Happy Birthday DG!! I think I signed up around late
2003/early 2004, probably just to raid Neil & Michael's comic archives. I
didn't plan on staying nine weeks, let alone nine years, but here we still are.
As I fall out of love with the internet and as the DG slows down, who knows
what the future holds, but I'm glad I stuck around and mis-spent so much time
talking about talking monkeys with my kindred spirits from around the globe -
talking to myself just wouldn't have been the same.
"That's the spirit, keep them flying."

Thanks for a great 10 years, with it's ups and
downs. And being able to say what we want. The current POTA era is an unexpected
pleasure. Too bad it seems to have come too late for some
fans. <.html |

"Variety" did a poll of 40 working film composers
to determine the best film scores of all time and Goldsmith's POTA made the Top
10. Just sayin'.

"Dawn of the POTA"/Fox has ape-parantly added
this image to their Facebook page. Does it mean the apes will have guns this
time? Or just that the production is about to hear the starting
gun?

It's not an official image, just something someone who is not connected with the movie did apparently.

Besides New Orleans, "Dawn of the POTA" will
reportedly also shoot in Florida and British Columbia (presumably Vancouver
again). Hmm. Any story ideas that could fit New Orleans and
Florida?

Besides New Orleans, "Dawn of the POTA" will reportedly also shoot in Florida and British Columbia (presumably Vancouver again). Hmm. Any story ideas that could fit New Orleans and
Florida?

This is amazing. I wonder what the chances are of me somehow making this happen? I might need to take some time off of work from my real job.

Some like living in a big city, while others enjoy a more tranquil form of life in less busy places. I'm fine with both types of places and see no reason why a less busy place needs to shut down because
it doesn't compare. So, yeah, keep the group going, it'd be a shame to lose it.

| Subject: Brent and Nova - their route from Queensboro Plaza to St. Patrick's |
.html
When Brent and Nova, hiding in a 'cave' that is actually the ruin of the Queensboro Plaza subway station, hear that strange hum, they follow it through the subway tunnels...
eventually finding a larger cave area where a cylindrical tunnel leads up to the 'ground-level' remains of the New York Public Library [NYPL].
If you get out a map of NYC, you'll notice that the NYPL is closer to Grand Central Terminal than the cathedral housing the Doomsday Bomb. More on that fact later...
If Brent and Nova are being lured into the domain of the Mutants by Mendez XXVI and his pals, why are they then
sent on a long detour from midtown all the way to the southern tip of Manhattan, to the site of the ruin of the New York Stock Exchange [NYSE] building?
If the point is to get these two humans lured to the area where the five top Mutants can interrogate them, then why not have them telepathically coaxed to go from the vicinity of the NYPL directly to Grand Central?
It's only a few blocks away, after all! Why have them go over three miles away to the tip of Manhattan (to the vicinity of the NYSE) and then all the way back
to the same midtown region where the ruins of Radio City Music Hall (etc) await them?
Why why WHY???
It seems to me that it would make sense for the Mutants to lure Brent and Nova from the vicinity of the NYPL directly to where they are waiting, at Grand Central Terminal. It would
make sense, that is, if it were the Mutants who were luring Brent and Nova.
But... what if somebody else is doing the telepathic luring?
In my
scenario, the mind-powers of these Mutants are similar to the abilities possessed by the so-called "gods" of the ancient world. One of those "gods" is a major character in my POTA
story, and it was he who was preparing to introduce terrestrial life forms to the "New Earth" world that Taylor's mission was sent out to explore, some 320 light-years away from our Solar System in the
constellation Orion. That "god" -- known anciently by names such as Eden, Aten, Wotan, Odin, Votan... and Thoth/Tehuti
/Teoti... and Enki, Ea, Yah, El, Hermes, Mercury... and Kon-Tiki-Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl
, Kukulcan
-- that god last interfered with Mankind's cultural/political development by masterminding, behind-the-scenes, the creation of the United States of America prior to leaving the planet Earth in order to prepare
his "New Earth" 320 light-years away. As the Grand Master of a secret society which included George Washington, Jefferson, Franklin (et alia
), this "god" was known by a combination of four of his prior names: Ea + Enki + Tehuti + El... pronounced as "Yankee Doodle."
This "god" -- in my scenario -- is present at the New Earth system in the year 2503 when a galactic terrorism incident results in the sunlike star of that system being destroyed in an artificially-induced
supernova. Yankee Doodle survives that event, only to be trapped in a time-warping orbit around the supernova remnant Black Hole left behind. From his
perspective, only a single day goes by (i.e. Ship-Time) for every thousand years that the universe ages (i.e. Earth-Time)... so that he experiences 1.475 days during the 1,475 years that go by between the years 2503
and 3978.
In 3978, when the Orion Mission (of which Taylor and Brent, with others, are a part) encounters the Black Hole around which Yankee Doodle is time-warping, that God-of-old is rescued by their close approach to his
position, and he is able to work it so that when they all zip back to the Sol System (and planet Earth), they do so by flying through the ring-shaped singularity at the heart of the spinning Black Hole... going
backwards through Time, from 3978 to 3955, with all the Earth-Time clocks on all the ships involved registering this change except for the one in Taylor's shuttle
, which had gotten "unplugged" from the computer feed of the "mothership" -- due to the tractor beam of Yankee Doodle's ship unexpectedly tugging that ship out of its docking socket.
Anyway, the upshot of it is that when the cluster of ships ends its spacetime-warping jump through hyperspace, they're all in the upper atmosphere of the Earth... way too close for comfort. Taylor's shuttle
breaks away (its guy wire snapping off) and falls separately towards the Earth's surface, whereas the other ships then make a "microjump" through hyperspace to a safer location further away from the Earth.
But, before that microjump, a group of three has suited up in those helmeted spacesuits later seen in the opening scenes of ESCAPE
, and they've flown that 3rd and smaller shuttle -- the one with the gull-wing hatch -- away from the "mothership"... following after Taylor's falling ship. As one of the ANSA astronauts pilots
their ship down to a safe landing somewhere on the shoreline of the ocean, a second ANSA astronaut -- using a ship-to-ship computer link -- remotely pilots Taylor's shuttle down to its water landing in Dead Lake.
All those maneuvers we see in the "ship's-eye-view" landing scene (after the opening credits of PLANET
) are performed by an ANSA astronaut working a joystick, trying to find a safe place to land a ship with one dead (Stewart) and three still-hibernating astronauts (Taylor, Landon, and Dodge) aboard it.
The 3-seater shuttle had 3 people in it, and they left behind those 3 pressure suits and helmets. In my scenario, the two humans who had been captured by the Hunt Club on the very day when Taylor had been subjected
to that "hearing"/Tribunal... the two humans who were almost
reunited with Taylor when Zira and Lucius encountered those gorillas on their way out of Ape City to rendezvous with Cornelius... those two humans are the two ANSA astronauts who were on that 3rd shuttle.
And, with them in that shuttle, was the ancient "god" whom they've just met, whom they've just gone through hyperspace with: Yankee Doodle.
So, then, after landing that 3rd shuttle on the ocean shore, those two ANSA guys and Yankee Doodle will naturally seek out the just-revived ANSA astronauts who've survived in that other ship: Taylor, Landon, and
Dodge. The catch is, they're too far away for Yankee Doodle to use his telepathic abilities to directly make contact with them... because, between the two groups there is a dangerous source of telepathic trouble
that has suddenly become aware of the presence of both groups on either side of their zone of influence: the Mutants.
Before Yankee Doodle can do anything to prevent it, one of the two ANSA astronauts trekking across the Forbidden Zone with him is "puppeteered" into firing a round of ammunition directly at him.
"God" has just gotten shot.
But, although the wound is serious, it isn't one that will kill him right away. Using his own mental abilities, Yankee cuts off the Mutant control of his companions, and sends them off towards the south... in
the direction of the only other Thinking Beings of whom he is aware -- the Apes in the inhabited areas on the other side of that dashed line across Cornelius' map.
Those two ANSA astronauts -- no longer armed with the pistol -- leave Yankee behind... and, ultimately, they are captured by the gorillas of the Hunt Club on the same day that Taylor's tribunal/hearing is held.
In my scenario, Milo will eventually encounter them, learning from them the location of the ANSA spaceship which they landed on the shore, miles past the location of the Statue of Liberty, which (of course) leads to him
going there, later, with Cornelius and Zira, after their return from the Cave site with Zaius.
Meanwhile, Yankee Doodle -- wounded though he is -- finds his way down into the subterranean ruins of the region of lower Manhatten... to the very site where he witnessed George Washington give his inaugural address
on 30 April 1789, the first capitol building used by the United States of America: Federal Hall.
So... the Grand Master "God"-of-yore, telepathic Yankee Doodle, finds himself on the verge of death from the gunshot wound that the Mutants ("possessing" his companion astronaut) inflicted on
him. He's holed away in the ruins of the site where George Washington became the first President of the United States of America...
... and then he senses the presence of Brent and Nova in the ruins of the subway station, miles away. His only hope is to find a way to transcarnate
... to project his own Mind into a receptive brain capable of receiving his imprint, the way he perpetuated his existence for thousands of years before he ultimately left the Earth shortly after bequeathing to
America his blessings.
So he uses his telepathic abilities to lure Brent and Nova through the subway tunnels from Queens to Manhattan... through the cylindrical air-ducts leading to the emergence point in front of the NYPL... all the
while creating a mental "static" that prevents the Mutants from interfering with his efforts. Even when Brent and Nova are only a few blocks away from Grand Central, the Mutants are unaware of their presence,
and Yankee Doodle successfully coaxes them to make their way over 3 miles away from the NYPL... down to the area where the NYSE building's ruins can be seen -- a site which is cater-corner from Freedom Hall
.
In my scenario, Yankee Doodle's reason for luring Brent and Nova all the way there is so that he can put Nova into a trance-state, during a rest period Brent and Nova take. During that time, Yankee Doodle
transcarnates into the brain of the fetus gestating within Nova's womb.
Yes. Nova had gotten pregnant from Taylor... and the still-developing brain of that unborn child receives the very imprint of the Mind of "God".
The only problem is, having "jumped ship" (so to speak), from his dying body into the fetus still growing inside Nova, Yankee Doodle becomes vulnerable... unable thenceforth to use all
of his mental abilities. In an ideal world, he would be able to gestate peacefully, with his mother well away from any dangers for the 8 more months she needs to carry him to term.
But they're not on any ideal world; they're on the planet of the apes!
When Nova reawakens from her trance-state, she is carrying Taylor's son... who is now the next incarnation of Yankee Doodle, who -- long ago -- had been known as the "psychopomp" god Hermes
/Mercury, a.k.a. Tehuti/Thoth
, the god who was able to guide human souls through from one life to a "next" life. Others could not reincarnate of their own will -- they needed Enki/Yankee to act as the psychic catalyst in this
alchemical reaction... but Yankee himself can transcarnate all on his own. But... once he does so, he is temporarily vulnerable, since his Mind is inside the not-yet-fully-developed brain of a fetus.
Thus, when Brent and Nova make their way from the NYSE/Federal Hall area of lower Manhattan back up to the vicinity of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Mutants have finally become aware of the presence of these two
surface-dwellers in their subterranean domains. Perhaps subconsciously, they can detect the presence of a Mind greater than that of Mendez growing inside Nova...
... so they try to get Brent to
kill her. But, luckily for Nova (and for Yankee Doodle), Brent is just barely
within the "puppeteering" range of Negro... and, by exerting his will to the utmost, Brent is able to shake off the controlling influence, regaining control over his own motor cortex: "Get out
! Get out of my head!"
I'll wrap it up for now, by ending this exposition of my POTA
scenario with this question: When Nova is shot by that gorilla outside the cell wherein Taylor and Brent fought and, ultimately, killed the puppeteering Negro... did her unborn child get hit by one of the rounds?
Taylor checked Nova's pulse (her wrist), and obviously could tell that her heart had stopped. He then expresses his anguish in a way that makes it clear that Nova has just died.
But it takes time for the entire body
to die. How much time does a living fetus have before the death of its "host" mother results in its own death? When Nova dies... does her unborn child die at the same time? Or, does it have a window of
time wherein it could be saved, even though its host-mother is dead?
When Nova dies... is the "God" inside her doomed?

The only thing in President Morsi's description
that rings a bell is "You did it to yourselves". That's what Zauis sez to the
as-tro-nauts in the first ep of the TV series. Maybe that's what he saw.

to St. Patrick's Cathedral
When Brent and Nova, hiding in a 'cave' that is actually the ruin of the
Queensboro Plaza subway station, hear that strange hum, they follow it through
the subway tunnels... eventually finding a larger cave area where a cylindrical
tunnel leads up to the 'ground-level' remains of the New York Public Library
[NYPL].
If you get out a map of NYC, you'll notice that the NYPL is closer
to Grand Central Terminal than the cathedral housing the Doomsday Bomb.
More on that fact later...
If Brent and Nova are being lured into the domain of the Mutants by Mendez
XXVI and his pals, why are they then sent on a long detour from midtown
all the way to the southern tip of Manhattan, to the site of the ruin of the New
York Stock Exchange [NYSE] building?
If the point is to get these two humans lured to the area where the five
top Mutants can interrogate them, then why not have them telepathically coaxed
to go from the vicinity of the NYPL directly to Grand Central? It's only a few
blocks away, after all! Why have them go over three miles away to the tip
of Manhattan (to the vicinity of the NYSE) and then all the way
back to the same midtown region where the ruins of Radio City
Music Hall (etc) await them?
Why why WHY???
It seems to me that it would make sense for the Mutants to lure Brent and
Nova from the vicinity of the NYPL directly to where they are waiting, at Grand
Central Terminal. It would make sense, that is, if it were the Mutants
who were luring Brent and Nova.
But... what if somebody else is doing the telepathic luring?
In my scenario, the mind-powers of these Mutants are similar to the
abilities possessed by the so-called "gods" of the ancient world. One of those
"gods" is a major character in my POTA story, and it was he who
was preparing to introduce terrestrial life forms to the "New Earth" world that
Taylor's mission was sent out to explore, some 320 light-years away from our
Solar System in the constellation Orion. That "god" -- known anciently by names
such as Eden, Aten, Wotan,
Odin, Votan... and
Thoth/Tehuti/Teoti... and
Enki, Ea, Yah, El,
Hermes, Mercury... and
Kon-Tiki-Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan
-- that god last interfered with Mankind's cultural/political
development by masterminding, behind-the-scenes, the creation of the United
States of America prior to leaving the planet Earth in order to prepare his "New
Earth" 320 light-years away. As the Grand Master of a secret society which
included George Washington, Jefferson, Franklin (et alia), this "god" was
known by a combination of four of his prior names: Ea + Enki
+ Tehuti + El... pronounced as "Yankee
Doodle."
This "god" -- in my scenario -- is present at the New Earth system in the
year 2503 when a galactic terrorism incident results in the sunlike star of that
system being destroyed in an artificially-induced supernova. Yankee Doodle
survives that event, only to be trapped in a time-warping orbit around the
supernova remnant Black Hole left behind. From his perspective, only a
single day goes by (i.e. Ship-Time) for every thousand years that the universe
ages (i.e. Earth-Time)... so that he experiences 1.475 days during the 1,475
years that go by between the years 2503 and 3978.
In 3978, when the Orion Mission (of which Taylor and Brent, with others,
are a part) encounters the Black Hole around which Yankee Doodle is
time-warping, that God-of-old is rescued by their close approach to his
position, and he is able to work it so that when they all zip back to the Sol
System (and planet Earth), they do so by flying through the ring-shaped
singularity at the heart of the spinning Black Hole... going backwards through
Time, from 3978 to 3955, with all the Earth-Time clocks on all the ships
involved registering this change except for the one in Taylor's shuttle,
which had gotten "unplugged" from the computer feed of the "mothership" -- due
to the tractor beam of Yankee Doodle's ship unexpectedly tugging that ship out
of its docking socket.
Anyway, the upshot of it is that when the cluster of ships ends its
spacetime-warping jump through hyperspace, they're all in the upper atmosphere
of the Earth... way too close for comfort. Taylor's shuttle breaks away (its guy
wire snapping off) and falls separately towards the Earth's surface, whereas the
other ships then make a "microjump" through hyperspace to a safer location
further away from the Earth.
But, before that microjump, a group of three has suited up in those
helmeted spacesuits later seen in the opening scenes of ESCAPE,
and they've flown that 3rd and smaller shuttle -- the one with the gull-wing
hatch -- away from the "mothership"... following after Taylor's falling ship. As
one of the ANSA astronauts pilots their ship down to a safe landing somewhere on
the shoreline of the ocean, a second ANSA astronaut -- using a ship-to-ship
computer link -- remotely pilots Taylor's shuttle down to its water landing in
Dead Lake. All those maneuvers we see in the "ship's-eye-view" landing scene
(after the opening credits of PLANET) are performed by an ANSA
astronaut working a joystick, trying to find a safe place to land a ship with
one dead (Stewart) and three still-hibernating astronauts (Taylor, Landon, and
Dodge) aboard it.
The 3-seater shuttle had 3 people in it, and they left behind those 3
pressure suits and helmets. In my scenario, the two humans who had been captured
by the Hunt Club on the very day when Taylor had been subjected to that
"hearing"/Tribunal... the two humans who were almost reunited with Taylor
when Zira and Lucius encountered those gorillas on their way out of Ape City to
rendezvous with Cornelius... those two humans are the two ANSA astronauts who
were on that 3rd shuttle.
And, with them in that shuttle, was the ancient "god" whom they've just
met, whom they've just gone through hyperspace with: Yankee Doodle.
So, then, after landing that 3rd shuttle on the ocean shore, those two ANSA
guys and Yankee Doodle will naturally seek out the just-revived ANSA astronauts
who've survived in that other ship: Taylor, Landon, and Dodge. The catch is,
they're too far away for Yankee Doodle to use his telepathic abilities to
directly make contact with them... because, between the two groups there is a
dangerous source of telepathic trouble that has suddenly become aware of the
presence of both groups on either side of their zone of influence: the
Mutants.
Before Yankee Doodle can do anything to prevent it, one of the two ANSA
astronauts trekking across the Forbidden Zone with him is "puppeteered" into
firing a round of ammunition directly at him. "God" has just gotten
shot.
But, although the wound is serious, it isn't one that will kill him right
away. Using his own mental abilities, Yankee cuts off the Mutant control of his
companions, and sends them off towards the south... in the direction of the only
other Thinking Beings of whom he is aware -- the Apes in the inhabited areas on
the other side of that dashed line across Cornelius' map.
Those two ANSA astronauts -- no longer armed with the pistol -- leave
Yankee behind... and, ultimately, they are captured by the gorillas of the Hunt
Club on the same day that Taylor's tribunal/hearing is held. In my scenario,
Milo will eventually encounter them, learning from them the location of the ANSA
spaceship which they landed on the shore, miles past the location of the Statue
of Liberty, which (of course) leads to him going there, later, with Cornelius
and Zira, after their return from the Cave site with Zaius.
Meanwhile, Yankee Doodle -- wounded though he is -- finds his way down into
the subterranean ruins of the region of lower Manhatten... to the very site
where he witnessed George Washington give his inaugural address on 30 April
1789, the first capitol building used by the United States of America: Federal
Hall.
So... the Grand Master "God"-of-yore, telepathic Yankee Doodle, finds
himself on the verge of death from the gunshot wound that the Mutants
("possessing" his companion astronaut) inflicted on him. He's holed away in the
ruins of the site where George Washington became the first President of the
United States of America...
... and then he senses the presence of Brent and Nova in the ruins of the
subway station, miles away. His only hope is to find a way to
transcarnate... to project his own Mind into a receptive brain
capable of receiving his imprint, the way he perpetuated his existence for
thousands of years before he ultimately left the Earth shortly after bequeathing
to America his blessings.
So he uses his telepathic abilities to lure Brent and Nova through the
subway tunnels from Queens to Manhattan... through the cylindrical air-ducts
leading to the emergence point in front of the NYPL... all the while creating a
mental "static" that prevents the Mutants from interfering with his efforts.
Even when Brent and Nova are only a few blocks away from Grand Central, the
Mutants are unaware of their presence, and Yankee Doodle successfully coaxes
them to make their way over 3 miles away from the NYPL... down to the area where
the NYSE building's ruins can be seen -- a site which is cater-corner from
Freedom Hall.
In my scenario, Yankee Doodle's reason for luring Brent and Nova all the
way there is so that he can put Nova into a trance-state, during a rest period
Brent and Nova take. During that time, Yankee Doodle transcarnates into the
brain of the fetus gestating within Nova's womb.
Yes. Nova had gotten pregnant from Taylor... and the still-developing brain
of that unborn child receives the very imprint of the Mind of "God".
The only problem is, having "jumped ship" (so to speak), from his dying
body into the fetus still growing inside Nova, Yankee Doodle becomes
vulnerable... unable thenceforth to use all of his mental
abilities. In an ideal world, he would be able to gestate peacefully, with his
mother well away from any dangers for the 8 more months she needs to carry him
to term.
But they're not on any ideal world; they're on the planet of the
apes!
When Nova reawakens from her trance-state, she is carrying Taylor's son...
who is now the next incarnation of Yankee Doodle, who -- long ago -- had been
known as the "psychopomp" god Hermes/Mercury, a.k.a.
Tehuti/Thoth, the god who was able to guide human
souls through from one life to a "next" life. Others could not reincarnate of
their own will -- they needed Enki/Yankee to act as the psychic catalyst in this
alchemical reaction... but Yankee himself can transcarnate all on his own.
But... once he does so, he is temporarily vulnerable, since his Mind is inside
the not-yet-fully-developed brain of a fetus.
Thus, when Brent and Nova make their way from the NYSE/Federal Hall area of
lower Manhattan back up to the vicinity of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Mutants
have finally become aware of the presence of these two surface-dwellers in their
subterranean domains. Perhaps subconsciously, they can detect the presence of a
Mind greater than that of Mendez growing inside Nova...
... so they try to get Brent to kill her. But, luckily for
Nova (and for Yankee Doodle), Brent is just barely within the
"puppeteering" range of Negro... and, by exerting his will to the utmost, Brent
is able to shake off the controlling influence, regaining control over his own
motor cortex: "Get out! Get out of my head!"
I'll wrap it up for now, by ending this exposition of my POTA
scenario with this question: When Nova is shot by that gorilla outside
the cell wherein Taylor and Brent fought and, ultimately, killed the
puppeteering Negro... did her unborn child get hit by one of the rounds? Taylor
checked Nova's pulse (her wrist), and obviously could tell that her heart had
stopped. He then expresses his anguish in a way that makes it clear that
Nova has just died.
But it takes time for the entire body to die. How much time does a
living fetus have before the death of its "host" mother results in its own
death? When Nova dies... does her unborn child die at the same time? Or, does it
have a window of time wherein it could be saved, even though its
host-mother is dead?
When Nova dies... is the "God" inside her doomed?

There's a certain little movie called "The
Hobbit" coming out next week and Andy (Gollum/Caesar) Serkis has been making the
rounds. He gave Comingsoon a quote about "Dawn of the POTA":
"The interesting thing now will be how Caesar
operates in this world - - because of the virus that hits at the end of the
first movie - - and how Caesar brings an accord between the apes and the
surviving humans and that's going to be interesting where we take
that".
Yep, "Battle For the POTA". Serkis has met
director Matt Reeves (that's good, since they shoot in March) and there's been
some preliminary CG tests. Serkis also talks about "Animal Farm", a project he
hopes to direct. That's another one that Rupert Wyatt was going to direct. I
don't want to start rumors but could Serkis and Wyatt have had a falling out?
Wyatt seems to have fallen off the map. All the best to him.

There's lots of POTA folks who are also "Hobbit"
folks, and with that movie right around the corner (are YOU seeing it in 48
frames?) we're getting some updates on "Dawn of the POTA" (basically that they
are still prepping it). Joe Letteri answers some questions in this video. The
big "whew!" is that it's not a problem to juggle all these projects. Besides
"Apes", WETA has two more years of "The Hobbit", they are prepping "Avatar 2
& 3" to start shooting next year and they also have a hand in movies like
"Man of Steel" (Superman), "The Wolverine" and "Iron Man 3". He says starting
with "Avatar" they restructured how they approach motion capture/CG characters
and he talks a little about that.

showing complete runs of the TV show and the cartoons long before DVD
existed, but including interviews with Roddy McDowall and others. It even had
Roddy hosting a week of POTA movies (at this point I wanted to link to a youtube

Beyond that, it was just a great place with
terrific shows like "Sci-Fi Buzz", "Bob (Burns)'s Basement", commentaries by the
great Harlan Ellison, and regular features on people working on sci-fi projects
(James Cameron, Stan Winston, etc.). Damn, in the days before the internet these
were gold. They also produced one of my favorite TV shows of all time, the
reboot of "Battlestar Galactica".
Anyway, since then they changed their name to Sy

ghost hunter shows. It's almost laughable that they are coming out with a
"history of science fiction" book and a 20th anniversary special (Dec. 10th),

The actor who played the gorillas Zon and Jason
on the POTA TV show has died. He never really had the role that would make
people go, "Oh, him!" but he seemed to work steady and certainly his work on
POTA was memorable. Zon was the racist bad guy in "The Deception" and
Jason was the by the book gorilla in "The Gladiators" (he didn't share your
tender concern for humans). He was also in the 1974 movie "Moonchild" that
starred Victor Buono. Probably he didn't dream of being remembered for playing
gorillas but we take our fame where we can get it. Thanks for the fun,
Pat.

It looks like "Dawn of the POTA" is joining the
crowd and going 3D. This will give a chance to collect those higher 3D tickets
and perhaps give it a shot at the $1 billion club. Though it hasn't started
shooting yet, it doesn't like they are going to shoot in 3D but just
post-convert it after the fact like most movies do. I don't usually bother with
3D unless it was filmed that way ("Avatar", "The Hobbit") but I will probably
check out apes in the 3rd dimension.

Subject: "Dawn" - not much more time
It would seem that "Dawn of the POTA" would have
much more time to perfect the FX, considering "Rise of the POTA" came together
in about a year and a half, whereas "Dawn" has 3 years since "Rise". But, no.
According to my calculations, "Rise" got 13 months from the start of filming
until release (July 2010 to Aug. 2011), and "Dawn" gets 14 months (March 2013 to
May 2014). We are now ape-proximately half way between "Rise" and "Dawn" and
that time has been spent on the script (thankfully). But even there "Dawn" gets
shortchanged, since the "Rise" script was in development since 2007.
I guess the advantage "Dawn" has is that
the studio didn't have much expectations for "Rise" but now that it was a huge
hit (it made more than "Batman Begins", more than the recent "Star Trek", more
than any "X-Men") Fox will be willing to throw money at it to make those special
effects special. Plus they need time to make it 3D. Maybe it is true that Rupert
Wyatt didn't feel he had enough time. But really, POTA is not getting any less
time than other franchises get. It used to be 3 years between "Star Wars" movies
but Disney is planning one every two years. Two years is the new three years and
welcome to it. <.html |

In the text accopanying that picture, Landis writes that his part was cut out of the movie, but I could swear that that scene is in the background somewhere in the movie. Perhaps it is just
me thinking that because I've seen that picture before. I think his name is also in the final credits which also leads me to believe that he is in the final movie cut.

Doesn't look good for James Franco's return in
"Dawn of the POTA". Even when Rupert Wyatt was directing, Franco was only slated
for a cameo. Now he sez there's just radio silence:
"I was going to be a small part of the next
one... there was one scene, between Caesar and my character, maybe even just
like on a video that was left behind, but then a lot of things happened, like
Tom Rothman, who was a big part of the first movie, left. Now Rupert's not a
part of it so I don't know. My guess is I won't be in it. Nobody's talked to me
since Rupert left".

I went to the collectibles convention last
Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium that featured POTA guests. Not really a
convention so much as a marketplace. No Q & As or anything, just expensive
stuff in a kind of "Ebay Live". But it was good to see some of the POTA folks
I've known. Booth Colman, Ron Harper, Bobby Porter, Lou Wagner, Lee Delano,
Austin Stoker, H. M. Wynant, France Nuyen were there. Linda Harrison was a no
show and Natalie Trundy made a rare convention appearance.
I asked some of them their thoughts on "Rise of
the POTA" and "Argo". None seemed particularly blown away by "Rise". Booth felt
it had a good script (but not so much "Argo"; he didn't think the dialogue
sounded natural) while Ron sez the ape action was too over the top (ape
attacking helicopter, etc.). Bobby Porter loved "Argo", he and John Chambers
were working on a movie together when John was involved in the Argo scheme to
free hostages. Bobby was a lot of fun. I hadn't seen him since StarCon '96 and
he's one of the nicest and most enthusiastic folks you'd want to meet.
Austin Stoker received a royalty for
the "Battle" clip in "Argo" so he wasn't complaining. I asked him what he
thought of the remake of the movie he starred in, "Assault on Precinct 13" and
he just said they had way to much fire power to make the plot work (the movie in
reality would've ended much sooner). Chalk up another one for "over the top". I
guess that's what Hollywood does best these days. But it also provides us with
terrific actors to talk to. Not a bad way to kick off

one of Bill's residual checks. He got one as recently as 2007 (for a scene that

"No one was going to make this movie feel and exist as truthfully as Matt
did."
- - - J. J. Abrams on "Cloverfield"
By the time 2013 ends, it looks like Matt Reeves
will have directed a POTA movie. Who dat? I first heard of Reeves as a seminal
filmmaking pal of J. J. Abrams. I was a big "Alias" fan back in the day and
Reeves was a part of Abrams' bio and even appeared in an "Alias" DVD extra.
Abrams and Reeves met as teens through their love of making amateur movies. They
were both in a filmmaking contest that was written about in the L. A. Times
("Beardless Wonders of Film Making" by Robert Young, 1982). The article brought
them to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who hired the two of them to repair
his own old amateur movies he made as a teen. These years are chronicled in a
DVD extra for Abrams' film "Super 8" ("The Dream Behind Super 8").
The cool thing is they continued to be friends
and important to each other as filmmakers. At USC film school, Reeves met Brian
Burk and introduced him to Abrams; Burk became Abrams' main producer and
co-founder of his famous production company Bad Robot. Abrams produced Reeves'
first feature film (and then produced his second 12 years later). They created
the show "Felicity" together, Abrams' first dive into TV. So how come J. J.
Abrams is so well known and Matt Reeves, well, not so much?
When they started out, Reeves was the director of
the duo. Reeves directed and J. J. produced (as Jeffrey Abrams) the 1996 David
Schwimmer vehicle "The Pallbearer" (this was the "Friends" era). It's about a
guy who is mistaken as the friend of a just deceased former classmate and is
asked to be a pallbearer at the guy's funeral (even though he doesn't remember
him). He winds up getting romantic with dead guy's overbearing mother, though he
really wants Gwyneth Paltrow (wouldn't you?). It's a sweet romantic comedy with
just the right touch of melancholy, and Reeves did a good job on his first
feature. The movie got some decent reviews (Roger Ebert compared it to "The
Graduate":
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19960503/REVIEWS/605030307/1023 )
but it didn't get noticed at the box office. Needless to say, Schwimmer did not
become a movie star and Reeves' career didn't take off.
Next they tried TV (which would be kismet for
Abrams). Together they created and produced the WB show "Felicity" and Reeves
directed the first two shows (giving him the distinction of being the first
person to ever direct an episode of a J. J. Abrams TV show). "Felicity" did
well, lasting 4 years. In the meantime, Abrams created "Alias", which really
launched his career in more ways than one. He started his company Bad Robot,
grabbed composer Michael Giacchino and never looked back. "Alias" begat the
smash show "Lost". "Alias" made fans of Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, the
latter hiring Abrams to direct his first feature film, the high profile
"Mission: Impossible 3" (basically "Alias: the Movie" and featuring Felicity
herself, Keri Russell). As a movie director he became the golden boy of
Paramount Studios, who handed him the keys to their important "Star Trek"
franchise. Meanwhile, his TV empire continued; currently he has on the air
"Revolution", Person of Interest" and "Fringe" (until January
18th).
So what happened to Matt Reeves? Dunno,
presumably the classic "development hell". He directed some episodes of TV, but
curiously after "Felicity" he never directed one of Abrams shows, even though
they would seem to be the kind of shows a director would love to do. Instead
they grabbed him for their monster movie "Cloverfield". Conceived by Abrams as
an American Godzilla with a twist, it would be the classic "monster destroying a
city" but seen through the lens of a camcorder (Abrams would kind of do his own
version set in the earlier world of 8 mm with "Super 8"). Abrams has said he
chose Reeves to direct it because of his talent for bringing believability to a
story (important when the event is supposed to be actually happening on the
other end of a camcorder). By then Abrams was known for stories with twists and
turns and surprises (exemplified by "Lost"), what he called "mystery box"
storytelling (Rod Serling is his personal hero). And the promotion of
"Cloverfield" seemed to run with that idea, building curiosity around the movie.
The ad campaign (with it's signature image of a decapitated Statue of Liberty)
did much to turn "Cloverfield" into a hit and put Matt on the map in 2008, 12
years after "The Pallbearer".
Reeves was offered the Americanized remake of the
Swedish vampire film "Let the Right One In", based on a novel by John Ajvide
Lindqvist. Reeves' resulting movie, "Let Me In", has been criticized for just
being a copy of a terrific Swedish film (not unlike what happened with the "Girl
With the Dragon Tatoo" situation). In fact, Reeves originally turned down the
movie for the same reason (it's already a good movie, why redo it?). But after
reading the book he felt a personal connection to the story and saw how he could
tell it differently. Reeves looks at it this way: "The fun of genre movies is
that you can smuggle in something completely real under the surface of the
vampire or monster metaphor". Reeves saw it as a coming of age story (and wanted
the bullying to be scarier than the vampires), so he told it from the boy's
point-of-view in a "Rear Window" approach. Thus some characters in the book and
original movie got shortchanged. He got the blessing of the book's author (a
"Cloverfield" fan) and made it his own, including references that had stayed
with him from his own youth (Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech, the Now and Later
candy jingle). In this "Twilight" age when vampires are a dime a dozen (but make
a lot more than that at the box office!), Reeves created a powerful film. For
those who want to judge Reeves' chops, it's the film to see.
It's interesting how far Reeves and Abrams have
come together, and to note their most recent films are very personal takes on
their own adolescence when they first met, but told through fantasy with a nod
to the masters of that time. Abrams' "Super 8" (set in 1979) is of course a
tribute to Steven Spielberg, who started the two on their professional way. "Let
Me In" (set in 1983) reminds me very much of Stephen King (though I'm not an
expert on King of horror movies). King himself considered "Let Me In" his
favorite movie of 2010 and "the best American horror film in the last 20 years".
The book's author considered it worth the double dip, saying it "puts the
emotional pressure in different places and stands firmly on it's own legs. Like
the Swedish movie it made me cry but not at the same points. (It) is a dark and
violent love story, a beautiful piece of cinema and a respectful rendering for
which I am grateful".
Even with it's low budget, "Let Me In" was a big
flop, so it was back to the drawing board for Reeves. He's always seemed to have
bad luck getting stuff made (3 films in 17 years), but he seems in demand to
develop movies and TV. In 2012 Fox signed him to create some TV. Fox TV chairman
Gary Newman sez: "(Reeves) has been one of the top 2 - 3 drama director names
every pilot season that every studio goes to with their best projects
...(because) Matt loves developing characters, a form of storytelling that is
found more in TV than any other media".
Fox seems to promote from within, so maybe it's
no surprise that when things didn't work out with "Rise" director Rupert Wyatt,
Reeves became the frontrunner to direct the sequel. Which is why we're here.
Reeves hasn't really generated much enthusiasm as the announced director. A lot
of people felt "Rise" was a special film that made POTA a player again, and
they're giving it to the guy that made "Cloverfield"?! So what will Reeves bring
to the table? Since Reeves was announced Oct. 1st there's been almost nothing
about what the sequel will be. Andy Serkis has met with Reeves and seems to like
him and his ideas ("Rise" was a big moment for Serkis so I don't think he's
going taking the sequel lightly). All we really have to go on are his films and
his comments (I've listened to his DVD commentaries and I like the guy). I think
he considered "Cloverfield" a technical exersize (important stuff to know if
you're going to do a movie with CG apes). "The Pallbearer" and "Let Me In" seem
more personal to him. Both are about lonely nebbishes who own Rubik's Cubes and
grab for desperate love (whether the mother of a deceased classmate or a
vampire). Loneliness and the need for connection seem to be at the core of
Reeves' movies thus far. Will Caesar find it's lonely at the top and fall for a
human (it certainly would be fun seeing him tackle a Rubik's Cube; maybe Rocket
could solve it and hold it up in triumph)?
Also interesting is that Abrams and Reeves share
in common composer Michael Giacchino (main squeeze of Abrams and Pixar,
Oscar-winner for "Up"). Probably Giacchino will do the POTA score (here he sez
how much he digs Reeves: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/46847
). We should leave a little wiggle room for the return of Patrick Doyle, but so
far there's a new director, new writer, new (human cast), new production
designer (James Chinlund, "The Avenger") and new costume designer (Melissa
Brunning, Reeves' "Let Me In") so a new composer doesn't seem a stretch. I know
Giacchino is an "Apes" fan (he told me he loves all of it, the movies, the TV
show, the cartoons), I know that Abrams is an "Apes" fan (here he is with the
DVD Caesar head:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/magazine/16wwln_domains.html"
). But is Reeves a fan? In "Let Me In", Owen wears monkey bandages and an
astronaut jacket and lives in Los Alamos (birthplace of the atomic bomb). Maybe
that's a sign?
Did they let the right one in? Too soon to
tell. But as far as I'm concerned they let an interesting one in, someone who
has been around a while and might just be ready to kick some ass. Maybe POTA
will be the beneficiary. Could Reeves be the next J. J. Abrams? At the very
least it's kind of neat that two friends who met as teens, and worked on
Spielberg's own teenage movies together, are now at the helm of the
two big sci-fi franchises of the '60's, "Star Trek" and POTA.

Austin Stoker received a royalty for
the "Battle" clip in "Argo" so he wasn't complaining. I asked him what he
thought of the remake of the movie he starred in, "Assault on Precinct 13" and
he just said they had way to much fire power to make the plot work (the movie
in reality would've ended much sooner). Chalk up another one for "over the
top". I guess that's what Hollywood does best these days. But it also provides
us with terrific actors to talk to. Not a bad way to kick off
POTA50.

Roger Ebert's Mexico City correspondent wrote
this, a look at "Rise of the POTA". Talks about some of the logic problems (and
isn't too kind to "Escape" and "Conquest" either). I found this because it was
tweeted on Jan. 13 by Mark Bomback, reportedly the current writer of "Dawn of
the POTA". Maybe it's encouraging to know that such an article was not only read
but tweeted by the writer.
But the article does make a mistake; those aren't
real apes in the opening scene.

So, does POTA have a shot at coming out on
top next time? It'll be in 3D so it won't have to gross with one paw tied behind
it's back. What is the competish? No Harry Potters or Pirates this time (and
Spielberg pulled his "Robopocalypse" for script repairs) but you still might
consider this fast company:
May 2 : "Amazing Spiderman 2": Some were
underwhelmed by the last entry. But it's got Jamie Foxx as Electro.
May 16: "Godzilla": This had a demo reel at Comic
Con and there's excitement for it. A gritty Godzilla.
May 16: "Ninja Turtles": Choices, choices. I'll
pass but this franchise has legs and they are protected by a hard
shell.
May 23: "Dawn of the POTA": So far, no
challengers.
May 30: "The Good Dinosaur": Pixar and dinosaurs.
Who could resist?
June 13: "Jurassic Park 4": Universal just
announced this. POTA2001 went up against JP3 and they did about the same. The
Jaffas wrote this. Traitors!
June 20: "How to Train Your Dragon 2": lots of
giant reptiles this summer, including Smaug from "The Hobbit".
June 27: "Transformers 4": Mark Wahlberg returns
to franchise sci-fi. Traitor!
July 2: "Maleficent": Angelina Jolie as the
wicked witch from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty". Tim Burton wanted to direct this.
Almost traitor!
July 18: "X-Men: Days of Future Past": The new
"X-Men" cast with cameos by the old "X-Men" cast in a alternate reality story
directed by original "X-Men" director Bryan Singer. And they're going up against
"The Hobbit"? The smackdown weekend so far.
July 18: "Hobbit 3": Andy Serkis (directing
second unit). Weta. All traitors! Against the wall!!
August 1: "Guardians of the Galaxy": Kind of a
sci-fi "Avengers" with a talking raccoon. But it's still Marvel Comics. Yet
POTA has the "Avengers" production designer.
August 8: The Rock as "Hercules"
OK! Let's do this!!

"Star Trek" (Abrams) and POTA (Reeves). But hold the phone! Now it's been

[PotaDG] "Dawn" of a new look
According to Imdb, the change on "Dawn of the POTA" continues. Michael Seresin will be the director of photography. "Rise" had Andrew Lesnie,
who defined the look of WETA movies ("Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "King Kong"). Seresin goes way back, doing Alan Parker movies like "Bugsy Malone" and "Midnight
Express" in the '70's. He hasn't really done the blockbuster thing, except for a "Harry Potter" movie. But he is from Wellington, New Zealand, home of WETA. Interestingly, he did a sci-fi
movie that comes out this year called "Gravity" (George Clooney, Sandra Bullock) that reportedly has groundbreaking photography simulating, well, gravity. <.html |

I might actually buy these! At least it won’t take long to collect all the RISE figures!

As far as I'm concerned, mwctoys is the best figure review site on the net. Maybe that's not saying much, but Michael Crawford has been doing a great job
over the years. He's the Roger Ebert of toy reviewers (or substitute the name of your favorite film critic). Here's his reviews of the two "Rise" figures released:
And while we're at it, this isn't "Rise" but it's a pretty good James Franco figure: <.html |
