Hi Bill (and Paul) great to have you both here! Can't wait to find out more about your upcoming Audio Drama, I've listened to the preview teaser and it sounds very intriguing.

 

One thing I am interested to find out is, in your advert, it states it features additional scenes and I was just wondering if you could tell us a bit about them if it doesn't give anything away?

 

Cheers,

Neil

Subject: Re: [PotaDG] New member!

 

would love to! I have been a fan of POTA sice I was a kid, racing my bike home to catch ape week after school and the TV series and the animated series...Well anything POTA-LOL! Anyway, I had gotten into writing/mixing/ and voice acting for Darker Projects, A wonderful Audio Drama group I might add, and me and my partners decided to do some stuff that didn't fit the DP cannon. So we are starting BrokenSea audio. All free downloads of our shows with the Best Quality Productions and Fine acting and a whole lot of love and fun to bbot!

 

And well I felt the urge to do POTA. But I wanted to to add a bit here and there and not just do a straight adaption, parts from Boulles book mixed with the actual screenplay (the astronauts at the begininng of the book finally get to be a part of the story for instance) from the movies, and added a few bits I thought would fit and expand on the movies I so love and adore.

 

I hope that helps! If you haven't listened to the trailer for the show yet, it is at our BrokenSea yahoo group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BrokenSea/  in the files section as well as Hunter's wonderful site. We have recieved so much support for this-I cannot thank you all enough for your interest. The website and POTA Audio Drama debut Mar 1, along with a few other shows we are doing, and have many more in the works.

 

Aagin thank you for the invite and the interest. I am trully humbled.

You say "open mind" like it's a good thing. My mind is closed insofar as I have certain expectations from any work of fiction involving characters and situations based on Planet of the Apes. You have already made it clear that your audio drama is not going to meet those expectations. Therefore, I don't need to listen to it to know I won't like it.

 

Entertainment should be more than just a way to kill a day.  Stabbing myself in the thigh with a sharp pencil would take my mind off my day, but I wouldn't enjoy it very much. I try to avoid pain and bad fan fiction crossovers.

What I like best are the way he is expanding on things like Dr Milo's investigation into the crashed ship... and other things.

It is appreciated in a lot of places Bill, they might not be the most
vocal element but...
(I haven't posted much in the last week for a few reasons but I'm sure
a couple of members can guess why)
I look forward to hearing it and you know what ? if the story line
doesn't go in the direction I expect, so what, I'll get over it I'm an
adult, it'll be a fun ride. Just because some one has a different take
on a story line doesn't mean the work in itself isn't good or worthy,
It's just different.
I know we're all "grumpy old men" but I tend to think being open minded
is a good thing until proved otherwise.
So best of luck Bill !!!
Bye, Graham.

Thanks for the link Rory, interesting article, it's the planning and forethought that they show that is interesting, that they actually think through a task.

Oh I did miss read the title of your post for a sec' and thought it said chimps make weapons to hunt scientists ( No comma ) which would have been a whole different story, They could make a film out of that

Well put Dario, don't worry about the rant, we all do it from time to time

I'd join in myself but as you say it's Friday night and well I've already started on the whiskey !!! (I've ran out of southern comfort and not keen on the vodka... but the way things are going the top might just come off that as well ! )

Dear All,

 

This months "Model and Collectors Mart" which is a UK mag, has the first part of a POTA feature on collecting. This month takes in the film history and talks about the books, Sideshow and Apemania. Next month is TV, animation and Burton. It will also look at the big wave of collectables from 73 onwards.

I will try and put it into a PDF or scan it somehow for the

POTADG files.

Am I the only one who perceives the irony in all this?

The same people who want the keep the original POTA pristine and
untainted by novel approaches seem to have forgotten that it original
movie itself was nearly never made because studio heads refused to
tackle such an original idea. Jacobs tried for years to get POTA made
and faced similar opposition. Thankfully one studio exec had the
gonads to give Jacobs a chance. If everyone adapted the thick skinned
approach that some here have expressed then POTA would certainly be
destined to evolve no further.

Honestly, some people act like they are shutins, who want to hide in
their little corner with a copy of POTA in their hands and close off
the rest of the world.

I can only thank my lucky stars that there are people here that still
try to come up with new material. They may not always work. Some are
hits, some are misses. But one thing they all have in common is that
someone tried. If you don't try you'll never succeed.

Ok, my friday rant is over...

Hey guys I was surfing the web last night and found some POTA commercials for the toys in the 1970's. I thought you guys might want to have a look back at how cheesy our toy commercials where. One of the odd things about this is the music in the back ground is from 2001 a space oddity? Didn't these guys have bad blood because they lost out to POTA in the academy awards in 1968?

*** Nah, those commercials aren't cheesy... At least they have an actual (albeit VERY thin) plot going on... And I'm quite sure that isn't "2001" music, as MEGO was a very budget conscience company, and they certainly wouldn't have put up the ching to license that music... They pinched pennies, and that's not knocking them: They were just very thrifty and efficient...

*** Who's belittling anyone's work?

I said the audio drama is not a true to form adaption of PLANET and that there certainly is no tying the film and Boulle novel together...

I did say I'd probably listen to it though.

Didn't Yahoo just increase the available file space for groups?

Though given the broad range of material availalbe on POTA groups that could still be an issue.
