Prequel of The Apes?

Here's an early Christmas present for Planet of the Apes fans... during last weekend's "Channel of the Apes" marathon on Fox Movie Channel Fox Chairman Tom Rothman announced that“We are very close at Fox on a new Apes script.  This one of a kind prequel story set before the first movie marks a return to the social thematics that marked the first one, but with an entirely contemporary setting, Earth 2009.”

Chud reported this as a script caleld Geneis:Apes, set in the present - the story of a genetically engineered ape name Ceasar, who launches the ape revolt.   Sort of a remake of Conquest of Planet of The Apes - which was also a prequel...

This sounds like they're rebooting again after the dissapointing Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes.  Though to be fair, the problems with that film were not by Burton, who came in on a project in progress and had the studio force the ending on him.   Let's hope Fox does a better job this time.

Here's the article on CHUD
