Caesar is not a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. This is a fact that Frank can't stress to you enough - his film will not feature talking monkeys, and it will not end with chimpanzees running wild in the streets, taking over the world. But it isn't entirely divorced from the world of Planet of the Apes, either. In fact, Frank sees his movie as the opening chapter in a saga that could span the thousand years between today and a world where apes rule.
The site also reported that Fox's Tom Rothman talked about the film on AMC this weekend, after the first Planet of the Apes was shown on the network.
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.
We'll keep you posted on any and all developments surrounding this new Caesar film.

For once... I'll have to agree with Cell guys. Burton's remake was bad. If it wasn't for the nice special effects and the decent acting I would've hated immensely. I mean... really... what made the original great was the fact that the planet was EARTH in the future. What I got from the sequel was that the Planet of the Apes was an entirely different planet altogether. And what was the reasoning for the crazy ending? Made no sense.... at least not to me. Original was 100 times better.
As for this one... I agree with Comrade... we need to hear further news before we kick it to the curb.

I agree with Comrade. It sounds intriguing, and I'll be awaiting further news.
And Cell, Burton's Planet of the Apes was not bad. Just different, so save it...

This actually seems like it could be original. Let's wait until we hear more plot details to start passing judgment.
