Pat used to be a member of this group and I for one wish he still was. Sure, he sometimes divided opinion between fans with some of his posts but I always found him to be an interesting read most times. Anyway he still has his own group going:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/POTA_Phenomenon/
where he has posted about ROTPOTA and Drew's book Conspiracy. He has some interesting things to say about these two subjects which are well worth taking the time to read

Actually, I wrote to Fox UK just last week about a book of the original production art, and how it could be tied-in to the 50th anniversary of the novel. I suspect that UK merchandising is usually a bit more subdued though, so maybe Fox US might be a better option. So if anyone has any contact email addresses they'd be willing to share... please do.

OPEN LETTER to Patrick Michael Tilton



Hey Patrick,

I am Drew Gaska - Author of Conspiracy. if you want to set up a public Q&A, I can explain a bunch of things which I believe you have taken out of hand. Some of the things you have mentioned on your message board (POTA_Phenomenon) I have already debunked on the Apecalypse Forums, and others that you think are incorrect are because you don't have the whole story yet - The sequel to Conspiracy (which I am finishing the first draft of) comes out next Fall. Please realize that I am a life long fan of the franchise, and my plan was to make all the conflicting facts make sense together - something I am working hard to make happen.

It is an ambitious project - something that has never been done in an official manner before, and I am bound to make a few mistakes along the way. I am only human, and the apes only give me access to a computer a few hours a day.

You say in your post that you don't want to "dump" on someone else's interpretation - but your frustration at my officially licensed book that I have poured my heart and finances into is coming through in a somewhat unprofessional manner - I would rather be open to discussion to address your concerns.

Feel free to contact me - I would love to address these issues with all the fans. It will help me to make sure I am serving the franchise in the best manner as well. Its all about ape love!

Yours,

Drew Gaska

I already posted disagreeing about at least 3 of the sequels...'Battle' was a bit weak, but the first 3 certainly shouldn't be on a worst list. Now, 2001, that's another matter LOL.

I know this is awfully belated, but I do want to express my condolences to those in Australia who suffered flood-related devastation. Living in a valley that used to be at the bottom of Lake Agassiz, I've had to deal with record floods the last couple years, and it's a good thing I live in a part of town that is generally higher up than many other places.

But it breaks my heart to know that POTA fans have lost a lot of their collectibles Down Under. I don't know what I would do if that kinda thing happened to me. I'd probably go "ape-shit"... literally.

They want to build a pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico... to pipe natural gas, or oil, or some such pollutants. What they really need is a fecking aqueduct that can siphon off excess water from North Dakota (where we tend to have too much, in spring-time) to Texas, where they're suffering from record droughts, even though Gov. Perry has Jesus on his side...

Anyway, I hope things are getting better in Post-Flood Australia. Do like me and invest in some airtight/watertight totes. It can't hurt...

Patrick

A sonnet, in tetrameter, for Neil

Consider this condolence I'm sending
A well-meant trifle of little worth,
For a Life -- from beginning to too-soon ending --
Once lost, leaves little remembrance on Earth.
Like river waters a-seaward wending,
Life's moments empty, as if to a firth
Where saltwater tears with pure water blending
Remove whom we've lost, like ships from a berth.
Yet those who've lost ones loved remember,
As long as they live, those no longer living,
Which ever reminds us that dark December
Is not Time's end... each new year's giving
Is Time's great gift to those in sorrow:
The tears of today will be gone tomorrow.

8track.jpg

I'm trying to untangle the different versions of the various POTA soundtracks that have been released over the years and I came across this on Billboard magazine's archives. If you can't read it, the gist is that Fox signed the full rights for the first POTA soundtrack over to a company with the wonderfully exciting name 'International Tape Cartridge Corporation' (ITCC). This and a few other Billboard articles from the same time mention that this was a first, because ITCC were a company that specialised in 4-track and 8-track cartridges. It says ITCC in turn licensed the 'disk rights' out to Project 3, who did the soundtrack LP, but that they were releasing the 8-track cartridge on their own ITCC label. Now, I know the POTA 8-track is an extremely rare collectible, but any photos I've seen have the Project 3 artwork/logo on them, so I think it's very unlikely there were any ITCC cartridges actually produced. That said, I've found a handful of cartridges by other artists that were indeed put out on the ITCC label. So - bit of a long-shot here - if anyone can enlighten me further I'd be very grateful.

That should say their label was called 'ITCO', not 'ITCC'. But I think in all the time we've had the internet that one of these would have turned up by now if they ever existed. I'd be interested to know if the ITCC stamp was on the 8-tracks that HAVE turned up, if anyone has one. Whitty? Tim?

Preview of BOOM's newest comic. The artwork is nice, or at least, the outfits, etc, are 'proper' POTA. The gorillas remind me of Marvel comics - not screen acurate yet they have a familiar feel to them. Of course, it ain't Foster...

The filmmakers and the studio are reportedly hashing out where the "Rise" sequel should go, so this seems like a good time to let our imaginations run wild and offer our own dream sequels. The first instinct is to use "Battle" as the model as "Conquest" was for "Rise" and that seems to be where the early suggestions from the director went. The humans forced underground by the virus (like the mutants in "Battle"), Koba (the bitter medical experiment chimp) wanting revenge (and possible genocide) on the humans (like Aldo), and Caesar trying to keep everyone calm (like, well, Caesar). There was also Maurice, the smarty orangutan, who reminded me of Virgil. The director has suggested the new generation of apes would be soldiers patrolling the evacuated human world (though with some humans that are immune to the virus to battle). This he has compared to "Full Metal Jacket" or maybe "12 Monkeys". The apes having the run of the human world would be groovy, especially if the movie is released around the time of the 50th anniversary of Boulle's book in 2013. Apes in the modern human world.

This conception is fine with me. I also wouldn't mind bringing back some of the human actors from "Rise". Personally, I liked that cast and felt they were underused. It's already been suggested that Franco is immune to the virus (when that Franklin dude sneezes blood) so if Franco and Pinto are above ground helping Caesar that would be cool. Brian Cox could return as the villain (he certainly seems like the Kolp type). I could see "Rise 2" finishing the story of these characters (maybe ending with a statue of Caesar like "Battle" did) and then "Rise 3" taking place in the future. I still say I'd love to see "Rise 2" come out in 2013 for the Boulle 50th and "Rise 3" in 2018 for the movie 50th, especially if it's true they plan to tie it into the Heston film.

Here's the director's take on a possible sequel:

Never thought I would see this day happen, but the kinks are still being worked out. The 2012 calendar will be available in 2-3 weeks...not really sure which month I will be...but stay tuned. From what I have seen, the proof for the month of February is awesome (no it wasn't me on it). The title of the calendar will be, "Ladies of the RPF (Replica Prop Forum)."

Isn't this a crazy wonderful idea? I submitted photos that you may already have seen before, but they were my best photos. And, it wasn't a contest, really. The person putting the calendar together was just worried about fluffing it with enough girls...when I replied he was up to 6...and he was trying to collect enough girls/photos to make a 16-month calendar.

It says that it was never published, but it was intended to be the cover for number 20, that was to be published November 5th, 1978.
