1905 Film Network News After Disney acquired the 20th Century Fox Film Company, how the classic films and IPs under the Fox brand will be adapted and reproduced has become a top priority. Recently, some media reported that Disney and Fox decided to shoot a new version of "Planet of the Apes." At the same time,
decided on the film director. It is understood that Wes Ball, who has directed "Maze Moving", will become the director of the film. After "Moving Labyrinth", the newcomer born in the 1980s who grew from a small film to a director of a sci-fi blockbuster, ushered in his Hollywood super masterpiece debut. In fact, after the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series ended, the new version of "Planet of the Apes" has naturally become Fox's next plan, and Disney has not played a key leading role in this project. The biggest problem now is that the new version of "Planet of the Apes" will start from scratch and shoot a new story, or will it continue to tell the story according to the story line of "Rise of the Apes". In other words, whether Disney and Fox will remake the 1968 version of "Planet of the Apes" or will completely adapt it.
The 1968 version of "Planet of the Apes"
The 1968 version of "Planet of the Apes" adopted the hypothesis of an inverted evolutionary chain, which satirized human society, especially the clan discrimination in American society. Director Franklin Sfanner warned people from the perspective of omniscience, how you treat others today, how others will treat you tomorrow. A lot of things are causal loops, iterative. The film covers many aspects of social life, ranging from citizenship and racial issues to evolution, religion, war, and so on. The B-level film has also become a kind of "serious film" because of the appearance of this film. The most jaw-dropping thing about the film is the shocking ending. When the protagonist proves to the orangutans that humans are civilized on earth, they ride away. But not long after, he found the remains of the Statue of Liberty on the beach. At this point, he suddenly realized that this planet ruled by orangutans was once the earth. The theme of the film's "reincarnation" is also expressed vividly.
At present, there is no final conclusion regarding the choice of actors for the film. Whether Andy Serkis will return to the crew, whether the role of Caesar can be retained, there is no news.
