*** The reality is, it won't be... People can call it a prequel all they
want, but too much time has passed since the last original APES film for this
to really be anything but an attempt at revamping the franchise... It may be
tagged as part of the classics "history", but it won't be...

The funny thing with this film is they seem to be trying pretty hard to
play at it being connected to the originals whereas with pota2001, they seemed
to be doing everything they could to distance themselves from the
originals... Trying to say the new film ties with the classic is like trying to say
that "Batman Returns" is part of the same Batman franchise as the TV series
was...

I'm still of the opinion that I'd rather not see any new film made, BUT, if
they have to I'd rather it be a new take instead of trying to group it all
together... ***

  James Franco is no leading man either. He's been a supporting player in anything he's done that's been successful. Kraik, er, um, Jackie STARRED in the # 1 movie at the box office a couple weeks ago, "Nightmare on Elm Street". Kraik rocks.

 

 And Chuck and Linda Hamilton, I mean Harrison were in the last one. That didn't make you like it any less.

But he's no leading man and Kraik was a really annoying kid in the TV episode. Maybe they could also get Linda Hamilton to play his mother or something. And how about Chuck Heston as, oh wait... too late...

Well I'm glad they aren't going with Jack Earle Haley, why would anyone want that? So what if he was in one episode of the TV show as an annoying kid. If they are going for a completely new up to date take on the thing why bother including anything from POTA's distant past?

 What the? According to hitfix, Toby Maguire (aka Spiderman) was also in the running for "Rise of the Apes". What's up with that? Liam Neeson was in a Batman movie and Jackie Earle Haley was in "Watchmen". Doesn't that count?

The thing is, none of us really know yet exactly how it's going to reference the original movies, besides what's been written on a few websites. I have a feeling that reviewers calling it a prequel are just leaping to conclusions and that it actually won't tie-in at all. It'll probably make no reference to Taylor or any other original characters, but if it does tell the story of an ape revolution then it effectively IS dismissing the events of the original movies. The only thing which would suggest otherwise is the use of the name 'Caesar', which is entirely created by the writers of those movies.

No-one would like to see a John Chambers-style POTA sequel more than me, but that's not going to happen with this movie. That belongs to the realm of fan-made films. It's probably better that they completely re-launch the concept rather than tie it in in a half-assed way.

This probably won't mean anything to long-time visitors to my Apes
site, but thanks to Google Docs, I've just added "View PDF" links to
most items on my site that are available in PDF format. This allows
visitors to view the PDFs without having to download the PDF files
and/or without having to have a PDF viewer installed.

Mea culpa! Some time ago I added miniature examples of comic-book representations of some of the main POTA characters to the bottom of their pages, for completeness. If you hover over each picture it shows the source material and credits the artist. I've been taking a long break from the wiki site while I work on other stuff, but when I come back to it, I can change the page layouts so the credits are a permanent caption under each picture, if that would be more satisfactory.

The Big Bang Theory is one of the funniest shows around for us geeks.
Lots of science fiction, comics, computer and general science puns,
funny characters, and funny stories. It's in it's third year but has
already set a record deal for syndication. So it's going to be around
for a while. Wouldn't be surprised to see more Apes in the future.

The Big Bang Theory is one of the funniest shows around for us geeks.
Lots of science fiction, comics, computer and general science puns,
funny characters, and funny stories. It's in it's third year but has
already set a record deal for syndication. So it's going to be around
for a while. Wouldn't be surprised to see more Apes in the future.

*** I get your point, but this and the pota group are for the purpose of
discussing APES (in it's various incarnations), so it's abt to be continually
brought up, after all it carries the name... You can go to any other fan
sites and you'll see some of their entities being trashed too... I'm sure if
you went to a ST site, you may see TNG or DS9 being called "blasphemous" or on
a SW site, the prequels and the changes Lucas made to the original trilogy
aren't placed on a pedestal either... The public at large probably doesn't
care either way, so if you ask them about it, I'm sure they wouldn't call it
"blasphemous"... To them it's probably a film like any other...

And regarding King Kong, the reason the 2005 version doesn't get bashed is
because it's a good movie... KK '76 sucks though... But if you look at that
KK site, you'd see the various Kong films are trashed too... It's in every
fandom... ***

So. most of the POTA fans obviously hate POTA '01.  I look at it as an action film with apes.  Why are most of you sooo against letting it be?  There have been numerous other movies that have been remade and they just go on sitting quietly on the shelf.  But not POTA.  Why?  Sometimes the books are followed, sometimes not.  But POTA being "reimagined" ( with the ending being the only thing remotely resembling the book) is BLASPHEMY!  I don't understand.  Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, King Kong, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead---just to name a few---don't get the sheer hatred that Burton's Planet gets.

While I'm not on the other group, I think it's worth mentioning that Paul Dehn's first outline for 'The Battle for the Planet of the Apes' (see Hunter's site) describes Caesar's revolutionary flag: "against a yellow ground, the head of an ape (Caesar) rises from symbolically blood-red flames."

Here's my attempt at that, but I think it could be done better:

  Why remakes? Because it front loads the opening weekend. It provides a recognition factor that gets people in the door for the almighty first week. Sequels, remakes, familiar characters from comic books, video games, cartoons... There's plenty of original movies, but those are for Oscar season.

Whilst I agree he's a great choice, I have to ask - why yet another remake? Is there really no one who can write a decent NEW movie these days?!? Are there no new ideas left? Or is it just gross laziness as with most things nowadays where it seems it is easier to 'borrow' other peoples ideas and stuff rather than do the work yourself?

*** Yeah, and if the movie doesn't "perform" in the first day or two, it's
pulled before anyone can see it... Even if it is a hit as you described
"Wow, it had a big opening weekend" then what? Next week there's a new film and
the former #1 is gone in the blink of an eye... No film has any longevity
nowdays... Even the almighty "Avatar" seems to be fading from the budget
theaters instead of being milked during the summer vacation season... ***

Subject: [PotaDG] OT: not so hot summer for Fox

On the heels of last week's poor showing for "Marmaduke", Fox's "The A-Team" is having to settle for the B-list, with an expected $27 million for the weekend. The other '80's reboot of the week, "The Karate Kid", is expecting $ 52 + million. Fox's Tom Cruise movie "Knight and Day" (co-written by former "Caesar" director Scott Frank) is showing a lack of interest in prerelease polls and is expected not to do so well (and the title won't help). That might leave Fox's sci-fi "Predators" to save the summer for them next month. How all this effects "Rise of the Apes", shooting this summer, remains to be seen. More pressure? Maybe inspiring them to do something different, riskier? Sci-fi was Fox's bread and butter this year with "Avatar".

So far the summer has been considered a disappointment at the box office, with audiences seeming to give it a big yawn. The movie that is expected to be a smash (and has been getting great reviews) is Pixar's "Toy Story 3". As it turns out, Pixar's movie for next year, "Cars 2", goes head to head with "Rise of the Apes". I'm just saying.

I really hate this movie, but this ape is amazing.

Does anybody have information about this ape? Is it a custom?

Nice site Alex.

I agree that many of the MR Comics images will likely fit right in with
the concept of the movie.

One question. What is the source of the image you currently have for the
Synopsis tab. The cartoonish image of the chained Conquest Red Gorilla
being beaten by cops? It reminds me of some of the coloring book covers,
but I don't think I've seen this one before.

Thanks, Dario.

The image is from the movie comic book series by "Marvel Comics" from the 70's.

Here's the original comic book cover.
