  There's almost nothing worse in California than the closing of a major freeway, even if only for a couple days. Such is the situation with the 405, dubbed "Car-mageddon". In their continuing search for unique ways to promote "Rise of the POTA", Fox let the apes take over the 405:
 
 
 And here's an article that mentions the promotion:

  We know that "Rise of the POTA" will be rated PG-13... but why? For "intense and frightening sequences of action and violins".
  What?! Who cares what kind of instruments the composer uses to make his music?! That's ridiculous! Now they've gone too far.
  Oh, wait. It says "action and violENCE". That makes more sense. Never mind.
  At least you prudes won't have to worry about sex or naughty words. That's a f*cking relief!

My expectations for this film (ROTPOTA) aren't too high... I'll probably
see it, but I sort of agree with a comment I read where the writer said it
looks like a 90s video game... Plus, a "prequel" or "reboot" to a 43 year old
film really is kind of pointless...

I think it looks great – far better than that last awful attempt!

The point is to bring it to a new generation.

 

The feeling I get when I finally hear my kids say “This looks great” is hard to describe but it’s a wonderful feeling.  It’s like they have that same excitement I had so long ago.

 

The real point is to make money but remember Mike it brings great things with it.  It brings CLASSIC apes products to the market.

 

We have the Graphic Novel coming and after hearing the ideas for the next 5 I’m even more hooked than I ever was!  The new comic – the art pains me but the story is going to be OK I think so it could be worse…

 

More dollies soon?  I HOPE SO!!!  J

It also makes more sense that CONQUEST from what I see.  Back in the day we didn’t have the capacity to sit and analyze things over and over as we do now…..I was talking to Neil the other day laughing about our CASSETTE TAPE recordings of some of the movies!!!  The quality was AWFUL but I played them OVER AND OVER!!!  Then I got the BENEATH video tape on BETA and watched it a million times.  I think I was so grateful for seeing the movies that I would not dare to criticize it or look for (or even acknowledge!) flaws…..but kids these days just jump on our beloved inconsistencies and tear them apart.

 

So bring it on!  Make it good, give the sequels more solid ground to build on and keep serious about the scripts.  Let’s have a new POTA movie with the same regularity as a new X Men movie and let the new generation wait with baited breath for the next thing apes…..our plot-holed outdated flicks ain’t gonna do it for them!

 

Michael

  Good question, especially since the director says these are definitely prequels leading up to the original. I think they will continue with the CG, though. They are comfortable with it and it allows a lot of freedom on the set. It would be cool if they switched over to makeup at some point as they got closer to the original. Also it'll be interesting to see how CG improves over the next decade as they make them.

  Probably CGI has become cheaper as it's become a standard of the industry. It's probably cheaper than spending shooting time getting the makeup right and building stuff. That's why a lot of big movies just take place in front of green screens. Actors who've done it seem to love it because they don't have to wear all that makeup.

.html

  Some folks at USC are working on a way to use Twitter to predict box office. The graph in the article shows both positive and negative references to each movie. And it seems to work. Both "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" had a lot of activity and that interest is born out in the box office ("Harry" is breaking records and "Transformers" is already at $ 700 million worldwide, so $ 1 billion seems guaranteed). But it probably doesn't take a genius to figure that.
  "Cowboys and Aliens" is at the other end of the spectrum but that's always been considered the long shot. "Rise" is somewhere in the "X-Men"/"Green Lantern"/"Super 8" area. "Captain America" is doing very well on this chart and opens this week.
  I don't think the marketing of "Rise" has been all it could be, but we'll see if they rally over the next 3 weeks as the other blockbusters fall away.

Eventually, most likely--but not for a couple of years, as I'm working on other books at the moment. That way, I can incorporate Rise, its inevitable sequel (if they make one), the BOOM! comics, any other tie-ins to Rise, and so forth. When the time comes for a second edition, I plan to approach the timeline book very differently, as a series of timelines instead of all grouped together.

There's a good feature in August's Empire Magazine aswell. Mostly interviews with Wyatt and Serkis, and a nice group shot of the ape performers.

Wyatt sez: "We had to ask ourselves, do we want to, for example, mention Icarus, because does that therefore mean we're referencing a film that actually we're saying doesn't exist? In the original POTA the Icarus mission happened in 1972, and we're saying it happened between 2010 and 2016. But yeah, we're definitely using that as a backdrop." The originals themselves, however, aren't being used as reference, to any great degree.

I had assumed, when they mentioned TV footage of the Icarus, that maybe they were going to show it as vintage footage from 1972, just to keep the options open... apparently not.

Per the seller: I have recently been presented with a unique opportunity to offer a limited number of castings of a very rare and iconic piece. A friend of mine had this screen-used fiberglass LawGiver casting in his collection for several years. This is/was the hero casting as seen in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It still had the tubes attached to the eye where it wept "blood" in the final scenes of the movie. Not long ago he sold his screen used casting and it was later auctioned by Profiles in History (fetching close to $30,000!).

This is the screen-used casting sold by Profiles

Prior to it leaving his hands he had it molded, as he wanted to keep a casting for his own personal collection. The mold was cast in what is known in the industry as a "waste mold" and has some air bubbles on the back of the mold. These are actually very minor and considering they are in the back of the hair, they are easy to clean-up with a little Dremel work. In addition to this, the casting has a seam running from ear-to-ear (over the top of the head) that you would have to putty/clean-up. Outside of that, the castings I have run are great and picked up all the detail of the original.

The replicas I am offering are cast in a lightweight, yet strong hand-laid fiberglass with a high quality epoxy gel-coat. These are a surprisingly large piece, measuring approximately 15" wide, 27" tall and 14" deep. There will only be 12 of these rare castings offered, directly from the hero prop.

Price is $650 plus shipping

*** Isn't that kind of what they were trying to do with pota2001? They
tried making that for "today's audience" and people were pretty disappointed
with the results... Hopefully they don't make the same mistake twice, but with
their leading actor and all of the "cute references" that will be in the new
film it looks like they might be going down the same path... I'm not really
against ROTPOTA, but it doesn't look like it's a must see either... The
only good thing about it so far is that FOX isn't trying to brush the originals
under the rug like they did when the 2001 version was going to come out...

*** I thought CONSPIRACY was actually in the works before RISE was even in
production? If that's the case, it's just a coincidence that the novel and
the film are being released in the same time frame... The new comic may be
more of an item being brought to market in hopes of cashing in... (I agree
with the art in it, there's some good stuff but the Burtonesque stuff makes no
sense in a story supposedly set in the same timeline as post BATTLE...) ***





>
> It also makes more sense that CONQUEST from what I see.

*** I agree with this to an extent, but it still has apes becoming smarter
than normal in a very short time... In CONQUEST, the apes went from wild
animals to revolting servants in 9 years more or less, but in RISE, they'll go
from being wild animals to revolting lab specimens in an even shorter time
(I think Veetus said the film takes place in a 7-10 year span?)... Being
treated with an Alzheimer's "cure" which makes them intelligent is almost as
much of a stretch as their intelligence being raised due to
conditioning/training... The way their intelligence is raised in RISE might make a little more
sense, but the end result (revolting in a ridiculously short time) is the
same... ***


> .but kids these days just jump on our beloved inconsistencies and tear

*** Then they shouldn't watch the STAR WARS films: The way Lucas keeps
toying with those and changing histories makes anything in the APES films look
like slight continuity errors... Anyway, it's not just the APES films that
kids might rip apart, it's probably anything made before the 90s that they
could find issue(s) with... Who cares if a bunch of younger people find fault
with the films, those same ones probably find faults with older music, TV,
etc... People are going to like them or not, and it's not so much their age
it's their attitude toward them... There were pople in the 70s pretty much
acting like they're schlock so not much has changed in 40 years... ***

*** If this one is good and they make more, I hope they are on solid ground
and serious as you're saying, but I'm guessing they'll go the way of a lot
of the films today and look completely like video-games or they'll be made
in whatever style is the current fad (like 3-D)... They'll probably become a
showcase for the current film making techniques and the rest will be
secondary... ***</HTML>

Eventually, most likely--but not for a couple of years, as I'm working on other books at the moment. That way, I can incorporate Rise, its inevitable sequel (if they make one), the BOOM! comics, any other tie-ins to Rise, and so forth. When the time comes for a second edition, I plan to approach the timeline book very differently, as a series of timelines instead of all grouped together.

‘RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES’
IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE
AUGUST 5, 2011

July 20th, 2011 - Los Angeles, CA - The next episode in the free online digital comic book prequel to Twentieth Century Fox’s epic motion picture RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, debuts today at www.apescomics.com—coming just two weeks before the picture’s release in theaters across the world on August 5. The comic, with the first episode debuting last Wednesday on July 13th and whose story is set before the events detailed in the film, presents an epic tale of two apes brutally taken from the wild and driven into a life of captivity and experimentation — a journey that will alter the fate of the world forever.

The acclaimed PLANET OF THE APES comic series writer Daryl Gregory and sensational artists Damian Couceiro (HAWKS OF OUTREMER) and Tony Parker (DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?) set the stage for… RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, the first live-action film in the history of movies to star and be told from the point of view of a sentient animal — a character with human-like qualities, who can strategize, organize and ultimately lead a revolution, and with whom audiences will experience a real emotional bond. The film was impossible to make until the technology, invented for Avatar and now advanced to a new dimension, caught up to the idea behind the movie.

Every Wednesday since the online digital comic's debut will see a free five page RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES digital comic book story premiere on www.apescomics.com . Having debuted on July 13th, today marks the second installment, with next Wednesday July 27th seeing another 5 page installment leading up to the final 10 page epic conclusion on August 3rd, two days before the film’s release!

“Fan outpouring for the initial debut of www.apescomics.com has been overwhelming,” says BOOM! Studios Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie. “It's great to work closely with Fox to tell a prelude story in the fantastic and story-rich world of the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. If you haven't had a chance to read the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES free online prequel — you don't know what you are missing!”

In April BOOM! Studios announced they were publishing an all new ongoing PLANET OF THE APES comics series set in the original classic 1968 movie continuity. Subsequently, a flurry of fan interest caused a complete sell-out of PLANET OF THE APES #1, sending the seminal issue into second print even before hitting store shelves!

This is a not-so-blatant reference to POTA 1968. I'm still not a fan of references at all. Usually references make it seem like they're trying to be clever and cute, but they almost always come off as contrived. This one isn't so bad, though. In fact, maybe it wasn't even intentional.

  Fox didn't really seem to make a big splash at Comic Con with the new "Apes" movie; they didn't drag in the stars or anything ("Prometheus", Ridley Scott's first science-fiction flick in 30 years, seemed to make a bigger impression at the presentation). But they did bring in "Rise" director Rupert Wyatt and Andy Serkis to field questions. All the footage shown has already debuted on the internet (the Lithgow clip, the rallying the troops clip, the new "sizzle reel").

Hello!

It's been a while since I've added anything to my Apes site, but the
other day, I finally made time and added:

- Scans of the UK Poster magazine from E. Francis Kohler and M. Harraway
- Scans of an Apes article from VULCAN, a UK fan magazine, from M. Harraway
- A cleaned up GO APE! poster by Dave Ballard

Also, there's information there about a Kickstarter page for fellow
Apes fan and filmmaker Sandy Collora's new project.

Here's that ape actors group shot frm Empire Mag, and also a suspiciously timely article I spotted in a national newspaper here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There's a good feature in August's Empire Magazine aswell. Mostly interviews with Wyatt and Serkis, and a nice group shot of the ape performers.

Wyatt sez: "We had to ask ourselves, do we want to, for example, mention Icarus, because does that therefore mean we're referencing a film that actually we're saying doesn't exist? In the original POTA the Icarus mission happened in 1972, and we're saying it happened between 2010 and 2016. But yeah, we're definitely using that as a backdrop." The originals themselves, however, aren't being used as reference, to any great degree.

I had assumed, when they mentioned TV footage of the Icarus, that maybe they were going to show it as vintage footage from 1972, just to keep the options open... apparently not.

    Hello Everyone,
     
     Glad to be a part of this excellent Planet of the Apes Forum. I have been a huge fan of these films since I was a kid. Extremely excited about Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it looks very promising
     
    I quite like the various nods to the previous films. Did anyone catch that wink to Jerry Goldsmith in the trailer, the music morphs into that eerie classic tone from Planet while Caesar is on the examination table.
     
    Look forward to chatting about this fabulous franchise and discussing Rise with all of you.

    Yes Neil, thanks.

    Forgive me if I have not been too active on the forums. I've been
    deleting most of the messages on the groups that has any hint of new
    information on Rise as I've already seen more than I wanted. With the
    many trailers and clips I think the studio has already given away a bit
    too much and I just wanted to avoid any more spoilers, intentional or not.

    At this point I'm just in countdown mode and just want the see the movie!

    Sure do Jess. I've been following your photos on FB, but if you have
    any more I'm sure everyone would love to see them. BTW, congrats on
    making it to Comicon. A dream I hope to fulfill, someday. I'm sure that
    a lot of others noticed you over the week so I expect a lot more photos

    Considering that Serkis seems to be employed pretty much full-time in promoting this film and its FX, I'd be surprised if they changed the formula for a sequel. Unless he gets killed at the end, which is unlikely. I don't think a first sequel would happen without Wyatt, Serkis and Weta, though from what Franco has said, he mightn't be interested. Maybe he'd just agree to be in the opening scene, then blow up the world at the end?

    I managed to wrangle an invite to the press preview screening a few days before general release. The exciting part is it'll be my first big-screen apes experience, the less exciting thing is that almost the entire world outside of Ireland will have already seen it by then anyway (8th August)...
