Michael


Here's the cover I said I was working on based on the cover of the original PLANET LP of the Jerry Goldsmith score.  I've scanned elements of it and rearranged them, but I also had to scan two of the ads in the PLANET pressbook to show more of the cage (and fitting them together wasn't easy!).  I also flipped the color photo of Zaius on the LP cover because all these years we've been looking at it backwards!  Finally I added to the top of the cover the Fox Home Video "Studio Classics" banner.  (I wish the studio would release all it films that are pre-1975 as "Studio Classics.")

Anyway, this is basically the same as the PLANET 1-sheet, but I've always liked it.  It's elegant and doesn't sell the movie as anything less than a serious film.  I thought about adding more photo elements, but then it becomes too busy and crowded, but I'll keep thinking about it, so I should have further versions in the future.

-- Sure, okay then. I'll start thinking about this today and see what
images I can come up with in my head.
As soon as something pops up in there and slowly makes the tortured

Yeah, Fox would have been working on this new transfer for BATTLE months ago if not years.  It is just a coincidence that after the petition was started this statement from Fox comes out, but that's what I think the petition actually did -- get a statement from Fox.

Anyway, who cares?  The extended BATTLE is now going to be out in anamorphic DVD.  Great news for those that love BATTLE.  Now... I wonder if they've cleaned up the bad dialogue recordings?

At least this gives us something to wonder about for a couple months.

-- This one for Planet would have been good as well except for some reason they plonked part of a Beneath poster on top of the Planet one!:

Nothing makes me madder than when images from BENEATH slip into covers for PLANET, but it's been happening for years.  Usually any shot of Taylor and Nova on a horse in a PLANET cover is actually from BENEATH.

The 35th Anniversary covers for PLANET actually featured mostly images from BENEATH!  I don't look at it.  I promptly made up my own cover, put that in a case and just put the two DVDs into that, which is exactly what I'm going to do with the new releases.  Those lousy covers just get put into the closet.

I don't think those that work at Fox know or care about these things.

(In fact we didn't, we drove all the others to extinction!)

Anyway, how about a story that takes place deep in the era of the apes pre-history, when there were small "civil wars" between the apes.  Then we could have a comic that's all apes -- and no damn dirty humans!

.html I was reading up on this and the Battle for the Planet of the apes that's coming out and I have a couple questions? The Battle that's out is 86 min compared to the uncut version the're planning to put out next month is 93 minutes. That's nice and all but the uncut version I have is 123 minutes? What happened to the rest of the footage? The're only adding the Alpha and Omega footage to it is my guess? My version has added dialog as wel as the bomb scenes. Leave it to fox to half ass a project.<.html

My turn.

(1) Movies. I saw all the movies before I got into anything else.
(2) Curtis Magazines. I read #1 so many times it started to fall
appart on me.
(3) The novelizations of the sequels. I got 'conquest' first. Then
slowly the others and it was only by the mid eighties that I got
boulle's "Monkey Planet" to read. The extra twist in the story was
an especially nice surprise.
(4) TOYS AND COLLECTIBLES
(5) MORE TOYS AND COLLECTIBLES (STILL ONGOING!)

Well, for me, I'd like to see another Burke & Virdon story where they
venture through the Forbidden Zone and wind up in an encounter with
Jason and Alexander. Then they all wind up in a major "crossfire"
situation, now being chased on one side by Urko and by Brutus on the
other.
If we have to go with a Taylor story of himm heading in the other
direction then how about....
Stewart survives and joins the expedition, they still have a helluva
trek thru the area that they finallly "land" on but, for action and
adventure's sake, encounter an ape society that his even more brutal
than we have seen before. The astronauts have inner turmoil between
Taylor and Landon both wanting to "lay claim" on Stewart and, when they
first enounter the apes, the apes themselves don't know what to make of
Dodge, never having seen a human like him before. On a lesser note,
they are intrigued somewhat by the human female with the golden hair.

I like the idea of your story about Zira so if you could map that for us first that would be best I think.

 

Do you want storyboards?

Or just a script?

Should we do this live or privately?  Up to the group – do you guys want to see it all before it happens or do you want it done behind closed doors?

What I would also like is to have 2 other different threads in this story – the Zaius story Rory wants

 

Here's my thoughts on that.  I don't think that everyone should know

everything that's going into the new comic.  Even though a rough

treatment of my thread has already been published on the group,

people were still asking, "What's T's Story?"  And I think half

the fun of reading a comic is wondering what's next.  That's

what makes it a page-turner.  So I have no problem with

anyone else contributing to my Zira storyline, as I hope

Rory would have no problem with me doing the same

with Zaius'.  But I don't think either should know

what the other is working on.  It's up to you

and Neil to be the editors and weave the

best of the threads into the final story.

That way the finished product will

still be at least a partial surprise

to almost everyone.  I feel bad

for Neil, being the artist that

he is, he always has to

know what's in the

final storyline.

Okay, I'll try and have something next week.

This whole going in the other direction could be like a 'Planet

the first things that I thought about and wanted to do. The same
basic idea can even tie in the TV series and the Cartoon show with
the movie covers as well if needed.

I was reading up on this and the Battle for the Planet of the apes that's coming out and I have a couple questions? The Battle that's out is 86 min compared to the uncut version the're planning to put out next month is 93 minutes. That's nice and all but the uncut version I have is 123 minutes? What happened to the rest of the footage? The're only adding the Alpha and Omega footage to it is my guess? My version has added dialog as wel as the bomb scenes. Leave it to fox to half ass a project.

Neil has posted the final page of Going Home (Pt 1).

When he sent it to me the other day I got the same chill I felt when he sent
me a page of Beware the Beast (where Gideon comes across the ship).

People at my work (who do not like POTA) have commented on it, as they did
on that same BTB page.

I would love to see Neil remove the text and the top panel and make a poster
of this page.

What do the rest of you think?

Oh - and now might be a good time for a "summary" comment on how you liked
(or didn't lie) the entire first part.........

Good God!  123 minutes of BATTLE!  That would be the kind of torture George Bush could use!
