    Fox contemplating another crack at the APES franchise

    After bleeding the original concept of the PLANET OF THE APES saga dry with four very different sequels AND then conjuring up one of the most pathetically pointless remakes of all time with Tim Burton’s reimagining in 2001, 20th Century Fox are contemplating another crack at the APES franchise which turned 40 years old this year.

      LOOKOUT! New APES movie has a director now?

      Production Weekly, a trade magazine we shouldn’t forget, has THE LOOKOUT director Scott Frank attached to GENESIS: APES, 20th Century Fox’s attempts to revive the four decade old franchise.

        I'm not sure I like the thought of recycling old ideas over and over. While it certainly does work for some films I think there is a need to step forward with new, fresh films as opposed to reworking what we have seen before.

          To quote the original movie, "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"

            A few days ago I watch a documentary on the making of all the Planet of the Apes moves and also the TV series. The documentary with interviews was very good, really well put together.

            As far as making it again, I don't think it should be done again. Why go back and screw up a masterpiece.
