My son would love a "Return" coloring book for me to print out like
the ones on Hunter's site. What a great Idea Michael. Why don't you
get right on that? Oh, yeah. Cause all you'll have to do is come up
with some horrible captions. That ought to hold your interest too.
Smart ASS!  :)

Yes, "Young Dr. Zaius in Love." Romance is not featured enough on the
Planet of the Apes. He can have an affair with one of his fellow
students during his rise to power. It could help explain some of his
hostilities.

Why bother doing that, why not just start with totally original

also wanted some sort of closure for the current characters.

I agree.  In fact, I simply delete most posts (which is why I miss some things), but I simply don't have the time to read everything.

-- I think this says nothing about POTA which is what people on the
group have just been complaining about!

Neil

Fox is kind of POTA related.  Knowing the studio that holds the rights to it is kind of important.

What bugs me most is when I open a post it it's just a one word response to something, especially something stupid.  I do it myself too often, but I don't like it and it's what eventually starts my delete button going.

BG?  What's that?  Bing Gong?

Isn't Richard Hatch the naked dude from Survivor?

 

It says the first films and the remake WILL EACH HAVE A BONUS DISC.

 

This means Beneath, Escape, Conquest and Battle will have bonus discs.

 

So it is possible that these extra discs will include alternative CONQUEST and Extended Battle.

 

And what would be on a bonus disc for Beneath and Escape?  One would assume some deleted scenes somewhere!

I've read somewhere There is cut parts of Beneath that were filmed under water and Escape has a view from the front of the ship where the Earth explodes. Maybe it could be just that? I just know if I buy this POTA Legacy set my wife is going to go Ape shit on me!
