Here's the first trailer for "Argo", about Hollywood being enlisted to create
a fake movie and rescue hostages in Iran circa 1979. John Goodman plays John
Chambers (yes, THAT John Chambers). Directed by Ben Affleck ("Gone Baby, Gone",
"The Town").

X-Men

The spoilsport in me wants to say nobody (if that silliness happened, I'd love
to see any Apes fan who despised the Burton film seriously look me in the eye
and say that some "Avengers" Apes film idea is a good thing). However, I'll take
the bait and play nicely. ;)

Umm... how about a Quantum Leap episode? Dr Sam Beckett finishes an episode and
the teaser for the next instalment is him as an ape slave driver or some other
ape in some ethical predicament. Oh, boy!

Hi, my dear Ape Friends!

I have POTA comics collections for sale!

1. POTA Marvel (1974-1977)

2. POTA 1990´s comics (All!)

Do you have interest? Let me to know.

Saulo Adami

From Brazil

The crossover script is staring us in the face already.Jackie Earle Haley's
Kraik from 'The Legacy', for reasons we can't explain, gets zapped back to 1972
where,as Willie Loomis,Jackie plays a seventy type to Johnny Depp in Tim
Burton's 'Dark Shadows'.Loomis then gets turned into a vampire and then, again
for reasons we can't explain, wakes up in a coffin in 3080-ish and, having
gotten a taste for domestic work, becomes a servant in the home of Galen's
parents (as confirmed by Rich Handley's indispensible LEXICON of the POTA).Then,
whilst Loomis is on the roof watching for Urko, a knock comes on the door and
when Yalu answers it, Tim Burton leaps in,shouting 'Circular timeline
anybody?!'.
My god--this script just writes itself!!!! John, Scrolls.

weekend ever ($200 million) and around $640 million worldwide in 10 days. You
can be sure Hollywood will dissect it's success to take the temperature of the
moviegoing public. With Fox figuring out where to go with their POTA franchise,
could they maybe lay the groundwork for a huge team up movie down the road?
Maybe we'll finally get that "Ape Nation" movie we've wanted for so long. Or
perhaps POTA can join forces with Fox's other big franchises? "Alien vs.
Predator" was thinking small. Audiences want to see "Alien", "Predator", "Die
Hard", "X-Men" and POTA team up against a common foe. Or this! The different
versions of POTA could team up. Cornelius and Zira from POTA68 (recast of
course), Attar and Limbo from POTA2001 and Caesar and Koba from "Rise" all get
together to stop, I don't know, we'll figure that out later. We must change with
the times.

Elfman's score in Burton's Apes is,frankly, wonderful---let down a bit by the
actual movie.I recall at the time reading that the studio wanted something
sounding 'more heroic' at one stage, whatever that meant.The triple cd release
recently is a strangely uninvolving listen--it's a bit 'bitty' and takes some
effort to sit through (I haven't managed it fully yet).I also love his
Spider-Man.But then I just love Spider-Man.John, Scrolls.

and have been for a long time. What's relevant here is he did the score for
Burton's POTA2001. Say what you will about the film, but I loved Danny's music
and still do. And while I'm at it, I'm also a Tim Burton fan. So in that sense
maybe I was more disappointed in POTA2001 than the average POTA fan. Or maybe
not. I consider it a disappointment but there is much I can enjoy (the look,
Danny's music, etc.). Anyway, I don't know if folks can separate the movie from
Danny's music but I think Danny did music that could be a highlight of POTAdom.
>   Anyway, I have several Elfman CDs; Oingo Boingo, 2 compilation CDs of "Music
For Darkened Theater", "Big Fish", POTA2001, "Nightmare Before Christmas"
(besides doing the music, Danny was the singing voice of Jack Skelington). After
the evening I enjoyed revisiting those.
>   So, there wasn't anything POTA in this Q & A except someone asked him about
the La La Land Records reissues (including the recent POTA2001 3-CD set) and he
said he has nothing to do with those and is just as surprised as we are what
they put out (one might assume the composer has a role in those). Other things
that stick out are that he considers "Mars Attacks" his easiest score and "Big
Fish" (what I consider the best Burton film in the last 18 years or so) his
hardest. He also talks about writing "The Simpsons" theme in his car and so much
more. Elfman fans and film score fans might enjoy this. I don't know how long it
will stay up but good times. There was many more people than they planned for
and they gave out "Dark Shadows" posters that everyone wanted signed so Danny
had to get the hell out of there, but he did try to sign what he could. He
signed my Eric Greene book and I can say he's a good guy who appreciates his
fans. Also, the guy asking the questions is Jeff Bond, who has done his share of
liner notes for great POTA CDs. From what I understand, he's doing a book about
Elfman.

I recently wrote to SFX Magazine, tearing them a new one for their lack of
respect for the Apes franchise--amongst other gripes,I pointed out that their
reviews for RISE were consistently lower in star rating than other mags such as
Sci Fi Now, Empire, Total Film etc, which is pathetic for an alleged sci fi
mag.I,personally,think that unless a movie has a good premiere party (RISE had
no UK premiere) then the jounos give it a star or two less.Anyway, set me to
thinking---if the original POTA came out today, what kind of reviews would it
get--would it be a 'three star overblown nonsense but visually striking', a 'two
star Heston over-acts' hatchet job, or a 'five star--groundbreaking and thought
provoking cinmema' review? Or would it depend on the premiere party? John,
Scrolls.
