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.

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.

*** I'm still convinced they are... There are too many apes of power or
position with them for it not to make sense that they are symbols of their
status... Even if they are just decoration, it proves the apes with them are
rich enough to afford getting them, and being rich equates "power" or
"position" to some people so it'd probably be the same for them... ***

I am going to create my own foam latex appliance of Zira. Unfortunately, with no positive of my face, I have to make do with the female plastic face from Apemania. I am almost done with the sculpt. I started her today and by tomorrow she should be done:
Do you have any suggestions on improvement? I'm still working the lower muzzle...and I took into account Lord T's complaints about Apemania's Zira's nose being too big, so this sculpt has a slightly smaller nose.

Fair enough, but then they would be the first society ever in history to have done that but then again they are apes and anything they do can't be compared to human societies of the past I suppose.

I feel stupid now that it has been pointed out. I actually have two
copies of that issue, but when I saw it in it's 'restored' format I
just didn't make the connection. It's amazing how much better all the
prints look when you remove the logo, price, and other words.

Whitty,

Since you're home now, I have to ask you if you received the issue of "AC"
that features the 3 page story by Neil and yourself? I know you mentioned
you were going to buy one for me so i could check it out, but I haven't
received mine and it's been a long time coming...

I dealt with two Canadians and the transactions were completed within 7-10
days, so it sure isn't the Canadian Mail system... Any word on what the deal
is?

I wasn't 'speaking of Dave' I just pointed out that you had used one of his 'restored' covers as the picture on your site. I'm sure he doesn't mind but maybe you should check with Ty whether it is okay to use images from the Mr. Comics mini-series? Just thinking, some people take copyright seriously.

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.

Subject: OT: studios shaking in their boots
.html

 As mentioned, it's been a bad summer and year at the box office. Partly that's the economy but there's no denying an indifference to the movies that have been coming out. This week the heads of studios are having confabs with talent agencies to see what they've got that might interest audiences. It's often asked why they keep doing reboots, sequels, formula comedies, etc. ("Doesn't Hollywood have any original ideas anymore?"). But there's no denying people go to those. The best movies often don't get the biggest audiences. It's a complex thing figuring out what audiences want. But there MIGHT be a sea change coming in what movies get made.
 I think it can be argued some of the best movies ever made have been remakes, sequels, even "formulas", just as there's no guarantee of quality just because it's an "original idea". It's more the movie itself and the creativity and passion involved.  Maybe one of the producers of last year's surprise hit "The Hangover" said it best: "People are feeling marketed to, as opposed to catered to".
  This might seem not relevant as a POTA post, but since they are scheduled to start shooting a new POTA movie in a couple weeks, maybe it is. Perhaps this Hollywood soul searching will benefit "Rise of the Apes". Or maybe it will be just another Hollywood soul searching that doesn't add up to much.

Do you have any suggestions on improvement? I'm still working the lower muzzle...and I took into account Lord T's complaints about Apemania's Zira's nose being too big, so this sculpt has a slightly smaller nose.

Subject: OT: Will "Toy Story" toy with "Apes"?
.html
.html
 To no one's surprise, "Toy Story 3" opened at the top of the box office with $ 109 million estimated (as well as being a summer movie with good reviews, hard to do this year). The "Toy Story' characters are some of the most popular around, beloved by million$. Now comes word that Woody and the gang (ha! I said "Woody") will be in a "Toy Story" short film that will play with Pixar's "Cars 2" next June. Yes, in fact the very "Cars 2" that will open opposite "Rise of the Apes". So not only will Caesar have to battle, uh, uh, I don't know any of the "Cars" character names, but he will also have to conquer Woody (*snicker*) and his pals.
  I say bring them on! Caesar will melt their plastic a**es! Fight like apes!!

  "The Hollywood Reporter" says that John Lithgow and Freida Pinto have signed on as humans for "Rise of the Apes". No word on Don Cheadle, who was also a rumored potential (probably not for the Lithgow role). Probably most people know who Lithgow is. He'll play the dad of James Franco's character. The dad has Alzheimer's and that spurs Franco on to use chimps to find a cure, leading to a classic "Oops!".
 
 Freida Pinto is the female lead, a primatologist (no word if she's also the love interest). Pinto is a model who's acting career is heating up. But her only released film so far is the smash Oscar Best Picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire":
 
 
 If Cheadle signs too that will be quite a cast.

  "Rise of the Apes" is scheduled to come out 1 year from today. Some might question whether the film will be ready by then, specifically with the brave new POTA world of CG. Peter Jackson said it took them a year and a half of development before they got one shot of King Kong they liked (they also revamped him after seeing the movie trailer). But WETA does have the "King Kong" experience to bring to "Apes", as well as 5 year's of experience since then.
  I think unless there's any unforeseen emergencies that the movie will keep that date (unless they blink because of "Cars 2"). And I'm sure WETA knows what time it needs and wouldn't have agreed to this time table if they didn't think they could make it. They are the superstars of this area and I'm sure watch their own backs. Peter Jackson personally wanted to make a POTA film back in the '90's (the original is one of his favorites) and he was Roddy's personal choice as director. I think Jackson will take a personal interest in this project as far as the creation of the apes. This is quite a credit. They know the knives will be out because people are so protective of POTA as a makeup legend. Everybody is skeptical of CG apes, so WETA has some proving to do.
  But I don't think "Rise" will be the battle royale people are expecting. It won't show the "conquest" I don't think. That would probably be suicide to the CG artists. It's called "Rise of the Apes". Probably 2/3rds (or more) of the flick will be Caesar's story with the humans. Then the last act would be him getting his ape buddies together and saying, "These humans suck. Let's take over". It could still be a good story, the bittersweet tale of a guy who wanted to cure Alzheimer's but wound up opening Pandora's Box (with apologies to "Avatar", don't sue me). The next movie (with more time and money, if this is a hit) could be the "Conquest of the Apes". Especially considering this is a new director with not a lot (any?) of FX experience on this scale, I think they will go easy. But that's fine with me. Most of the "Ape" films are not epic action movies, they are more intimate sci-fi tales. If they can get the stories and the characters right, that's enough for me. I don't need a whole lot of apes.

I’m not expecting a whole bunch of apes so I am guessing it won’t need a whole lot of CGI.

 

Sounds to me like a big story about humans that will touch on how apes acquire intelligence and speech.

 

I think it a nice subtle restart that’d more an epilogue….just what we need I think.

 It's one year until the apes rise, so here's something interesting I found. On the imdb there's someone calling themselves joejaffa who has been posting some comments about the new film:  http://www.imdb.com/user/ur19748878/boards/profile/  
  Well, Joe Jaffa is the son of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the writers/producers of the movie (thanks Google):  http://www.tcmdb.com/participant.jsp?spid=177553  
  So, joejaffa says he hasn't read the current script but he's read one from a couple months ago (for instance, he says the female primatologist in the script played by Freida Pinto is named Stewart, but recent reports in "Variety" and EW call the character Caroline). But his comments give some good clues of what we can expect. But he says, "The draft I read presented it as a smart science-fiction film. However, from what I've heard Fox has "dumbed it down" quite a bit, so honestly I have no idea how it'll end up. There's fighting to get it going both ways, so I have no idea how it'll end up".
  Here's his comments of the script he read (the movie might be different, remember):
 
 "It's not that dark, but it has dark moments. It's very chilling. There isn't much action up until the 3rd act, then the action gets intense".
 
 he calls it "a new origin story to the original timeline"; "a loose prequel"; "I'd say it's down the middle between a prequel to the 1968 film and a reboot".
 
 He says the primatologist (Pinto) and the geneticist (James Franco) do become lovers (that'll keep the eyes off the CG apes!)
 
 The Lithgow father character is named Charles
 
 Spoiler: Caesar lives with Franco and a mean neighbor mistreats Caesar, which leads to his anger at humans (the character they wanted Don Cheadle for was a scientist, not this neighbor; how about Mickey Rourke for the neighbor?)
 
 "It's not a remake of "Conquest" at all. The only thing that's the same as "Conquest" is that the name of the 1st chimp to talk is Caesar, and that's it".
 
 "There's one other intelligent ape in the script who comes in later on, but he isn't as smart as Caesar and doesn't play as prominent of a role".
 
 "Caesar aquires the ability to speak. He doesn't say much though. Don't want to give that much away here, as it would ruin a great moment in the script". He says Caesar grows from a baby and gets smart gradually. He's the only ape who wears clothes (somewhat). The apes revolt using their "brute strength", not weapons.
 
  He says it has nothing to do with POTA2001 and that "if it's anything like the draft I read, it should be great".
 
 So it sounds like it really will be primitive apes (Primitive? They're prehistoric!) showing us who's boss. I'm open, as long as the "don't dumb it down" side wins.

  Well, Joe Jaffa is the son of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the writers/producers of the movie (thanks Google):  http://www.tcmdb. com/participant. jsp?spid= 177553 
  So, joejaffa says he hasn't read the current script but he's read one from a couple months ago (for instance, he says the female primatologist in the script played by Freida Pinto is named Stewart, but recent reports in "Variety" and EW call the character Caroline). But his comments give some good clues of what we can expect. But he says, "The draft I read presented it as a smart science-fiction film. However, from what I've heard Fox has "dumbed it down" quite a bit, so honestly I have no idea how it'll end up. There's fighting to get it going both ways, so I have no idea how it'll end up".
  Here's his comments of the script he read (the movie might be different, remember):
 
 "It's not that dark, but it has dark moments. It's very chilling. There isn't much action up until the 3rd act, then the action gets intense".
 
 he calls it "a new origin story to the original timeline"; "a loose prequel"; "I'd say it's down the middle between a prequel to the 1968 film and a reboot".
 
 He says the primatologist (Pinto) and the geneticist (James Franco) do become lovers (that'll keep the eyes off the CG apes!)
 
 The Lithgow father character is named Charles
 
 Spoiler: Caesar lives with Franco and a mean neighbor mistreats Caesar, which leads to his anger at humans (the character they wanted Don Cheadle for was a scientist, not this neighbor; how about Mickey Rourke for the neighbor?)
 
 "It's not a remake of "Conquest" at all. The only thing that's the same as "Conquest" is that the name of the 1st chimp to talk is Caesar, and that's it".
 
 "There's one other intelligent ape in the script who comes in later on, but he isn't as smart as Caesar and doesn't play as prominent of a role".
 
 "Caesar aquires the ability to speak. He doesn't say much though. Don't want to give that much away here, as it would ruin a great moment in the script". He says Caesar grows from a baby and gets smart gradually. He's the only ape who wears clothes (somewhat). The apes revolt using their "brute strength", not weapons.
 
  He says it has nothing to do with POTA2001 and that "if it's anything like the draft I read, it should be great".
 
 So it sounds like it really will be primitive apes (Primitive? They're prehistoric! ) showing us who's boss. I'm open, as long as the "don't dumb it down" side wins.

  Ed Gross, co-author of "POTA Revisited", has a cool POTA that's worth visiting often. He managed to snag a few words from newly cast actress Freida Pinto, who says she saw the original "Apes" "ages ago" but reports the "Rise" script "really had a soul in the kind of story that they really wanted to put out there. I just thought there was a lot of soul to it".
  Pinto's first movie was the Best Picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire" and she has a Woody Allen movie coming out this year ("You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger"), and plays the title character in an independent movie for the Weinsteins. So she seems pretty selective. Good to have her aboard.

  Yeah, the main discouraging thing is Jaffa saying Fox is trying to "dumb it down" (we knew that would happen). But it's encouraging that he said people were fighting that. That will be tricky since nobody, the director, the cast, have a big enough name to stand up to them. The saving grace would be if Peter Chernin wants this to be "more" than it could be. He was the # 2 at the whole News Corp. (which owns Fox) and "Rise" will be his first movie as a producer under his "golden parachute" deal. Will he just do the usual Fox movie or will he fight for something special now that his name's on it? If he wants something special, he knows as well as anybody the Fox system and he could beat it.

Chernin was pretty heavily involved in getting POTA2001 up-and-running at Fox 17 or 18 years ago, wasn't he? I guess he's a fan, but hopefully - if he's trying to make a name for himself as an independent producer - he won't make the same mistakes this time round...

I captured the still images from the opening credits of the cartoon series - they're in the 'Return POTA stills' folder in the Photos section. They're only shown for a split second each, so can't really be appreciated, but some of the ape sketches are pretty good and the Underdwellers look more creepy than in the actual cartoon. They might be production sketches or something. There's also a shot of Bill Hudson doing the 'see-no-evil...' routine.

Subject: Peter Jackson's d.p. doing "Apes"
.html
.html
I noticed that not only is Peter Jackson's Weta Digital FX company doing "Rise of the Apes" but Andrew Lesnie is the director of photography (cinematographer). He's photographed all of Jackson's films this decade, including the "Lord of the Rings" (he won an Oscar for the first one) and "King Kong". He's got a lot of experience working with Weta and merging live-action with CG. Weta does FX for other filmmakers (including many Fox sci-fi movies) but Lesnie isn't usually part of the bargain since he's been busy with Jackson. Though he did do the Will Smith "I Am Legend" and this weekend's "The Last Airbender". In the '90's he did the famed "Babe" pig movies. Probably after "Apes" he will move on to the anticipated "Hobbit" movies if it's true that Jackson is leaning toward directing them.
 It still remains to be seen if these CG apes are going to work but I can't knock who they've enlisted to do it. Director Rupert Wyatt is certainly being thrown in the deep end of the pool, going from "The Escapist" to this.

"Rise of the Apes" has the same digital FX company (Weta), the same cinematographer, and now the same performer who played Kong (and "Lord of the Rings'  " Gollum) will play Caesar. Andy Serkis has been announced. It's perfect. The original Caesar worked in the circus and now Serkis will work on Caesar. Ouch!
 The only thing better is if Marky Mark does the voice of Caesar. Cross your human appendages.

If anyone wants to see the Guv in person he will be appearing at the Aero theatre in LA on July 9 with his films "Bus Stop" and "The Hoodlum Priest"

Friday, July 9 – 7:30 PM

Don Murray In Person! Don Murray was nominated for an Academy Award for his very first film, BUS STOP, and he only got better from that point forward. With turns in films by Otto Preminger, Fred Zinnemann and Francis Ford Coppola, as well as countless appearances on television, Murray has created dozens of indelible performances.

Double Feature: HOODLUM PRIEST, 1961, MGM Repertory, 101 min. Don Murray plays Father Charles Dismas Clark, a man of the cloth who works with juvenile delinquents, in this powerful film based on a true story. Keir Dullea plays one of the teens in an early role.

BUS STOP, 1956, 20th Century Fox, 96 min. Dir. Joshua Logan. Marilyn Monroe stunned critics and fans alike with her heartbreakingly tender performance as a truck-stop singer who falls in love with naïve young cowpoke Don Murray, in this beautiful, bittersweet drama based on the William Inge play. With Betty Field, Arthur O'Connell. Discussion between films with actor Don Murray. Trailer | Buy Tickets

 This was too good to pass up. James Franco (among certain other projects) is guest starring on the soap "General Hospital" for the next month or so. Here is yesterday's introduction where he pulls his monkey out. It's only a toy one but he says he's "thinking about getting a real one". I presume he is or will soon be in Vancouver to do just that (so to speak) as the star of "Rise of the Apes".

Interesting stuff….

 

Full article here:

http://www.brokenfrontier.com/lowdown/p/detail/archaia-enters-critical-millennium

 

BF: How did you get involved with the   Planet of the Apesnovel, and what can fans expect within its pages?

AG:  I first became an Apes  fan as a child watching the ABC 4:30 movie. I remember seeing the first movie and being surprised to see the story continue throughout the week, especially after the world-altering events in  Beneath the Planet of the Apes. (Battle was not part of the lineup, so I didn’t even know the movie existed until about a decade later). These movies were repeated quite often, so I got a chance to really absorb them.

As a child, I would see questions that seemed to remain unanswered between each film. As an adult, I now know that these were continuity errors. As a dreamer, I used my imagination to fill in the blanks and cover the mistakes. As a writer, I made an appointment to meet with FOX licensing. I pitched the concept of a series of illustrated novels that would plug those plot holes, as well as work as interesting tales in their own right. Fox loved the idea, and though I have mapped out a six novel cycle, we settled on a two book deal with an “option to renew.” The first book is entitledConspiracy of the Planet of the Apes  and tells the story of the ill-fated astronaut John Landon during the first movie, as well as showcasing many characters that appear from the films’ sequels. We have known for years that Landon was captured during the hunt along with Taylor , but he is missing for the majority of the film. It is later revealed that he has been lobotomized by Dr. Zaius, but what happened to him during that missing time, and how did he touch the lives of other pertinent apes characters? This one is about the ride—we all know how Landon ends up, and it’s not a happy ending. It’s his journey that I hope will captivate readers.

As far as the art goes, we’ve got an incredible lineup of top industry professionals as well as up-and-coming new blood. Conspiracy  has a fantastic cover by legendary artist Jim Steranko, who created the original concept paintings George Lucas used to sell Raiders of the Lost Ark  to Paramount back in 1979, as well as creating innumerable logos for major sci-fi and fantasy films and designing the look of Francis Ford Coppola’s take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula . We’ve got beautiful pieces by Joe Jusko and European artist Sanjulian. We have additional paintings by Dave Dorman, Chris Scalf, Matt Busch and Brian Rood of Star Wars  fame, as well as Ken Kelly, Barron Storey and Mark Texiera, to name a few. Dan Dussault has even provided us with two fantastic paintings. The book is lavishly illustrated and truly a work of art; we are hoping to have it out for the Holiday shopping season this year.

BF: Will there be other   Apes  projects in the future?

AG:  At least one! The previously mentioned second novel will tie up the loose ends between the first and second film and tells what happened to Taylor during the time he was missing in Beneath the Planet of the Apes . Both novels stand on their own, but together paint the larger picture of how Milo , Cornelius and Zira were able to escape the destruction of the Planet of the Apes. Whether or not we go past the second book depends on sales, so I am not at liberty to discuss the plot lines for the remaining four books. However, I will tell you that like these first two, their stories weave in and out of Apes  canon, and each standing as a complete story in its own right. We want to entertain both longtime readers and those with no prior knowledge of Apes  as well.

I'm hoping CONSPIRACY lives up to expectations, but I hope it doesn't try
bundling too much into one story... I mean I think it's pretty simple as to
what happened to Landon: He was caught in the hunt and when he came to he
probably started yacking away, was put under wraps by the higher ups & they
decided to do away with the problem immediately... I cannot see him having been
kept alive long enough to have been leaked to the outside world or even
those within the in the Ministry of Science except for the absolute higher
ups... I'm envisioning this story being a repeat of the TV show: Interrogated by
the higher ups with Milo taking Galen's place, Landon piques his interest
and he goes undercover to speak to him privately and learn about the ship
etc.... I hope I am WRONG, but I just have a feeling...

I'm all for new stories set within the original series story arc, but there
are some things that are best left unwritten... How the original PLANET
came into being, what happened to Landon pre-lobotomy, or even how the apes
were able to get Taylor's ship working are things that are best left to the
imagination... When you start messing around with that type of thing too much,
you risk writing a "fan-boy" story wherein you're really "forcing" your
opinions on everyone as to what happened...
