's good that Sci-Fi shows the movies and shows as often
as they do. They show them more than anyone else does.
FOX
Movies seems to show the new one more. No doubt trying to get
more money out of it. The only ones who'll buy it off them is
they themselves. Sounds like a time travel conundrum.

They DO have a monetary system... Otherwise, Cornelius wouldn't have mentioned "being up for a raise"... Also, there was the fruit stand, but there was also the clothier, and it's certain that they
weren't about to give those suits away for free...
And, in the TV series, gold is definitely a source of wealth to them... And, they mention the "rich apes in the government" as being the land owners, etc. <.html

.htmlYup. I don't know any better. I'm originaly from Mass. Your Sis
probably has the right idea! Things are getting better though. No
more eating MRE's but everything is short handed so even Taco Bell
closes by 8pm. Wal-mart is no longer 24hrs. Its strange. Things slowy
begin to re-open. I now have the Miss. Gulf coast route of all things
and it is surprisingly busy. Only 5 stores directly on the beach have
not re-opened on my new route. My old French Quarter route still has
not began running. There is about 6 of my old stops that have been
getting service once in a while. Ice Cream seems to be a comfort food
because once power is restored the calls for service come rolling in.
New Orleans seems to be taking much longer to be up and running.
Still power issues and lots of damaged areas that I still can't see
ever being the same. All things concidered, I am doing well and plan
on staying in this pool of filth I now call home.

I agree with Ty about pota 2001, the Thade character was great but the other characters were underdeveloped. Ari was probably the weakness
next to Leo. Elaine
I have to disagree. I thought Ari's character was the most
developed of the entire cast. Thade was a very one dimensional
character. All snarl and growl. You can't tell me all that was just
because Ari wouldn't go out with him. There had to be more to it.
He did snarl and growl a lot, didn't he? I guess he just reminds me of many of the patients I have had throughout the years. I had high expectations regarding Ari's character since Helena Bonham
Carter was playing the part. Elaine

Hi There Joe
Welcome to the POTADG.
We have been hearing from Ty for the past week or so on
various subjects and may I say I am absolutely knocked out that both of you
give a crap about what the fans might think.
POTA has been treated like shit over the years (would you
agree?) and it is CRITICAL to the franchise that people doing Action Figures,
Comics etc are not just here to make a quick buck because that attitude is
KILLING Planet of the Apes’ chances.
Personally, I am hoping to see CLASSIC POTA become a
resurrected franchise (similar to the successful Robocop and Battlestar Galactica resurgence).
Am I getting ahead of myself or are you
hoping for the same?
Michael

Thanks, glad to be here.
With regard to how PotA’s been
treated over the years, it seems to me that people have approached it by moving
away from all the things that made the movies so memorable in the first place.
Ty and I were adamant about remaining true not just to the material, but to the
spirit of the material – not just the characters and situations but what
they’re supposed to represent.
I think it’d be great to see PotA
return in some form, so long as it was done well and not just an attempt to
cash in on the name value. BATTLESTAR’s a great example of taking
something old and making it really fresh and relevant – far more so than
its original, in fact, though that’s rare.

Thanks, glad to be here.
With regard to how PotA’s been
treated over the years, it seems to me that people have approached it by moving
away from all the things that made the movies so memorable in the first
place. Ty and I were adamant about remaining true not just to the
material, but to the spirit of the material – not just the characters and
situations but what they’re supposed to represent.
I think it’d be great to see PotA
return in some form, so long as it was done well and not just an attempt to
cash in on the name value. BATTLESTAR’s a great example of taking
something old and making it really fresh and relevant – far more so than
its original, in fact, though that’s rare.

Glad to know we won you back!
We didn’t sit down and deliberately
say “Okay, we have to figure a way to jam EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in here!”
We just structured each book as a chapter of the main story and a backup. Our
main story takes place immediately post-CONQUEST, and the backups can take
place anywhere. So it just sort of flowed organically from those early
choices.
The PotA universe is such a vast one,
really epic in scope, so why wouldn’t we want to explore as much of it as
possible?

Well, I wasn’t involved with the
ROBO TV series – that was a separate deal. In 1999 I was approached
by a producer-director friend of mine by the name of Julian Grant, who had been
asked by the company that held the ROBO rights to resurrect the character in a
miniseries. So I and my writing partner at the time set about devising this
monster eight-hour story called ROBOCOP: PRIME DIRECTIVES. It suffered at
time from a TV budget, but I’m mostly happy with it. It got a fair
amount of airplay on the SciFi Channel in the
US , as well as overseas.
As for an APES revival series? Anything’s
possible, particularly with Hollywood
being so remake crazy these days. But first I think they have to let
enough time pass for people to truly forget the
Burton picture, which I don’t think
anybody was happy with, including the filmmakers.

.htmlTom Fowlers art has to be the most exciting part of this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their local comic shops won't
normaly be looking for the latest Apes project.

I’m still working on issue five right
now, so all I’m thinking about is bringing the story we’re telling
now to a satisfying conclusion. Beyond that, I dunno. I think I’d like
to explore other aspects of the APES universe, though, and not just the
timeline I’m working with now. I think of this as an anthology series,
with lots of different stories. So the next story, assuming that happens,
probably wouldn’t even be called REVOLUTION ON . . . for example.

I think we’re mostly sticking with
what we know on the backups. There aren’t any existing characters in
that time period, so its tough to invent one who works AND tell a satisfying story
in just five pages. Then again, never say never. It’s really Ty’s
call, since he writes the backup stories.

I really dig the name “REVOLUTION ON…”
– it really fits without trying as did the 4 sequels!
When I was a kid and I wrote POTA stories I named one “A Different Ship
Lands On…..”. I really
could have done better! J

I’m still working on issue five right now, so
all I’m thinking about is bringing the story we’re telling now to a
satisfying conclusion. Beyond that, I dunno. I think I’d like
to explore other aspects of the APES universe, though, and not just the
timeline I’m working with now. I think of this as an anthology
series, with lots of different stories. So the next story, assuming that
happens, probably wouldn’t even be called REVOLUTION ON . . . for
example.

So any hints as to what sort of direction the
comic will head in
after the first six issues? Have you guys actually
got anything
plotted that far ahead or are you waiting to see
how it goes first?

Tom Fowlers art has to be the most exciting part of
this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.

It’s funny, our first one hasn’t
even hit the stands and that’s probably the single most asked question.
The answer is still “We have no idea.” It’s nearly 100%
dependent on how well the first six sell. So get out there and tell all
your friends. Spread the word. Go to your local comics retailer and
tell them you want them to order the book. It really does make a
difference.

Yeah, Tom’s art is awesome, isn’t
it? We got him because Ty asked nicely, and I have blackmail photos. Really,
he couldn’t say no.
With respect to all, one of our goals on
this book is to bring in people who might not necessarily be APES fans, and I
think you’re right about Tom’s art being a crucial part of that.

.htmlIt would probably be harder to get readers to care about these new
characters they have no attachment to without spending a great deal
of time establishing the new characters. A luxury most comics can't
afford to take. Too much down time. I could be wrong.

It’s funny, our first one
hasn’t even hit the stands and that’s probably the single most
asked question. The answer is still “We have no idea.”
It’s nearly 100% dependent on how well the first six sell. So get
out there and tell all your friends. Spread the word. Go to your
local comics retailer and tell them you want them to order the book. It
really does make a difference.

-- Ty in the past you have been involved in many of the comics based
on the Animated Batman show and I was wondering what you would think
about a new animated version of POTA.
Is this the sort of direction you could see Apes going in? Do you
think something like an animated show would work and if it did would
you like to be involved in any comics based on it?

That’s SO important. We have actually done a few comics
ourselves and the comment was made about “BEWARE THE BEAST” that its’ appeal as a comic book has a VERY limited
audience…..
However the art is something EVERYONE
(even my wife, who HATES PotA!) seems to admire
(thanks Neil!).
I am proud as hell of it, publisher
material or not!
It is great to see such heavyweight names involved – was this just a
fluke or was it planned to get so many heavyweights involved?

Yeah, Tom’s art is awesome, isn’t
it? We got him because Ty asked nicely, and I have blackmail
photos. Really, he couldn’t say no.
With respect to all, one of our goals on this book is
to bring in people who might not necessarily be APES fans, and I think you’re
right about Tom’s art being a crucial part of that.

Tom Fowlers art has
to be the most exciting part of this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their
local comic shops won't
normaly be looking for the latest Apes project.

Well, as a 33yr. old kid in
his Slipknot t-shirt who skates to his
local comic shop with his 5yr. old son, I have to
say we are both
very excited and can't wait till the first issue
finally makes it out
to the stores.

Nope. I’m a hobbyist 3D

professional comics art. My hand drawing is rotten bad. Why do you

Tom Fowlers art has to be the most exciting part of
this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their
local comic shops won't
normaly be looking for the latest Apes project.

The advantage to working with a guy like
Ty is that he has a LOT of heavyweight friends
that he can call on. And, uh, me.

That’s SO
important. We have actually done a few comics ourselves and the comment
was made about “BEWARE THE BEAST” that its’ appeal as a comic
book has a VERY limited audience…..
However the art is
something EVERYONE (even my wife, who HATES PotA!) seems to admire (thanks
Neil!).
I am proud as hell of it,
publisher material or not!
It is great to see such heavyweight names involved – was this just a
fluke or was it planned to get so many heavyweights involved?

Yeah,
Tom’s art is awesome, isn’t it? We got him because Ty asked
nicely, and I have blackmail photos. Really, he couldn’t say
no.
With respect
to all, one of our goals on this book is to bring in people who might not necessarily
be APES fans, and I think you’re right about Tom’s art being a
crucial part of that.

Believe it or not, Joe and I went back and forth on a

.htmlI'm a firm believer that CHARACTER drives these stories. The one
main problem I always had with both the Adventure comics line, (And the
TV series as well) was the missing characters from the main franchise.

.htmlWow. Thanks! My Dad let me stay up and watch the POTA Tv show with
him when I was a kid and those are some of my most fond memories. I
truly enjoy getting to share POTA with my son and this new comic has
really got him excited. We even made iron-on t-shirts with Tom's art
on it. (he has one of your Batman inspired Face off too, Neil)

That comic, NIGHT, is drawn and painted by

He’s going to be a superstar, that guy.

Nope. I’m a

Tom Fowlers art has to be the most exciting part of this
project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their
local comic shops won't
normaly be looking for the latest Apes project.

Tom Fowlers art has to be the
most exciting part of this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their
local comic shops won't

I'm a firm believer that CHARACTER drives these
stories. The one main problem I always had with both the Adventure comics
line, (And the TV series as well) was the missing characters from the main
franchise.

The advantage to working with a guy like Ty

That’s
SO important. We have actually done a few comics ourselves and the
comment was made about “BEWARE THE BEAST” that its’ appeal as
a comic book has a VERY limited audience…..
However
the art is something EVERYONE (even my wife, who HATES PotA!) seems to admire
(thanks Neil!).
I am
proud as hell of it, publisher material or not!
It is great to see such heavyweight names involved – was this just a fluke
or was it planned to get so many heavyweights involved?

Yeah, Tom’s art is awesome, isn’t
it? We got him because Ty asked nicely, and I have blackmail
photos. Really, he couldn’t say no.
With respect to all, one of our goals on this book is
to bring in people who might not necessarily be APES fans, and I think
you’re right about Tom’s art being a crucial part of that.

Looks

Was it
ATILLA who illustrated the back-story for issue #1 of REVOLUTION?

Tom Fowlers art has to be the most exciting part of
this project for
me. It is dark, twisted and like nothing we have
seen in the POTA
universe to date. How was he lured to this project
and is he a big
fan of the franchise? Or is his unique take on the
POTA world because
it is an outside view. I truly believe his style
will lure people who
are not fans and wouldn't normally give Planet of
the Apes a chance.
Kids wearing Slipknot shirts skating to their
local comic shops won't
normaly be looking for the latest Apes project.

I'm a firm believer that CHARACTER drives these
stories. The one main problem I always had with both the Adventure comics
line, (And the TV series as well) was the missing characters from the main
franchise.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but look at it this way: Every one of the films had NEW characters that were introduced... They were ALL new at one point... Ursus was a
NEW figure introduced in BENEATH, wasn't he? And Milo was NEW in ESCAPE...
You shouldn't just limit yourself to the same figures over and over, because creating scenarios for them just for the sake of having them (and their names) in there just isn't right either...
The films (great as they are) are limited... I mean there's only so many times you can tell a Zira and Cornelius story isn't there...
That's the one thing that WAS good about the TV series, they didn't try to showcase every existing character... They went ahead and created new ones... That's what you'll need too...
Yourself and others here keep saying how you want to make APES for today's audience, well showcasing characters from old films that these "SlipKnot" kids aren't going to watch anyway isn't the way
to do it... If you want to get a new audience, you'll need to have original apes in there...

.htmlGrummet is currently exclusive to Marvel, and cannot wander from the yard.
Sorry...he did say yes to a cover at one point, and then BAM! He falls prey to the Marvel exclusive contract.
Grummet's a great guy, and an old friend, and I saved his life in Korea, years ago, so he owes me.
