I just watched the newer version on HBO. Does anyone know if they are making a second one? It ended like it would be continued, but its been 2 years since it was released...

There was a talk of a sequel, but that was last year. I don't know if there is still intrest.

TJL · 01-06-2003, 08:27 PM

Doubtful.
It wasn't the hit they expected it to be, plus alot of folks thought a remake of this sci fi classic was not the best idea.

So I don't see a sequel in the future.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes was the best Planet sequel.

I want to see the old version. I keep looking for it on tv, but it never comes on. Guess I'll have to go rent the movie.

I don't get that station.

I was hoping it would come on TCM or AMC or some channel like that.

I actually liked it. Maybe because I never saw the orginal version. The director said it wasn't a remake, it was his own perception of the book. Thats probably why fans of the org version hated it.

I've seen the original version several times and have seen the new version. It is definitely different from eachother. However, I don't hate the new movie, I just think the original is better.

I thought the remake was pretty good..I actually found it quite funny at times. I haven't seen the original.

The Best POTA sequel was "Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes."
In a future society (the 80's I think) apes are now the domsetic slaves of the human race. One intelligent chimp (Roddy McDowell) leads a revolt that could change the world as we know it!

Oooooh, scary!

I don't get that station either. I get FX and the plain Fox station. Say, by any chance do you think they'll ever come on a sports channel or a food channel? I got those channels coming out of my ears.
