Well played Sir.
The first trailer looked interesting, but I just saw one on TV that made it look shite. There was one quick shot of an ape teaching an old guy how to hold a bread knife properly and later bursting out from bushes to ‘save’ the old guy from an argument. That trailer was probably posted already in this thread but embedded YouTube videos won’t show up on my iPad for some reason.
But taking the movie in that direction is a big mistake. Compassion before they decide to murder us all, pfft
The shot where the ape is watching a couple sleeping in bed is really creepy though, added a nice chill to the trailer

It’ll make sense.
[spoilers]
The old guy is James Franco’s character’s dad (played by John Lithgow), who has Alzheimer’s. The ape going ape in the bushes is Caesar. I’ve heard that Caesar is taken to live with Franco as a baby to be reared as a test subject for the cure he is driven to develop to help his father.
Caesar was chosen because his mother was exceptionally intelligent (they called her “bright eyes”), which marks him for leadership.
Franco’s neighbor is a complete douche who hates (and is terrified by) Caesar, so the part where Caesar protects the sick old man makes sense and actually humanizes him.

That’s pretty awesome.
Wol, I’m forever grateful that you introduced me to spill.com … whenever I want to get a good review of a movie that’s where I go to … they haven’t let me down yet

It’s weird how much Doug Henning looks like James Franco there!

Maybe the supergas used to awaken the uberintelligence of the ape has an opposite effect on mankind and we regress to caveman status? Those 100 apes become lab technicians and manufacture/distribute the gas across the planet!
or something…
Well I guess these monkeys learn to set off nukes…because part of the old movies was a nuclear war that destroyed civilization.
This movie is starting to look like Terminator but with monkeys.

Yea that occurred to me as well. It’s the exact same theme really: mankind’s achievements advance beyond mankind’s capability to control the results. Dune, Terminator, I,Robot…

The experimental cure is virus-based, and reportedly ties into a disaster that allows them to take over. Presumably the virus has adverse effects on humans which would explain why they are devolved in the original POTA [/spoilers]

No sweat. I’m used to having my posts passed over. [spoilers] The fact that the gas is virus-based needed to be repeated in the wake of the debate over how the apes could overthrow mankind. The director said that he plans to model the war on real-life conflicts like Iraq, hence my quiptastic “gorilla warfare” comment above.[/spoilers]
I’m honestly not looking forward to this movie. Im just not. I hope it’s good though.
movie looks like a pile of monkey shit
I have found that you either love of hate both monkeys and/or Planet of the APes movies. There seems to be little middle ground.
Some of the reviews for the movie are encouraging. That plus i’m a fan of Franco.
