"Planet der Affen" (1968), der auf dem Roman des französischen Schriftstellers Pierre Boulle basiert, erfuhr seine Erstaufführung zum Höhepunkt von rassenpolitischen Unruhen in Amerika und erzeugte starke Publikumsresonanz durch seine Geschichte des NASA-Astronauten George Taylor, gespielt von Charlton Heston, der auf einem Planeten landet, auf dem eine herrschende Rasse von Affen die menschlichen Sklaven unterdrückt. Das Schlussbild des Films, in dem der zu Tode erschrockene Heston das Schicksal der Menschheit erkennt, ist und bleibt eines der bemerkenswertesten in der Geschichte des SF-Kinos...
Die Saga vom Planet der Affen umfasste am Ende die Kinofilme "Rückkehr zum Planet der Affen" (1970),
"Flucht vom Planet der Affen " (1971),
"Eroberung vom Planet der Affen" (1972) und
"Die Schlacht um den Planet der Affen" (1973)... Sowie eine kurzlebige Fernsehserie...

Nach einer Bruchlandung in einer fremdartigen Welt muss der Astronaut Leo Davidson, gespielt von Mark Wahlberg (u.a. "Der Sturm"), feststellen, dass diese von einer aufrecht gehenden, intelligenten Affenspezies regiert wird, die die hier lebenden Menschen brutal unterdrückt und wie Sklaven behandelt. Doch es gibt einige wenige Primaten, die dem Gedanken der Freiheit für die Menschen mit Wohlwollen gegenüberstehen. Davidsons Anwesenheit führt bald zu revolutionären sozialen Umwälzungen, auf die die Führer der Affen mit äußerster Gewalt reagieren. Bis die Vergangenheit Menschen und Primaten einholt...

John Lithgow and Freida Pinto are coming on board "Rise of the Apes," Fox's prequel to its "Planet of the Apes" franchise starring James Franco.
Rupert Wyatt will direct the feature, which focuses on a scientist (Franco) who has been working on a cure for Alzheimer's that is being tested on apes. The test subject named Caesar evolves rapidly, and the scientist takes him home to live with him and protects him from cruel doctors.
Lithgow will play Franco's Alzheimer's-stricken father. Pinto is the movie's female lead, a primatologist.
The movie shoots this summer in British Columbia. [...]

Actor James Franco, best known for playing Harry Osborn and his Goblin alter-ego in the "Spider-Man" movies, has become the first human cast in Rupert (The Escapist) Wyatt's Rise of the Apes, which is scheduled to start filming on July 5 for its planned June 24, 2011 release date.
Franco won't be donning any make-up or fur as he will in fact be playing a human, essentially a scientist who is pivotal in the war between the humans and the apes. We can probably expect a lot more casting announced in the next few weeks leading to the start of filming. [...]

Twentieth Century Fox has set a June 24, 2011 release for Rise of the Apes, a completely new take on one of the studio's most beloved and successful franchises. Oscar®-winning visual effects house Weta Digital – employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for Avatar – will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.
Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark will produce for Chernin Entertainment under its new pact with Fox. Acclaimed filmmaker Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) is directing from a screenplay by Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, who also are producing.
Rise of the Apes (tentative title) is an origin story in the truest sense of the term. Set in present day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science fiction/science fact blend, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

STYD sprach mit dem Creature Designer Aaron Sims...
[...] on the horizon is 20th Century Fox's next Planet of the Apes film, a prequel, and Universal's The Invisible Man. "I'm working with [writer-director] David Goyer on that. Universal is really on board with it. They have the property so they're thinking they might as well make something new and fresh with it and Goyer brings a lot to it. He's doing it as a period piece. So what we've been working on is what haven't we seen with this stuff. The Hollow Man was different and a completely different take on being invisible - with the effect of disappearing from the skin downward, so how do you do something beyond that? That's a challenge. We're doing a visual effects test now and seeing where it goes from there." [...]

CHUD sprach mit dem Drehbuchautor und Regisseur Scott Frank über den möglichen Neustart des Franchises...
[...] Fox is still excited about this property, and now they've put the film into the hands of writer/director Scott Frank. The film is now called Caesar. [..]
Caesar is not a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. This is a fact that Frank can't stress to you enough - his film will not feature talking monkeys, and it will not end with chimpanzees running wild in the streets, taking over the world. But it isn't entirely divorced from the world of Planet of the Apes, either. In fact, Frank sees his movie as the opening chapter in a saga that could span the thousand years between today and a world where apes rule.
What's most exciting about Caesar is that Frank is committed to telling a hard science fiction story. The science that creates a hyper-intelligent chimpanzee is based on current real world research - this film would just take that science one step further. He's also committed to telling a story based on character, not antic ape action. His plan for Caesar is one where you come to really feel for this ape, even as the final act sees him taking actions that may be hard for us to agree with.
But getting Caesar to be a real character on the page is just one of the challenges still facing Frank. He is right now just in the beginning phases of rewriting the script, and even if he is able to nail the story, he still has to figure out if he can bring Caesar to life on screen. Since he doesn't want to have people running around in monkey suits, Frank is doing lots of research into the state of effects today - can he create a photoreal chimpanzee (one who is facially modified by the genetic engineering that grants him his intelligence) who will be the main character for this film? Can he create a character who is completely expressive through his face, eyes, and gestures (including sign language) without speaking a word of dialogue?
Fox seems convinced Frank can make it work. [...]
Frank was audibly excited about the movie as he told me about it, but he was also very cautious to say that he wouldn't know if the film would be going ahead until at least February. It does sound like Fox is eager to get this franchise restarted, so I hope that Frank feels comfortable with his script and the FX, since I'd rather see a guy who can write (and direct, judging by the criminally underseen The Lookout) on this film than a guy whose commercial background convinces the suits he can shoot action that will look cool in a trailer. [...]

CHUD zitiert Tom Rothman von Fox...
[...] We are very close at Fox on a new Apes script- this one a kind of prequel story before the first story, with a return to the social thematics that mark the first one, but with an entirely contemporary setting - Earth 2009. [...]

Tim Burton killed Planet of the Apes. His film, while technically profitable, left moviegoers with such a bad taste in their mouths that Fox never bothered revisiting it in a sequel. The franchise, which had seemed poised for rebirth, lay dead for years.
But right now, in the halls of Fox, there is another new version of Planet of the Apes that has been kicking around for the last year. It's not a sequel to the Burton film, and it's not another remake of the original. To the general audience it's a prequel to Planet of the Apes, but for the initiated it's something totally different.
It's a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
Yup. It's the story of Caesar, the ape who said no, the first ape with speech who started the events that led to a world where monkeys were on top and humans were dumb beasts.
Things are different in this script, written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, which is called Genesis: Apes. Fans will know that Caesar in Conquest is the result of a massive temporal paradox - his parents escaped to 1973 from a far future Earth. Further, Conquest takes place in a dystopian 'future' - 1991 - while Genesis: Apes is set in the modern day.
In this version Caesar is the result of a genetic scientist fooling around with the nature of things. When the baby monkey exhibits intelligence and the ability to talk, he takes the cuddly thing home to his wife, who is unable to bear children. Things go surprisingly well for a number of years until Caesar grows up and sees mommy getting attacked. The dutiful son steps in and accidentally kills the attacker.
Here's where it takes off. In a scene paralleling Charlton Heston in the cage in the original Planet of the Apes, Caesar ends up in custody at an Ape Conservatory where he and the other apes are abused mercilessly. Caesar finds himself a primate without a world - he's as smart as humans but will never be one of them (and is in fact tortured by them) and he's initially rejected by his monkey brethren.
You're on Caesar's side, understanding where this poor outcast is coming from. But then the script gets really ballsy and, just like in Conquest, Caesar begins a campaign to unite the apes and overthrow human society. And his plan isn't a Martin Luther King Jr series of marches, speeches and sit ins - Caesar and his apes take to the streets violently.
Again, it's like Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which brilliantly modeled its ape riot scenes on the Watts Riots that had happened just a few years before. But Conquest was set in a future where America was ruled by a fascist society. Genesis: Apes is set today, in this world. The regime that Caesar overthew in Conquest was made up of bad guys. The Caesar of Genesis: Apes is coming after you.
Maybe this is why the script has been languishing all this time. You just can't have your hero working to tear down our modern society. It's too radical! Plus, Fox remains notoriously unfriendly to good genre ideas. [...]

SF Wire sprach mit Produzent Richard Zanuck...
Planet of the Apes producer Richard Zanuck told SCI FI Wire that a sequel to the 2001 film will be delayed. Zanuck said that Fox told him that it does not want to exhaust the franchise with too many sequels right away. "The idea is to space it out now," Zanuck said in an interview. "The studio doesn't think that a sequel has to be made immediately. They made a lot of money off the picture, but the theory, at least what they're telling me, is that every three years or more [they will make one]." [...]
Zanuck said the next film could pick up right where the last one left off, with Leo Davidson's (Mark Wahlberg) further adventures on an ape world. "They have a deal with Mark Wahlberg in place, but I don't know what their ultimate plan is," Zanuck said.

IMDb berichtet über das "PotA"-Sequel, dass wohl erst 2003 in die Kinos kommen wird...
Movie bosses are waiting until 2003 to release the next Planet of the Apes flick - to ensure audiences are desperate to see it by the time it arrives. The summer blockbuster, which starred Hollywood heart-throb Mark Wahlberg and British beauty Helena Bonham Carter, will definitely have a sequel, but bosses want the public to hunger for Ape action before it's released. Producer Richard Zanuck says, "We don't want to rush the film into theaters next year - we'd rather buy extra wanna-see time for the sequel. Right now, we're tossing around ideas for the story. We want to take our time and get it right." Wahlberg made a deal with Zanuck to make two Planet of the Apes films, before signing up for the first picture.
