"Planet of the Apes" re-imagined
Planet of the Apes Prequel in the Works?
Source: CHUD November 29, 2008 Last month, CHUD reported that 20th Century Fox had a script in the works titled Genesis: Apes, which is essentially a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The site said that the project is the story of Caesar, the first ape with speech who started the events that led to a world where monkeys were on top. Now, they're reporting that Fox's Tom Rothman talks about the possible prequel in between showings of the "Planet of the Apes" movies on Fox Movie Channel this weekend. "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," Rotham reportedly says.

I didn't like the newer planet of the apes. Doubt I'll feel better about this one.

Yeh I wasn't a fan of the remake but perhaps I should revisit it and give it another go. I love the original films and the short lived TV series but the remake just didn't do much for me storywise in comparison.

If I remember, in the new one that didn't even include the twist that made the first one so great.

As I recall - and I saw it in theatres, and fell asleep - the remake sort of had a twist on the twist.

this is one of the very few prequels i think i'd be interested in seeing.
most are immediately redundant becasue you already know how everything works out ... but the tale of how the first ape became intelligent would make an interesting and seperate story that could easily stand on its own.

I can barely remember the first one. I know I enjoyed it though. Does anyone know if they've been released on DVD?
