Fantastic Fest Review: "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" - The Unseen Cut
Why "unseen"? Well, it seems the first version of the film, which has not been seen in this country since it was test screened back in 1972, was a little too violent and disturbing to earn a PG rating. But as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the Apes series, 20th Century Fox is releasing a new DVD boxed set containing all five orginal Apes movies in Blu-Ray, including the original version of Conquest complete with the nine minutes of footage that had been trimmed following those test screenings. This is the version that screened at Fantastic Fest.

IS PLANET OF THE APES GETTING REBOOTED AGAIN?
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. . . .

HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO A NEW PLANET OF THE APES?
Fox Movie Channel is showing all five original Apes films on repeat this weekend . . . and Rothman is apparently talking about the movies in between them - at least this is what's being reported. I don't get FMC.
ANYWAY. After the original Planet of the Apes, Rothman had this to say . . . :
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.
