So is this a reboot or a continuation?

It's a sequel to the previous three films, though one that jumps forward in time significantly.

So we ARE getting close to the time period of the original movie... A remake of it in this universe would probably be awesome!

 

[Set Harth]

Only if the time jump is close to 2000 years, which seems unlikely.

Three more movies, and we'll probably get there

They won't though, since whichever director they use will surely be a better fit than Tim Burton.

Also, that movie was a HUGE step forward for Hollywood sci-fi makeup.

The 2001 POTA was to have given rise to a trilogy of its own, amirite? So the ending would have been explained?

It would interesting to remake the original but from the POV of the apes.

 

[Supervisor 194]

Hmm... Maybe from the apes point of view as they encounter Landon and/or Dodge?

I assumed this series was over and done with after the last one.

Well, since this is going to the start of a new storyline, that series kind of is over.

I think we've already had enough "humans suck" stories. Avatar, for example.

Well, humans do really fucking suck big time, so I'm all for more. Maybe if it enough people get shown their suckage, they'll finally take a good look at their behavior and make some changes.

I guess it's kind of Planet of the Apes: The Next Generation. Same universe, new series.

I never saw War. I take it we lost.

 

[Samurai8472]

The movie began production Disney Studios Australia (formerly Fox Studios Australia) on Monday and the production spend there will be $128M AUD ($81.5M USD) and 400 local jobs.

To an avalanche.

We already lost in Rise, more or less.

When are they going to send the monkeys to space. I want to see the far future where the monkeys have evolved so much they have developed advanced tech.

In the book, way back in 1963, the Apes had tech similar to Earth in the 1960s including jet planes. In the book, the planet of the Apes was not Earth.

There's a six issue miniseries from BOOM! Studios called "Ursus" that retells the events of POTA and 'Beneath' from the perspective of General Ursus and Landon and Dodge make an appearance. You can read it on the Hoopla app.

I wonder if that was what Tim Burton had in mind when we saw the modern ape world at the end of the movie. Something he might have explored in a sequel.

I have spent 20 years thinking one thing, and now I may have changed my mind.

I thought Thade followed Marky Mark back in time, overshot, replaced Lincoln, and this was his memorial after he killed all humans.

Which is still possible. But Thade would have to go into the Jungle and have sex with a million lady gorillas, if he wanted to raise an army that would put down humanity, if we stipulate that only genetically manipulated apes and their offspring can talk.

But now I'm wondering if when Marky Mark tried to go back in time, he screwed the pooch, and went another thousand years into the future, where the Apes had caught up almost.
