I have just recently learned that a new Planet of the Apes movie is in the works. Entitled; Rise of the Apes.
It is apparently a prequel to the movie. Which confuses me?? I thought we already had several prequels for the classic series? Maybe this will be a prequel for the recent Tim Burton remake...*shudder*..
Guess we'll just have to wait and see...
While I'm not exactly sure what it's a prequel to either, I'm 99% per cent sure I read somewhere that it has NOTHING to do with Tim Burton's best forgotten effort.
ReplyDeleteIt is a prequel to the Tim Burton movie, which I did like up until the ending. The new movie supposedly used motion capture animation though to what extent I am not certain.
ReplyDeleteWell like you guys, I've heard conflicting info, some sources say it is a prequel to Tim Burton's movie other sources say its not.
ReplyDeleteBurton's was ok IMHO at least until the ending which was AWFUL!!!! But for me even the good parts of Tim's movie paled in comparison to the original. Guess we will have to wait for more info to come out.
While I'm always interested to see how they employ new movie making technology in these remakes, I am always wary of what they'll do with the story.
ReplyDeleteI liked that Burton paid more attention to the true nature of real apes and recast the chimps as soldiers instead of thinkers. Chimps are the most savage of all the great apes.
ReplyDeleteDid some web searching supposedly it's a reworked conquest of the planet of the apes.
ReplyDeleteTrey I concur with your wariness.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Eli about chimps being the better choice for soldiers, I just wish it hadn't been on another planet and the whole ending thing was **(*)*()&&^^~!
Thanks JD, that sounds hopeful.
