Charlton Heston appears in an uncredited cameo office as Thade's father. The 6th moving-picture show in the Planet of the Apes franchise, it was loosely adapted from Pierre Boulle's 1963 novel of the same proper noun and the 1968 film version. It tells the story of astronaut Leo Davidson crash-landing on a planet inhabited by intelligent apes. The apes treat humans as slaves, but with the help of an ape named Ari, Leo starts a rebellion.

Development for a Planet of the Apes remake started as far dorsum as 1988 with Adam Rifkin. His project well-nigh reached the pre-production stage earlier being canceled. Terry Hayes's script, titled Render of the Apes, would have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, under the management of Phillip Noyce. Oliver Stone, Don Potato, and Jane Hamsher were set to produce. Artistic differences ensued between Hayes and financier/benefactor 20th Century Fox. Chris Columbus, Sam Hamm, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and the Hughes brothers later became involved.

With William Broyles Jr.'due south script, Burton was hired as director, and the picture show was put into active development. Lawrence Konner and Marking Rosenthal rewrote the script, and filming took place from November 2000 to April 2001. It received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the confusing plot and ending, but praised Rick Baker's prosthetic makeup designs, visual aspects and musical score. Despite its financial success, 20th Century Fox chose non to produce a sequel, and later rebooted the franchise in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Plot

In 2029, aboard the United States Air Force space station Oberon, Leo Davidson works closely with apes who are trained for space missions. His favorite ape co-worker is a chimpanzee named Pericles. With a mortiferous electromagnetic tempest approaching the station, a small infinite pod piloted by Pericles is used to probe the tempest. Pericles's pod heads into the tempest and disappears. Leo takes a 2d pod and finds Pericles. Entering the storm, Leo loses contact with the Oberon and, in 5021 A.D., crashes on a planet called Ashlar. He learns that the world is ruled by humanoid apes who speak English language, utilize domesticated horses for transportation, and treat human beings as slaves.

Leo meets a female chimpanzee named Ari, who protests the mistreatment humans receive. Ari decides to purchase Leo and a female slave named Daena to have them work as servants in the firm of her father, Senator Sandar. Leo escapes his muzzle and frees other humans. Limbo, an orangutan trader in captured humans, sees them merely is taken prisoner to ensure his silence. The murderous General Thade and his junior, Colonel Attar, march ape warriors to pursue the humans. Leo discovers Calima, the forbidden, just holy temple of "Semos", the beginning ape whom the apes revere equally a god.

Calima turns out to exist the remains of the Oberon which had crashed on the planet's surface and now looks ancient (the proper name Calima coming from the sign "CAution LIve aniMAls", the relevant messages existence the only ones not covered in dust). According to the computer logs, the station has been there for thousands of years. Leo deduces that when he entered the vortex, he was pushed frontward in fourth dimension, while the Oberon, searching after him, was not, crashing on the planet long before he did.

The Oberon's log reveals that the apes on lath, led by Semos, organized a wildcat and took over the vessel after it crashed. The human and ape survivors of the struggle left the ship and their descendants are the people Leo has encountered since landing. The apes go far and assail the humans who take gathered to come across Leo, although he is able to even the odds when he uses the Oberon 'south terminal fragments of fuel to fire a terminal boom at the commencement wave of apes. The battle stops when a familiar vehicle descends from the heaven, which Leo immediately identifies as the pod piloted past Pericles, the chimpanzee astronaut who was pushed forward in fourth dimension equally Leo was and had only now found his style to the planet, the electromagnetic storm really releasing people from information technology in an reverse direction in fourth dimension to their archway. When Pericles lands and the pod opens, the apes bow, interpreting his arrival as the return of Semos, and hostilities between humans and apes suddenly end.

Pericles runs into the wreck of the Oberon and Leo runs afterwards him, followed past General Thade. Thade and Leo fight. Pericles tries to help Leo, but Thade throws him hard against a wall. Thade takes Leo's gun from him and tries to fire information technology at Leo. Leo sees that Thade is within the airplane pilot'due south deck and closes the automatic door, trapping Thade inside. Thade fires the gun repeatedly at the door simply the ricochets create sparks that scare Thade, who huddles under a control console. Deciding to escape Ashlar and return to Earth, Leo gives Pericles to Ari, who promises to expect afterward him. After saying cheerio to Ari and Daena, Leo climbs aboard Pericles'southward undamaged pod and travels back in time through the same electromagnetic storm, and crashes in Washington, D.C. on Earth. He looks up at what appears to exist the Lincoln Memorial, only to find that it is now a monument memorializing General Thade. A swarm of constabulary officers, firefighters, and news reporters descend upon him, revealed to all exist apes.

Evolution

Late 1980s

20th Century Fox president Craig Baumgarten was impressed with Adam Rifkin'southward filmmaking with Never on Tuesday. In 1988, Rifkin was brought in the studio to pitch ideas for films. Rifkin, beingness a fan of the 1968 Planet of the Apes felt information technology was best to go on the film series. "Having contained film experience, I promised I could write and direct a huge-looking movie for a reasonable cost and budget, like Aliens."[12] Fox commissioned Rifkin to write what amounted to a sequel, "but not a sequel to the fifth flick, an alternate sequel to the offset flick".[12] He took influences from Spartacus, with the storyline being "the ape empire had reached its Roman era. A descendant of Charlton Heston's character named Duke would eventually lead a human slave defection confronting the oppressive Roman-esque apes, led by General Izan. A real sword and sandal spectacular, monkey manner. Gladiator did the same movie without the ape costumes."[12]

Titled Return to the Planet of the Apes, the project was put on fast rail and nearly entered pre-product. Rick Baker was hired to design the prosthetic makeup with Danny Elfman composing the film score. Tom Prowl and Charlie Sheen were in contention for the lead part. "I can't accurately describe in words the utter euphoria I felt knowing that I, Adam Rifkin, was going to be resurrecting the Planet of the Apes. It all seemed too good to be true. I before long establish out it was."[12] Days before the film was to commence pre-production, new studio executives arrived at Fox, which caused creative differences betwixt Rifkin and the studio.[12] Rifkin was commissioned to rewrite the script through various drafts. The project was abandoned until Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh pitched their own idea, with the apes going through a Renaissance. In the story, the ape government becomes concerned over the new fine art works, the humans are revolting and the liberal apes shelter a one-half-man, half-ape from the gorillas. Roddy McDowall was enthusiastic about their proposal and agreed to play the Leonardo da Vinci-type character they had written for him. However, the executive Jackson spoke to was not a fan of the series and seemingly unaware of McDowall's interest in the series, and Jackson turned his attending back to Heavenly Creatures.[xiii]

Oliver Stone

By 1993, Fob hired Don Potato and Jane Hamsher every bit producers. Sam Raimi and Oliver Stone were being considered as possible directors,[12] [fourteen] though Stone signed on equally executive producer/co-writer with a $i one thousand thousand salary.[15] On the storyline, Rock explained in December 1993, "Information technology has the discovery of cryogenically frozen Vedic Apes who concord the undercover numeric codes to the Bible that foretold the finish of civilizations. It deals with past versus the future. My concept is that there's a code inscribed in the Bible that predicts all historical events. The apes were there at the beginning and figured it all out."[16]

Rock brought Terry Hayes to write the screenplay entitled Return of the Apes.[fifteen] Set in the near futurity, a plague is making humans extinct. Geneticist Volition Robinson discovers the plague is a genetic time bomb embedded in the Rock Historic period. He time travels with a pregnant colleague named Billie Rae Diamond to a time when Palaeolithic humans were at war for the future of the planet with highly evolved apes. The apes' supreme commander is a gorilla named Drak. Robinson and Billie Rae notice a immature human daughter named Aiv (pronounced Eve) to be the adjacent pace in evolution. Information technology is revealed that it was the apes that created the virus to destroy the human race. They protect her from the virus, thus ensuring the survival of the human race 102,000 years afterwards. Billie Rae gives nascency to a baby boy named Adam.[15]

Pull a fast one on president Peter Chernin called Return of the Apes "one of the all-time scripts I ever read".[15] Chernin was hoping Hayes' script would create a franchise that included sequels, spin-off tv shows and merchandise.[17] In March 1994, Arnold Schwarzenegger signed on every bit Will Robinson with the condition he had approving of director. Chuck Russell was considered as a possible manager earlier Phillip Noyce was hired in January 1995, while pre-production was nearing kickoff with a $100 meg budget.[14] Stone first approached Rick Baker, who worked on Rifkin's failed remake, to design the prosthetic makeup, only eventually hired Stan Winston.[17] [18]

Play tricks became frustrated by the altitude between their approach and Hayes' interpretation of Rock'south ideas. As producer Don Murphy put it, "Terry wrote a Terminator and Fox wanted The Flintstones".[15] Play a trick on studio executive Dylan Sellers felt the script could exist improved by one-act. "What if Robinson finds himself in Ape state and the Apes are trying to play baseball? Just they're missing one element, similar the pitcher or something." Sellers continued. "Robinson knows what they're missing and he shows them, and they all start playing."[15] Sellers refused to give up his baseball scene, and when Hayes turned in the adjacent script, sans baseball, Sellers fired him. Dissatisfied with Sellers' determination to burn Hayes, Noyce left Return of the Apes in February 1995 to work on The Saint.[fourteen] [15]

Columbus and Cameron

Stone pursued other films of his ain, Chernin was replaced by Thomas Rothman, and a drunken Sellers crashed his automobile, killing a much-loved colleague and earning jail fourth dimension, while producers Spud and Hamsher were paid off. "After they got rid of the states, they brought on Chris Columbus", Irish potato stated. "Then I heard they did tests of apes skiing, which didn't brand much sense."[nineteen] Stan Winston was all the same working on the makeup designs. Columbus brought Sam Hamm, his co-writer on an unproduced Fantastic Four script, to write the screenplay. "Nosotros tried to do a story that was simultaneously a homage to the elements we liked from the v films, and would also contain a lot of textile [from Pierre Boulle's novel] that had been jettisoned from the before production," Hamm continued. "The beginning half of the script diameter picayune resemblance to the book, just a lot of the stuff in the second half comes directly from information technology, or directly inspired by it."[19]

Hamm's script had an ape astronaut from another planet crash-landing in New York Harbor, launching a virus that will make human beings extinct. Dr. Susan Landis, who works for the Centers for Disease Command and Prevention, and Alexander Troy, an Surface area 51 scientist, use the ape'southward spacecraft to render to the virus' planet of origin, hoping to find an antidote. They find an urban environment where apes armed with heavy weapons chase humans. The main villain was Lord Zaius; in contrast to Dr. Zaius, Lord Zaius was very savage to the humans. Landis and Troy observe the antidote and return to Earth, only to find in their 74-year absenteeism that apes have taken over the planet. "The Statue of Liberty's once proud porcelain features accept been crudely chiseled into the grotesque likeness of a neat grinning ape".[xix]

Schwarzenegger remained fastened, but Fox had mixed emotions with Hamm'south script.[19] When Columbus dropped out in late 1995 to work on Jingle All the Way, Fox offered the managing director'south position to Roland Emmerich in Jan 1996.[14] James Cameron was in talks during the filming of Titanic every bit author and producer. Cameron's version would have fatigued elements from the original film and its sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Later on the financial and critical success of Titanic, Cameron dropped out.[19] After learning about his previous interest, Chernin and Rothman met with Peter Jackson to learn almost his original Renaissance thought. Jackson turned down directing the movie with Schwarzenegger and Cameron equally his producer, recognizing they would probably conflict over the management.[thirteen] Schwarzenegger left to work on Eraser.[14] Michael Bay then turned downwards the director'south position.[19] Jackson again turned down the project while facing the possible counterfoil of The Lord of the Rings in 1998, considering he was unenthusiastic following Roddy McDowall'south death.[13] In mid-1999, the Hughes brothers were interested in directing but were committed to From Hell.[19]

Pre-production

In 1999, William Broyles Jr. turned down the chance to write the script, merely decided to sign on "when I plant out I could have an all-encompassing amount of creative control". Fox projected the release date for July 2001, while Broyles sent the studio an outline and a chronicle of the fictional planet "Aschlar". Entitled The Visitor and billed as "episode one in the Chronicles of Aschlar",[19] Broyles' script caught the attention of managing director Tim Burton, who was hired in February 2000.[20] "I wasn't interested in doing a remake or a sequel of the original Planet of the Apes pic," Burton said later. "But I was intrigued by the thought of revisiting that world. Like a lot of people, I was afflicted by the original picture. I wanted to practise a 're-imagining'."[21] Richard D. Zanuck signed on as producer in March.[22] "This is a very emotional film for me. I greenlighted the original Apes when I was the head of Play a joke on in 1967."[23]

Nether Burton's direction, Broyles wrote another draft, but his script was projected at a $200 one thousand thousand budget. Play a joke on wanted to cut it to $100 meg.[21] [24] In August 2000, two months earlier principal photography, Fox brought Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal for rewrites.[25] Broyles "had a lot of respect with the work they [Konner and Rosenthal] did. And to think that given what I'd washed and given what Tim wanted, they navigated the right course."[21] One of the considered endings had Leo Davidson crash-landing at Yankee Stadium, witnessing apes playing baseball. Various alternatives were considered before the filmmakers decided on the concluding one.[26] The production of Planet of the Apes was a difficult experience for Burton. This was largely contributed by Fox'south adamant release engagement (July 2001), which meant that everything from pre-product to editing and visual effects work was rushed.[21]

Konner and Rosenthal were rewriting the script fifty-fifty as sets were being constructed.[26] Ari, Helena Bonham Carter's character, was originally a princess. She was changed to "a Senator's girl with a liberal mentality".[27] I of the drafts had General Thade, Tim Roth'south character, as an albino gorilla, but Burton felt chimpanzees were more frightening.[28] Limbo, Paul Giamatti'southward graphic symbol "was supposed to plough into a good guy. In that location was supposed to exist this touching personal growth thing at the end," Giamatti reflected. "But Tim [Burton] and I both thought that was kind of lame and then we decided to but leave him as a wiggle into the end."[11]

Filming

Burton wanted to brainstorm filming in October 2000,[29] but information technology was pushed back to Nov 6, 2000 and ended in April 2001.[24] [30] Filming for Planet of the Apes began at Lake Powell, where parts of the original movie were shot. Due to a local drought, production crews had to pump in extra water.[28] The flick was by and large shot at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, while other filming locations included lava plains in Hawaii and Trona Pinnacles at Ridgecrest. To preserve secrecy, the shooting script did not include the catastrophe.[25] [31] Stan Winston was the original makeup designer but left because of creative differences. Fox considered using reckoner-generated imagery to create the apes, just Burton insisted on using prosthetic makeup designed by Rick Bakery.[24] Baker was previously involved with Adam Rifkin's unproduced remake. Burton commented, "I have a human relationship with both of them [Winston and Baker], and so that decision was difficult," he says. "Stan worked on Edward Scissorhands and Bakery did Martin Landau'due south makeup [as Béla Lugosi in Ed Wood]".[32]

On his hiring, Baker explained, "I did the Dino De Laurentiis version of Rex Kong in 1976 and was always disappointed considering I wasn't able to exercise it as realistically as I wanted. I idea Apes would exist a good way to brand upwardly for that." In addition to King Kong, Baker previously worked with designing ape makeup on Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, Gorillas in the Mist, and the 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young.[33] The makeup took 4.v hours to apply and ane.5 hours to remove. Burton explained, "it's like going to the dentist at two in the morning time and having people poke at you for hours. And then you wear an ape costume until nine at dark."[24] [26] Burton was adamant that the apes should be substantially "more brute-like; flying through trees, climb walls, swing out of windows, and go ape shit when aroused."[26] For a month and a half before shooting started, the actors who portrayed apes attended "ape school". Industrial Light & Magic, Rhythm and Hues Studios and Animal Logic were commissioned for the visual effects sequences. Rick Heinrichs served equally the production designer and Colleen Atwood did costume design.[34]

To compose the motion-picture show score, Burton hired regular collaborator Danny Elfman, who had previously been set as composer when Adam Rifkin was attached to practise his own remake of the original back in 1989 before diverse filmmakers, including but eventually Burton himself, were attempted to exercise and then later on.[12] Elfman noted that his work on Planet of the Apes contained more percussion instruments than usual.[35]

During filming, Roth held a grudge confronting Heston due to his piece of work with the National Rifle Association: "It was very difficult for me. On one level, there's the man and he's my dad. Only on the other level, the whole NRA affair is what it is at present. I'm so against it, very vocally so. But it was inappropriate for the workplace. If I'm going to talk to him, I'll talk to him outside the workplace. And so information technology was just two guys in makeup doing a scene."[36] Roth later claimed he would not have appeared in the movie had he known he would be sharing a scene with Heston.[37]

Reception

Box office

Hasbro released a toy line, while Dark Equus caballus Comics published a comic book adaptation.[thirty] The original release date for the film was July 4, 2001.[38] Planet of the Apes was released on July 27, 2001 in 3,500 theaters across the United States and Canada, grossing $68,532,960 in its opening weekend.[ii] This was the second-highest opening weekend of 2001, after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[39] The film also dethroned Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace for having the best opening for any 20th Century Fox film.[40] At that betoken, it had the second-highest opening weekend of any moving-picture show, behind The Lost World: Jurassic Park.[41] It was the 2nd film of the year to cantankerous the $sixty meg mark during its first three days, following The Mummy Returns. This record would be later joined by Monsters, Inc. and Rush 60 minutes 2.[42] Meanwhile, Planet of the Apes would brainstorm to expand to Asian countries. While the pic was unable to have the pinnacle chart spot from Hayao Miyazaki'southward Spirited Away, its opening was still a stiff start to the company's international curlicue-out in one of the most significant international territories.[43] Plus, it had a tape opening in Brazil.[44] It took in $1.5 1000000 from 366 screens, beating the previous record held past Independence Twenty-four hours.

Project APE

To assist promote the release of Planet of the Apes, 20th Century Fox collaborated with Geocaching[47] and released an internet marketing campaign nicknamed "Projection APE", that involved people going out into the real world. Geocaching was barely a year old at the fourth dimension, and was only beginning to get more than well known. The promotion's backstory, which actually had no connection to the movie, was that a group of renegade humans were placing artefacts (geocaches) effectually the globe in an effort to reveal an Alternate Primate Evolution. Over the grade of several weeks in 2001, a cache containing props and memorabilia from the movie (prop blindfolds, prop knives, posters, trading cards and more) was released every week. Nonetheless, the cache's location was not given, but clues were given throughout the calendar week that narrowed downwardly the location until the enshroud'south coordinates were released on a Friday. Information technology was then a race to get to the cache, with the commencement person arriving at the location getting a pick of the goodies in the enshroud. The caches were big ammo boxes, with "Project APE" spray painted on the front end. Xiv caches were placed in a series of missions numbered 1–12 (i was "Special Moving-picture show" for the moving-picture show premier in New York and in that location was a Mission 10a & 10b, with 10b being some other cache with the London premiere tickets). Evidence points to a potential Mission xiii, simply no enshroud page has been found for it. Near of the caches did not final beyond a couple of finds, equally most of them were muggled (stolen). Only ii caches are agile today, with one located outside of Seattle, WA, and the other in Brazil.

Critical response

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes Planet of the Apes has an approval rating of 44% based on 158 reviews, with an average rating of 5.51/10. The site's disquisitional consensus reads, "This remake of Planet of the Apes tin can't compare to the original in some critics' minds, just the striking visuals and B-flick charms may win you over."[48] On Metacritic the picture has an average score of 50 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[49] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the picture show an boilerplate grade of "B–" on an A+ to F scale.[50]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Dominicus-Times gave the film 2½ stars. He praised the twist ending, but felt the film lacked a balanced story construction.

The movie is great-looking. Rick Baker's makeup is convincing even in the farthermost closeups, and his apes sparkle with personality and presence. The sets and locations give united states a proper sense of alien awe. Tim Burton made a film that'southward respectful to the original, and respectable in itself, but that's non enough. 10 years from now, it will be the 1968 version that people are withal renting.[51]

Peter Travers of Rolling Rock gave a negative review. "Telephone call it a letdown, worsened by the forces of shoddy screenwriting. To quote Heston in both films, 'Damn them, damn them all'."[52] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times believed "the actors in the nonhuman roles are generally also buried by makeup to make strong impressions. Unfortunately, none of the adept work counts as much as yous'd retrieve information technology would," Turan said. "Planet of the Apes shows that taking textile too seriously can be as much of a handicap every bit not taking information technology seriously at all."[53] Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times gave a more favorable review, feeling the script was balanced and the film served its purpose as "pure entertainment".[54] Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today enjoyed Planet of the Apes, feeling most of the credit should become to prosthetic makeup designer Rick Baker.[55]

Much criticism was leveled against the ambiguous ending. Tim Roth, who portrayed General Thade, said "I cannot explain that catastrophe. I have seen it twice and I don't empathize anything."[21] Helena Bonham Carter, who played Ari, said, "I thought information technology made sense, kind of. I don't sympathise why everyone went, 'Huh?' It'southward all a time warp thing. He's gone back and he realizes Thade's vanquish him there."[21] Although the catastrophe was cryptic, it was closer to the ending of the bodily Pierre Boulle book than was the catastrophe of the 1968 Charlton Heston moving picture version. In the first of two twist endings of the Pierre Boulle book, the astronaut escapes back to planet Earth, merely to be greeted by a gorilla in a jeep on the landing strip. Burton claimed the ending was not supposed to make any sense, but it was more of a bewilderment to be explained in a possible sequel. "It was a reasonable cliffhanger that could be used in case Fox or some other filmmaker wanted to do another picture," he explained.[28]

The motion picture was nominated for ii BAFTA Awards, one for Best Make-upwards held by Rick Baker, the other for Best Costume Design. Roth (Supporting Actor), Bonham Carter (Supporting Actress), Colleen Atwood (Costume), and Rick Baker (Brand-up) received nominations at the Saturn Awards.[56] Atwood and Bakery were nominated at the 55th British University Film Awards,[57] while music composer Danny Elfman was nominated for his work at the 43rd Grammy Awards.[58] Planet of the Apes won Worst Remake at the 22nd Gold Raspberry Awards, while Heston (Worst Supporting Histrion) and Estella Warren (Worst Supporting Actress) also won awards.[59] At the 2001 Stinkers Bad Picture show Awards, the film received nominations for Worst Director (Burton), Worst Supporting Extra (Warren), and Worst Screenplay for a Film Grossing Over $100M Worldwide Using Hollywood Math, just it failed to win any of those.[60]

Future

Cancelled sequel

Play a joke on stated that if Planet of the Apes was a financial success, then a sequel would be commissioned.[32] Ultimately, they decided against pursuing another picture show.[ commendation needed ] When asked whether he would be interested in working on a follow-up, manager Tim Burton replied, "I'd rather leap out a window."[21] Mark Wahlberg and Helena Bonham Carter would accept returned if Burton had decided to make another Apes pic.[5] [61] Paul Giamatti had been interested in reprising his role. "I think it'd be bully to have apes driving cars, smoking cigars," Giamatti said. "Wearing glasses, sitting in a lath room, stuff like that."[11] Planet of the Apes was the last motion picture Burton worked on with his quondam fiancée Lisa Marie. After their relationship bankrupt upwards, Burton started a relationship with Bonham Carter, who portrayed Ari. Planet of the Apes was also Burton'due south beginning collaboration with producer Richard D. Zanuck.[26] [62]

Fox returned to the franchise in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a reboot of the series that led to its own sequels.[63] [64] [65]

Video game

In 1998, afterwards 20th Century Pull a fast one on had greenlit James Cameron'south version of the moving picture remake, the company'south video game sectionalization, Fox Interactive, started planning a video game necktie-in. The film projection went on hold when Cameron pulled out, simply Fox Interactive remained confident a remake would progress eventually and continued with the game.[66] Play a joke on contracted French company Visiware equally programmer; with the film on concur, the creators adult their own story inspired by Boulle's novel and the original films.
