McDowall, Hunter and Evans almost looked "comical" in 1968?

Says the pota2001 got assailed, due in part to putting the actors in
make-up? That's one of the consistent "positives" I've heard for that film: That
the make-ups are/were good...

Safe to say this guy doesn't like APES (or at least doesn't like make-ups
in film)...

Just been talking to my eldest lad on the phone and told me that he saw the Hangover 2 the other night and saw the ROTPOTA trailer which he hadn't seen yet and reckoned it looked great. He now wants to go and see it with me when it comes out down here, which is something I never ever thought I'd hear him say!.

I have to admit, I'm tickled pink, blue, red, green and puce over the newest trailer. There's a line in it..."Evolution becomes Revolution" that I used in the solicits for the second or third issue of our mini-series Revolution on the Planet of the Apes. I don't for a moment believe they took the line from our comic series (I'm not that egotistical), but it's surreal to see it used for a movie release!

I'm dancing in place waiting for this.

Revolution is a great comic, infact it's the only comic I own, period, I love how it brings the original mythology into the 21st Century, It also recieves a few nods in my (In Progress) Apes Fan Film

Numbers for April comics are starting to appear on the web.

http://www.comicsbeat.com/2011/06/08/indie-month-to-month-sales-april-2011/

Boom's POTA comes in at 164 (In the top 300) with sales of 9333

Now these figures are always picked at and tend to come in low,they don't include any reorders, sales to the UK, 2nd prints might not be included etc so a pinch of salt ...but Revolution came in at under 3000 for the first issue if memory serves, so in the right direction.

I first saw the first 2 movies as a kid in elementary school or junior high. I saw the first two again but have yet to see the others. I have several questions that experts may be able to answer:

1) Why was it called PLANET of the Apes when it was not apparent that apes had taken over the whole world, but only Manhattan? Shouldn't it have been called CITY of the Apes?

2) In Beneath, Cornelius says that the chimpanzees are a minority and don't have power against the gorillas. How did this happen? How did the gorillas become the military power, and how did the orangutans attain civilian power in the city according to their history?

3) How did the humans lose their power of speech when the semians acquired power of speech?

4) Did the Icarus land in Arizona, and the 3 astronauts trekked all the way to NY?

5) What had happened in the rest of the world aside from Manhattan?

6) How did an activated bomb get transferred into St. Patrick's cathedral?

7) Last but not least, if it became almost easy to travel over time through the Hasslein Curve, shouldn't it have been possible to travel back and forth, at least to prevent the destruction of the Earth?

Dave S.

Now that I have just seen Escape from POTA, is there an explanation of the rationale why Cornelius and Zira and Dr. Milo decided to fuel up the Icarus and leave if they didn't know the planet was going to be destroyed and left family behind? At what point did they switch the baby gorilla at Armando's circus for their own, and did it make any difference that theirs was a chimp and the other one was a gorilla?

There was not baby gorilla in ESCAPE... Zira switched her baby with another
chimp (Heloise)...

I'll try to answer those questions others have not yet answered.

While we now know that the opposite is true, at the time, Gorillas were
generally considered more violent and powerful than chimps. And also
somewhat less intelligent. So it would only be natural for Gorillas to
assume the more menial tasks of policing and providing the 'military'
for that society. Presumably, chimps had the highest pure intellect,
thereby assuming the scientific and rational thinking roles. And the
Ourangutans were the 'deep thinkers' so they ended up with the
political/psychological/religious roles.

The irony is that today we know that Gorillas, while fiercer looking,
are actually tamer than chimps. Any one of these simians can go on a
rampage when provoked or spooked, but it's the chimps that are more likely.

> 4) Did the Icarus land in Arizona, and the 3 astronauts trekked all
> the way to NY?

They don't call it Arizona in the film, nor do they imply it. Sure it
looks like Arizona, but that is because in the time interval between now
(well 1972) and the future, Earth has undergone great changes, both
natural, and man-made atomic bombing. So that desert sequence is
supposed to be walking distance from Manhattan.

> 5) What had happened in the rest of the world aside from Manhattan?

We don't know. There could be other ape settlements, and even more
mutant enclaves. But the films concentrate on only the Ape City and the
remnants of Manhattan.

> 6) How did an activated bomb get transferred into St. Patrick's
> cathedral?

You know, that is a very good question! One would presume that earlier
generations of the mutants brought it in as it was set up in the
cathedral and the control panels were placed right in front. But Taylor
also mentions at one point something like "They don't even know what
they've got" meaning that they don't know it would blow up the entire
planet. Whoever did move it must have some detailed technical
information to move something like that.

Zira, Cornelius and Milo did come back. And that's what Dr. Otto
Hasslein thought he was doing when he tried to kill Zira, Cornelius and
the baby.

Both Hasslein and Virgil explained the multi-lane highway concept, so that the inevitable future had at least two possibilities: one with an Aldo saying NO and the other with Caesar leading the way much earlier, i.e. in the 1990s.

While we're at it, what happened between Conquest and Battle that led to nuclear war, and why did the underdwellers remain in the filthy dark underground if they could live on the land like the apes and other humans?

Why did the apes not develop technologically in the 2000 years between Battle and POTA?
They remained in the horse and buggy stage for 2000 years despite having knowledge in other areas.

How was it that in Battle the underdwellers had a launch silo with a nuclear missile intact when everything surrounding them was destroyed? Where did they get fuel for their school bus and cars, electricity and running water?!

Was there a United Ape Nations and did all apes speak only English? Or were there Chinese and Arabic speaking apes? And how did the apes manage as slaves and free beings in cold climates?
Was there any intention to do another story after Battle and were there anyintellectual humans besides the McDonald brothers or any intellectual gorillas?

It sounded as if the chimps were prejudiced against gorillas ....
Now as a middle-aged adult I am extremely impressed by the underlying moral messages in the original movies despite the obvious thematic flaws. I have yet to see the 2001 movie which sounds like it was a totally different story. I have yet to see the 13 TV episodes as well.
Seems to me though that the female apes were pretty much in hiding except for Zira and Lisa. No female orangutans or gorillas. Pretty neat how they became all so intelligent in only 10 years. With elderly wise teachers such as Virgil, etc.

Dave S

Having most of Planet being concentrated in and around NYC is fair
enough. The whole point of POTA was not to show what the entire world
was like at the point, but to see what it all meant from Taylor's point
of view. So just showing a small Ape 'city' was enough. This way they
were able to concentrate on some detail character development (Zaius,
Zira and Cornelius). It would have been a totally different type of
movie had they tried to show everything, and would not have orked as well.

Besides, we got the kick ass Liberty ending this way. :)

In Boulle's novel, it was a chimp who first spoke, not a gorilla, and it
could very well be the same in the original APES timeline...

People assume because of the name Aldo that it was a gorilla and that Aldo
is a "gorilla name"... But in CONQUEST the messenger chimp that Caesar sees
being beaten is named Aldo... Since a lot of Boulle's ideas were source
material, the idea that it was a chimp to speak the first word might be
correct...

**** What led to the nuclear war was what always causes wars: People can't
get along with themselves... As to why the mutants remained in the
underground city it might be that they felt nothing was capable of sustaining life
outside of their fallout shelters, etc. so they stayed where they "knew" they
could survive for awhile... Both guesses... ****

**** In the BATTLE novel, it's explained that they didn't allow technology
because they saw it as too much of a "human thing"... That way of thinking
(that technology is "evil") just carried on thru the centuries... Plus,
keeping technology limited helped keep the masses under control... ****

> Was there a United Ape Nations and did all apes speak only English? Or

**** If apes were in power in other countries, it'd be a safe bet that
they'd adopt whatever lamguage is native to that country... As to how they
survived in cold climates: As slaves, I'm sure their masters would have provided
them with adequate provisions/shelter just like people who live in cold
climates do for their pets in the present day... After their revolt, they
probably had stockpiles of grains and root cellars like the pioneers used to
have... ****

**** BATTLE was promoted as the last film in the series, but they briefly
considered doing a sixth when they seen BATTLE was doing well in the theaters
but they dropped the idea, opting to do the TV series intead...

As far as "intellectual" humans, in BATTLE there was the Teacher and Doctor
if that counts... ****

But then there's this from his review of the 1st issue:

"Magno's artwork is incredibly detailed and is inspired by the original film, particularly the clothing and landmarks"

Sort of shows that he has no idea what he is really talking about. I mean if you are going to do such a review at least get the basic facts right. There is no way the current comic's Apes clothes and buildings are inspired by the original movie in my opinion, they are so obviously inspired by Burton's thing.

If possible, please send us the Diamond order code so that we can give
that directly to comic dealers. Assuming it will also be appearing in
the monthly Diamond Previews mag, let us know when it is in the
'current' Previews so that we can just show that particular page/article

> 1) Why was it called PLANET of the Apes when it was not apparent that apes had taken over the whole world, but only Manhattan? Shouldn't it have been called CITY of the Apes?

The name came from Boulle's book, where it really was an alien planet. The idea of changing it to New York happened while the film was being written.

> 2) How did the orangutans attain civilian power in the city according to their history?

A point in the script for 'Battle' suggests that Virgil resembles the Lawgiver seen at the beginning & end of the movie - so that it was orangs such as Virgil that made them so influential. (Is it significant that Caesar has to stop Virgil from shooting the retreating mutants?) The 90s Adventure Comics continued that idea with Virgil's son writing the Sacred Scrolls.

> 5) What had happened in the rest of the world aside from Manhattan?

There's only two mentions I can think of, neither in the movies - the Adventure Comics had a story set in France, where apes were very advanced and humans had been wiped out. And there was a great story in one of the 70s annuals where some chimps sailed to Peru and were captured by the humans who still ruled there. There may also have been a recent fanzine comic... :O

If the reports are true, it might get an "official" mention under that name in 'Rise'. I don;t understand why they would get all indignant about Rise being called a prequel, and then stick in a reference to the Icarus, or use a name like Caesar. Kinda shooting themselves in the foot, creatively speaking.

And Peter Jackson wanted to make a sixth movie with Roddy McDowell in the 90s. He got as far as writing an outline for it.

Yes, I have the license for a second novel that will come out for fall 2012. These illustrated novels are written and creative directed by me, produced by my company BLAM! Ventures, and published by ARCHAIA ENTERTAINMENT. It is a separate thing than the BOOM! license, as theirs is comics. If Conspiracy and the second book do well, then the license will be extended. In total, I have a six novel arc planned, as of now only the first two books are confirmed.

Yes, Yes, and Yes!

NEW CHARACTERS:

Mungwortt
Taylor's timeline's version of a character who appeared briefly in the cartoon/cartoon novelization series, Mungwortt in this "lane of the highway" that is time is also a halfbreed gorilla/chimpanzee.Instead of being an effeminate soldier, however, he is a drunken garbage ape - a member of the civil service, sanitation division.

Old Zao
Again a new character who has a direct correlation to the animated series, but exists in Taylor's timeline, Zao was Minister of Science before Zaius, and is now retired, spending his days playing strategy games in the square with his friend and fellow retiree, Sabian. Zao feels that ape city has too many secrets, and that some conspiracies need to come to an end.

Seraph
Dr. Milo's assistant, a female chimp who insists she is descended from apes that lived on the sea, and does not fear water.

Liet
Another female chimp, this one the housewife of Dr. Galen. She is a member of the prestigious Knitting Club, and is always concerned about appearances.

Cerek
Sub-chief of the Simian Security Police, Cerek is a young gorilla who is afraid that his mentor, Chief Marcus, is losing power with the council - and doesn't want his career to end along with Marcus', just as Cerek's is starting.

The General of the Defense
You guys should know who this is...(not Ursus).

And there are more!

As soon as I have it,I will! It will be in July's PREVIEWS for things shipping in September, but it actually will ship in AUGUST.

Everyone, please support this book! This has been a labor of love for the past four years, and I promise you will be entertained. The better the sales, the better the chance you will get all six books instead of just two. I have invested a huge amount of money into the first book, and will be happy to just break even. Thanks in advance!

I'm sure you don't want to give too much away (and maybe you can't anyway)
but if all six of them are completed, will they all take place on the future
Earth of PLANET/BENEATH or will the other novels do some "time travel" and
take place in other times (like between ECAPE and CONQUEST, or CONQUEST and
BATTLE, etc.)?

I will be buying it... Hopefully (as stated) it will lead to all six being
written/published...

Yeah, adding some "new blood" is a good thing... That's always been an
argument of mine when people insist that they only want "Zira and Cornelius
stories" with no new characters... I'd point out that at one time Ursus was
"new", and later on Milo was "new", Caesar was "new", etc...

I don't even mind the "recycling" of characters from the RETURN novels...
First off, it sounds like they're not exactly who they were in their original
incarnations, but characters "based" on the previous ones... And second,
it's really no different than what the TV series did when they recycled
Zauis... Now the two Zaius characters are NOT the same, never were, but the TV
Zaius has some characteristics that are similar to the movie Zaius (and more
than anything else, I'd guess they'd used the Zaius name for some
familiarity)... And before the name change, Ursus was another character they were going
to "recycle" for the TV show albeit with some modifications... And another
plus is I'd guess a good number of people who will read it won't even know
who the originals are, so they're not blatantly being thrown out there for
some cheap name recognition...

Thanks man! The "recycled" characters are only so by their names, they were integral to my story and their names came about to tie in my theory about the different lanes of the same highway for the various different ape series.

Cornelius has a small part in this book, as friend to Dr. Milo, and Zira only has a cameo. The two of them have massive parts in the second book.

In regards to the colors on the cover: Steranko is a master. He made some color changes because he was designing a retro poster. The cover is designed to evoke a retro feeling more than be color accurate -check out some of the old posters for apes and other films from that time and you will find the same thing...

BTW- even the "newcomers" that are in the first book are published professionals - Dan Dussault is the artist of my grpaahic novel series, Critical Millennium, and Erik Gist has done a ton of Forgotten Realms Novel covers.

I enjoy Neil's art and would love to have him for consideration for the second book, but if the publisher (ARCHAIA) or FOX nix it, please don't hate me or the project!

What about it Neil, you up to the challenge?

It can be thought of as two trilogies:

TRILOGY ONE: The Origin Arc
BOOK 1 - during the original film to between it and beneath
BOOK 2 - between the original and beneath to during beneath
BOOK 3 - Between beneath and escape

TRILOGY TWO: The Altered Timeline Arc
BOOK 4 - dealing with the television series, during conquest, and between conquest and battle (revolution times).
BOOK 5 - dealing with the animated series, during conquest, and between conquest and battle (revolution times).
BOOK 6 - dealing with post battle, Caesar's end times.

Can not and will not elaborate...

I figured you (understandably) couldn't say too much, but another question
regarding your stories: Will they all have an "end" to them or will they be
left open-ended so the reader would have to read the next book (or the
previous one) to get the complete jist of what's going on? In other words will
each book be a stand-alone novel that can be seen as a part of a larger story
arc (or read on it's own not feeling like a cliffhanger)?
