    I'm actually looking forward to this. Conquest has long been my favorite of the Apes series.

    It's bad enough to do a re-make... but even worse than re-makes are when they start re-re-making films. Damn, how sad has Hollywood gotten when they can't even do a re-make so they consign themselves to doing re-re-makes?

    Oh yeah, and taking European films and re-doing them American style (which means subtracting all the entertaining story for unrealistic looking teenagers that all look like models from a GAP commercial, silly sex scenes, and over-the-top CGI gore that is just terrible).

    Words just can't describe it...

    This isn't really a re-remake. It's based off of the fourth film in the series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Totally different film.

    A single ape has the intelligence and leads an army to take over mankind. It's like a better version of Land of the Dead.

    This sounds pretty cool actually, this is one of those franchises that shouldn't die, a new flick doesn't make the old ones worse and this is based of conquest so i think it might be cool to see.

    In all honesty, during the theatrical run of the original APE series, we 70's kids would also have a primetime TV show .... and ... a Saturday Morning cartoon, both spinning the premise in different directions.

    i've been a huge planet of the apes fan since i was a little kid. even though the tim burton version sucks all manner of goat balls, it didn't dim my desire to see more.

    even though i'm very partial to the first flick, conquest is an awesome flick. bring on this film.

    "Rise of the Apes" - Coming June 24, 2011.

    The prequel is set in San Francisco and will be a a cautionary tale in which "man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy".
    It was finally decided that a prequel would be made. It was also decided that instead of having the usual costumed apes there would be CGI apes instead. Hmmm...


    I think all hope has just jumped out the window....
