The scene is one of the most famous scenes in cinematic history so if
whoever really came up with it would get a lot of praise. As to why
there are so many claiming to have come up with the idea, I think its a
little bit 'hollywood', false memories and even outright lies. Even the
lies are interesting. Suppose Serling did come up with the idea. He died
just a few years after the movie. Without an established credit for the
scene, anyone who knew it was him could lay claim. I'm not claiming the
others are liars. Just a thought.

It could be a mixture of truth though, supposing one person came up
with the concept, another with the design, etc.
How likely is it, though, that Peters, doing the concept art, would
be inventing random scenes not set out in Serling's script? I don't
know how these things work, but surely he would have had some
parameters to work within? Instructions from Serling or possibly
Jacobs?

Where did you get the artwork for the home page pic (Neil?), I haven't
seen some of them. I haven't yet got an idea of what kind of artwork
was featured in the North American version of the blu-ray set.

Umm...Yeah! 

The "party" wasn't quite what we expected.  My son and I got there early, so we walked along Hollywood Blvd. for an hour.  As we were walking we saw a van unloading Palms and bamboo "jail" walls.  I said to my son, "this is gonna be bad!"  Then we saw the scarecrows; bamboo Xs with burlap.  We decided to go up.  It was an 18+ party and my son forgot his I.D.   We go upstairs and the girl at the "check in" said, "They just stuck me here.  I don't know anything about what's going on."  Never checked our names or I.D.s.  The place is EXTREMELY small.  We then see Zaius, Ursus, and Cornelius.  things are looking up.  We go into an enclosed room with a movie screen.  The movie is supposed to start PROMPTLY at 4:30.  This room is ALL windows.  It was 4:00 and still sunny outside.  The apes are walking around and talking to people.  I see an Ursus cake and go over and take a couple of pics of it.  I go to get pics of the apes and my batteries died (Sorry).  Soon more people show up.  It seems everybody knows everybody, except us.  We're feeling extremely out of place.  I then hear someone telling someone else that there are people here for Michelle and people here for the apes.  It turns out this was a surprise birthday party for someone named Michelle who is a POTA fan and they hired the 3 apes.  My son said we should leave.  I still wanted pics but my camera was dead and my son's phone didn't have a flash (other than the screening room, the place was darker than most clubs).  I wanted to wait until I saw someone who was there for the apes.  Then, everybody's "FAVORITE" authority on POTA walks in like he is the main attraction.  At this point, I'm disappointed, feeling VERY awkward and out of place, and no way to take pics...so we left at 4:45.  By the way, the movie did start at 4:30, but we couldn't see a thing, except in the bar area, where they had 2" screens all over-the place.  And the raffle prizes...BluRay discs.  After that fiasco my son said, "At least we can say we went to a Hollywood party."  Maybe someone else that went has a different take on it, but that's my 2 cents.

One suggestion, Jess.

Don't paint your edges until after

you put it on.  It make applying it

easier and the makeup won't crack.

Umm...Yeah! 

The "party" wasn't quite what we expected.  My son and I got there early, so we walked along Hollywood Blvd. for an hour.  As we were walking we saw a van unloading Palms and bamboo "jail" walls.  I said to my son, "this is gonna be bad!"  Then we saw the scarecrows; bamboo Xs with burlap.  We decided to go up.  It was an 18+ party and my son forgot his I.D.   We go upstairs and the girl at the "check in" said, "They just stuck me here.  I don't know anything about what's going on."  Never checked our names or I.D.s.  The place is EXTREMELY small.  We then see Zaius, Ursus, and Cornelius.  things are looking up.  We go into an enclosed room with a movie screen.  The movie is supposed to start PROMPTLY at 4:30.  This room is ALL windows.  It was 4:00 and still sunny outside.  The apes are walking around and talking to people.  I see an Ursus cake and go over and take a couple of pics of it.  I go to get pics of the apes and my batteries died (Sorry).  Soon more people show up.  It seems everybody knows everybody, except us.  We're feeling extremely out of place.  I then hear someone telling someone else that there are people here for Michelle and people here for the apes.  It turns out this was a surprise birthday party for someone named Michelle who is a POTA fan and they hired the 3 apes.  My son said we should leave.  I still wanted pics but my camera was dead and my son's phone didn't have a flash (other than the screening room, the place was darker than most clubs).  I wanted to wait until I saw someone who was there for the apes.  Then, everybody's "FAVORITE" authority on POTA walks in like he is the main attraction.  At this point, I'm disappointed, feeling VERY awkward and out of place, and no way to take pics...so we left at 4:45.  By the way, the movie did start at 4:30, but we couldn't see a thing, except in the bar area, where they had 2" screens all over-the place.  And the raffle prizes...BluRay discs.  After that fiasco my son said, "At least we can say we went to a Hollywood party."  Maybe someone else that went has a different take on it, but that's my 2 cents.

The way I thought about it -- the ape science is,

like their culture & society, very rudimentary. For

years we had T Rex standing like Godzilla in all

the museums.  Bones in the wrong place, wrong

animal.  I thought maybe they put dino bones in

a bird formation because that's what they saw

with their limited imaginations and science.

No real background story Tim, just the fact that I'm doing this little "project" of fake comic covers with the idea of having them from different years.

(At least that's the idea, I've not got a clue if they look like that or not)

I should do one "from" the 90s next as so far they've been all from mid 70s early 80s.

 

May be Michael and Neil can do the story

Graham.
