Very, very interesting.

A name for Stewart, background info on the team, the mention of Skipper (not Brent?), the admission that they knew the crew was not to return to Earth (so how did they launch Brent and Skipper to "rescue" them?)......

I wonder if this is based on old documents at Fox or just made up?

What's added in the unrated edition of Conquest? I assume it lacks the
added-on ending but what else is in it that's not in the standard
edition?

I got the POTA Revisited book in through interlibrary loan
today...pretty good. I noticed that either the filmmakers or the writer
appear to hold to the closed loop timeline thing.

I'm looking forward to the Timeline book due out next month...what's it
called, Timeline of the Apes?

I think DK Publishing should do a guide like they've done for numerous
other franchises...they've done several Star Wars, an Indiana Jones,
and I have their CSI TV show book. Pretty good stuff. A POTA one would
rock.

One of the local LA network affiliates was running an

Apes week showing the TV show stitched together

into movies.  Roddy did the bumps as an aged Galen.

The clips were included in the first Apes Rarities DVD that I made.

And a first name for Dodge too, I guess 'French' could be 'Brent' mis-
heard?
But 'Liberty 1'? And 'Colonel Donovan'? I'd have thought if they were
just making it up (presumably they did) it would have been better to go
along with the POTA fans and stuck with Icarus and Maddox. My guess is
that this stuff probably will become canon, just because it's on an
official release, especially as newer fans become interested.

Thanks for sharing this Rich - does this mean you have to re-write big
chunks of your book now?!

Personally, I do consider them canon, for the fact that it's Roddy
portraying Galen. In my mind though, Galen's talking to some kid/kids
who come to visit him every evening and hear him talk about his
adventures (a human kid would make the most sense), with that in
mind, his line about the astronauts disappearing into the sky could
be just something to tell a young kid, a happy ending that may or may
not be accurate. And I'd like to think the electric lamp and computer
screen he has switched on in the background are running off a home
made battery like Virdon and Burke showed him how to make in 'The
Legacy'.
You know it makes sense!

Probably true. I can see them ignoring Icarus--it's an odd name for
a spaceship, given that it refers to a guy who crashed to the Earth
while trying to fly. LOL. Donovan surprised me, though--since the
name "Maddox" is mostly visible on his jacket, you'd think they would
have stuck with that one.

Ugh. Yeah, it did require some additions. Nothing TOO
strenuous...but some things had to be re-thought, which is
frustrating since the book was completely done as of a few days
ago. Not any more. :)

I went & bought the $25 Blu Ray DVD remote for the PS3 thinking maybe
it would navigate the menus but the upgrade was what was needed.

The unrated "Conquest" is like the Apes Holy Grail for me. I'm more
of a horror/monster film guy & when I first heard about the original
cut being "too much blood & too much gore," I thought it had to be an
exaggeration. I mean, the hunt in "Planet of the Apes" with the pile
of bodies & human trophies on poles is a big part of what attracted
me to the series & the violence & Caesar's anger were what
made "Conquest" my favorite sequel. There was so much emotion in that
film. I never dreamed that it really was filmed the way it was, & I
sure the Hell never expected to get to see it. It is fantastic. To
see the apes being shot in the face & that 70's way too red blood
flowing everywhere was mind blowing & to have it end with Caesar
still flushed with rage & the brutal slaying of Gov. Breck left me
sitting there with goosebumps feeling like a shocked kid all over
again.

The uncut "Conquest" is loaded with that Hammer Horror film RED blood
& the riot control officer bodies just keep piling up. Plenty of 70's
style gunplay. Seeing Breck shoot the gorilla in the face like we've
all seen on the lobby card & then seeing him get beat to death was
just all incredible to me. I've been in a "Famous Monsters of
Filmland" type heaven ever since I got that damn PS3 navigating the
menus.

All the featurettes have been pretty damn good too. It really is a
set with enough "new" material to make it worth buying again. Its not
just a George Lucas "here's Star Wars again, gimme your money" feel
to it. Some effort was finally put into this set. I'm pretty happy
with it. The coffee table book was nicer than I was expecting for a
DVD bonus type thing & all the previously availible extras are
included for the DVDs. I thought the animated Lawgiver & ANSA message
were a little cheesey but my son loved them. So maybe they were onto
something there?

the film seemed kind of silly to me and I certainly wouldn't classify it as canon....I'm sure some people just made this stuff up and didn't find in archives....

Rich I don't think you should worry about including it in your book....I'm sure it's perfectly fine as is!

My transcriber has rewatched the ANSA footage to be sure, and says
"French" was actually "Brent," which makes much more sense. The
footage at that point is made to sound garbled, so he didn't catch it
the first time.

I've been looking into this and asking a lot of questions and here's a
summary of what I've discovered...

REGION ENCODING for POTA on Blu Ray

1: 85% of Blu Ray titles released by FOX are region encoded (The
percentage is much lower for other studios)

2: It has not yet been confirmed anywhere if the POTA discs are region
encoded or region free. There are web sites that lists U.S titles that
are known to be region free but so far POTA isn't on any of them. If
that changes I'll let you know.


MULTI REGION Playback on Blu Ray

Also I've been looking into the availability of multi-region
hacks/mods for Blu Ray players and it's pretty murky. Usually, if a
hack or modification is available - or if units are being sold as
'multi-region' - then BEWARE - that term applies to the units ability
to play region-encoded standard DVDs NOT Blu rays!

At present I have only found two units that appear to be genuinely
multi-region for Blu ray playback. Both are very expensive and both
have to hacked via the remote control each time you want to switch
regions.

REGION B (Europe - New Zealand - Australia)

The UK release of the anniversary set appears to be identical to the
USA version except it doesn't appear to include the book (unconfirmed)
or deluxe packaging (unconfirmed).

To date I have been unable to find full spec listings for the UK
release so I'm not even sure if REGION B will include all the special
features (We often lose one or two to make room for extra language
options)

I have emailed and written to FOX Home entertainment (UK) asking for
clarification but to date have received no reply.

So - to summarise.

If you live outside of the USA/Canada then you are probably REGION B.

If you import your discs from the USA there is an 85% chance they will
not play - but you WILL get the book AND deluxe packaging.

If you purchase the UK set and you are REGION B the discs will play
but it looks like you won't be getting the book or deluxe packaging
(unconfirmed).

Hope this helps some of you outside of the US/Canada make your choice.
If I get any further clarification I'll pas sit along

Of course I want to see the new material but (once again!) I won't be
buying the UK release if it proves to be inferior. I thought the US
collection was an attractive purchase (assuming you could play the
discs of course).

Thanks Dave.
No book, and limited extras? That's annoying, I was almost tempted to
buy them even though I don't have a player (yet), but maybe I'll hold
off.
