To me, Burton's remake wasnt "Planet of the Apes", but more like Marky Mark and the Monkeys. It just didn't work for me. Im personally excited about this new "prequel"! Conquest was my favourite of the original Apes films, and Caeser has always been my favourite character. My thing is, who can they get to play him, that would bring that ape-edginess to his character. Roddy McDowell left some pretty big shoes to fill. While, it may not be the same Caeser, it would be nice to see that brought back. He was a very unique ape, racked with internal turmoil and sorrow, but at the same time he kept his composure and was a modest king.

Actually, this film was first announced on ProductionWeekly.com, a few months before the news ran on CHUD. In any case, I'm not keen on the idea of another remake, and I have a feeling the project will never get off the ground.

I could go for a sequel to the Tim Burton film, however I’m on my 8th beer.

Did Tim Burton direct the last one?

Sounds terrific. But, I’m not watching anything FOX, unless it has Edward Norton in it, thankyouverymuch, until Watchmen has a guarantee go-ahead for release.

I was against this idea when I first heard about it, but after reading their ideas for the reboot, it might work.

Caesar leading a revolt against human society through no fault of our own is an interesting take.

I like this idea much more than another stab at the original which has lost the edge on its ending due to its fame.

I had high hopes for Tim Burtons version but we saw the results of that as well as most of his current fare. The next director had best be up to the task or it will finally put the last nail in the coffin of the franchise.

The fourth movie was sort of a bastard child of the rest of the films. You could tell they had slashed the budget of each film in the progression. What saved the fourth Apes film was the focus on the recurrance of Mans return to slavery and racism, but now with a new sub class.

I haven’t seen the other Ape films. Of course I’ve seen the first, and I know of the others, but I’ve sat on the fence whenever I saw them on the shelf.

Tapping back into the franchise but not going the way of the reboot is a good move with a movie like this, one that’s been around for so long and is as unforgettable as it is.
