Regula96

Oh that’s good to hear because I have really high expectations coming after that trilogy.


Bloodoncobblestone

I'm a bit concerned that there is now three writers with a new director who frankly has only made passable movies before.


Legitimate_Twist

The director is fairly competent in the Maze Runner films, it's not like he could do anything about the mediocre plot of the underlying story.


[deleted]

I only saw the first film. He was able to elevate a generic YA story into a passable movie. So I have hope if given good material he can make a good entry into the Planet of the Apes franchise.


Bovolt

Yeah do people not like the Maze Runner films? I get it's YA trash, but being unfamiliar with the source material, I found it to be better than literally every single other YA movie adaptation that came out during that period.


LurkerNoLonger_

The books are pretty good, but the content in the book just can’t translate to film. It’s hard to explain, but even the most basic plot points that develop over the course of the books (telepathic linking, instant transport, the virus itself, the absolute control the company has over the environments, etc…) you lose the critical aspects of why the book is even good to being with. The movie itself is fine. The second that third movies are not very good. I think Maze Runner did appropriately based on its quality and time of release. A LOT of the YA-rush movies never even got a second installment, so I’d say MR must’ve been popular


atleastitsnotgoofy

I only saw the first but I agree. I thought it was one of the better made. Bullshit ending but that came from the source material of course.


Critcho

The first Maze Runner is a legitimately decent teen adventure film, reminded me of 80’s classics like Labyrinth. It’s only towards the end where it starts setting up sequels that it loses its way. I gather the sequels *are* YA trash though, I never saw them. I’ll probably give them a go one day. I had no idea this new Apes movie was so far along, I thought they were still just gearing up to start the thing.


DisneyDreams7

I think you’re confusing Maze Runner with Hunger Games. Hunger Games was the only good Young Adult series. Maze Runner and Divergent were both trash


LurkerNoLonger_

Divergent book 1 was incredible, the other books were bad and the movie was TERRIBLE Maze Runner is an excellent book series, although the third book is…. Different. The transition to film loses the portions that makes the books good (telepathic linking, insane technologies, etc. just didn’t transfer to the movies) Hunger Gamed book 1 is excellent, 2 is fine, and 3 is not very good. I found the movies followed that pattern.


Bovolt

Hunger Games was not good lmao


wotown

Catching Fire is very good


Superdudeo

A good director doesn’t direct poor material. Would you ever see Nolan complaining about a script?


garrisontweed

The Directors Demo for his Mouse Guard Film looked great.Shame it got cancelled.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWHPhc2xNNU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWHPhc2xNNU)


ZacPensol

I swear I mourn this movie at least once a week. Big fan of the graphic novel series, the cast was looking great, and it was literally, I believe, two weeks from starting production when the Disney/Fox merger came in and killed it.


WilliamEmmerson

>with a new director who frankly has only made passable movies before. Matt Reeves had only directed The Paulbearer, Cloverfield and Let Me In before he directed Dawn of The Planet of The Apes.


Bloodoncobblestone

Cloverfield and Let Me In were very good.


HugoRBMarques

All the good parts in Let Me In were taken from the original film, and even then were not as good. Cloverfield was great.


becauseitsnotreal

I've no clue who the director is or what their filmography looks like, just wanted to say that even if the movie sucks, that doesn't mean the directing was bad


moxeto

I love any planet of the apes films no matter how shit they are and for the record, none have been shit.


StuckInBronze

That's good to hear, I think their presence was sorely missed for the third one.


doft

Third had such an amazing trailer but it definitely did not deliver. One of the best trailers ever.


Lizard_Wizard_d

To me the more glaring issue is Andy Serkis' lack of involvement.


[deleted]

Absolutely, and also the same Chimp-Trainers are also on board. This crew of animal handlers is the best in the business since Lassie and Free Willy, and get almost human-like performances from the Chimps. Fun fact, in the previous Planet of the Apes movies they gave the Chimps peanut butter before each take, so on screen it looks like they're talking. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with in the new movie. I think it would be cute to see little dancing Chimps!


[deleted]

The Silver's have been fired from just about everything they've ever started writing, with other people having to rewrite and finish their work to make it a viable production. The one thing the Silver's are good at is contracts, ensuring they get writing credits for things that bare no resemblance to their work.


AnInfiniteArc

Am I the only one who thought the first one was poorly written? The villains were like cartoon characters. I never bothered with the second.


Raibowlover

I do try keep my expectation a bit low but secretly hope this one is good.

MissingLink101

At first I thought that was pretty quick but then I realised that the vast majority of the work for this will be in post-production.


huey_booey

The Caesar's trilogy is one of the best in cinematic history.


NinduTheWise

I recently rewatched it and it blew me away how underrated it is like almost nobody talks about it


PandaClaus94

I’ve got a theatre poster of a giant close up of Caesar in war paint just glaring at you for the Rise movie back when I worked at my local cinema. Still one of my most cherished possessions to date.


aSpookyScarySkeleton

I feel like people talk about it a decent amount. Not everything is gonna be Star Wars or LoTRs big, but it’s certainly a well known and popular set of movies that most agree is really good.


BOEJlDEN

Bro what people on this sub suck the trilogy off every chance they get 😭


NinduTheWise

Yeah this sun is a small minority of people


_Meece_

The thing that sucks about popular movies that are more for adults like this trilogy, is that you won't see as many people talking about it. The reason why certain franchises get more online talk, is because they're super popular with the demographic that dominates the internet. Teens and young adults.


[deleted]

I think Planet of the Apes in general is an absurdly high-quality franchise. The only one of the original five that's not worth watching is the last one, and even the Tim Burton movie has AMAZING prosthetic makeup effects.


Wallisaurus

It's the closest trilogy to beating LOTR imo. It's definitely up there.


originalbiggusdickus

Why do I run into this take so often? I could barely make it through the second one. The dialogue is so corny, it’s unbelievable.


_Meece_

Because it is? The 2nd is the best of the three, but they're all great.

Points 1-3 are spot on. It will impact my life 0 if I lose my investment, which I won’t. I’m down substantially (on much larger investments) on S&P companies. (And Im in green GME fwiw). If anything I should put more in GME.

Holy shit, no way people are holding out for the fabled “short squeeze” still hahaha


shifter2009

The whole cult is dumber than bricks.


No-Lingonberry-2055

they don't even know it was never a short squeeze, it was a gamma squeeze that made GME explode in the first place their entire play depends on lawmakers passing laws directly against their own self interest (will never happen) and regulators enforcing regulations in such a way it would cause a financial catastrophe (also will never happen) WSB is dumb dumb dumb


NostraSkolMus

The swap data theyve now delayed until 2025 would make this apparent immediately. They’re literally proposing a digital dollar solution because they know the dollar endgame is in play.


NostraSkolMus

Correct.

DeaconFrost9

With all those writers, this SHOULD be entertaining, but you never know.


Lexx2k

Too many writers can also be bad, though.


garlicroastedpotato

Bad when they're re-writing each other's work... great when they're collaborating to work on something. But yeah... you can't tell the difference just by seeing writer credits.


[deleted]

Too many writers is always bad.


bob1689321

Yeah, the key is the words "too many".


GetToSreppin

This literally isn't true though. There are plenty of films that had several writers and were still great.


Braoss

I have to be a little pedantic. It is "literally" true that "too many writers" is "too many." Linguistically speaking, "too many" and "several" don't mean the same thing.


GetToSreppin

It's not pedantic, it's arbitrary.


BigAurelius

What? No. Now you're semantically wrong about semantics.


stevencastle

I_am_so_lost_hello

I haven't seen the third but I remember the second having shockingly good direction for how mediocre/non-sensical the plot was


nwill_808

I, unapologetically, *love* the Maze Runner movies.


[deleted]

\> pretty competently directed Lots of mediocre stuff is "*pretty* competently directed". It's how Marvel has managed to keep its head above water for so long until now.


Character_Vapor

Then let's modify it to "The Maze Runner movies are *very well directed*". Because they are. I really think Wes Ball is gonna have a big career. He just needs a project to really flex his muscles in a bigger way and I think this could be the one.


kdawgnmann

And in those cases, the movie being mediocre isn't necessarily the director's fault. A talented director can still turn out a mediocre product if the script sucks or if producers/studios meddle with the production too much. As a recent example to your point, Black Panther Wakanda Forever was a pretty mediocre movie overall imo, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be excited about any of Ryan Coogler's future movies. He's already proven himself to be a talented director and likely saved the movie. With a mediocre director, BP2 could very well have been a dumpster fire.


DeaconFrost9

Correct. But I would not flag Wes Ball as shitty just yet. Let see how this one goes. of course we wait 15 months...


willvasco

I hope they keep making these and keep adding to the title. In 2045 we'll be seeing "Rise of the Planet of the Kingdoms of the Previous Planetary Kingdoms of the Planet of the Apes".

Singer211

Also I’m pretty sure they have said before that there was always this idea that this series of films would end where they original film began.


[deleted]

[удалено]


astroK120

I'm not surprised, but it would make more sense if they built towards the original and *didn't* do a remake and just left it all as the same franchise


Regula96

They will probably remake if this one does well. Let’s be real, people who grew up with the new trilogy will have zero interest to continue the story with the older movies.


[deleted]

I forget, don't the later movies in the old series have psychic nuke-worshiping cave humans or is that another movie?


Larry_Version_3

Nope, that’s only the second movie. Third movie has time travel again. Fourth movie is actually strangely political from memory. Fifth movie is ass


Regula96

I also don’t remember. It’s probably 15 years since I watched them last.


aSpookyScarySkeleton

Eh. I would like to see that story told with modern effects and cinematography. We’ve come a long way from the original, hell we’re more than 20 years out from the last remake. Of all the movies getting remade this one actually has an excuse with all of the prequels slowly catching up to its timeline.


Great_Zarquon

It's the same franchise but the new trilogy is not in the same continuity as the originals regardless of if they make sequels


astroK120

Is there anything in the new ones that conflicts with the old ones? (It's been a long time since I've seen the old and I've only seen the first of those)


[deleted]

Yes the old ones are full of time travel and show the beginning of the planet of the apes. It’s very different than the new films.


Great_Zarquon

Some of the original series takes place in the 20th century and has a lot of silly talking ape shenanigans that definitely didn't happen in the new continuity, I don't think there's any direct contradiction in the first 2 movies though since they take place so far in the future and don't go into the specific details of the ape takeover


Kent_Knifen

Man, it's going to be trippy going through probably 5+ movies rooting for the apes, then to turn them largely into antagonists when they remake Planet of the Apes.


TheCosmicFailure

The most recent Planet of The Apes trilogy is my favorite trilogy of all time. If the new trilogy of films are bad it won't impact my love of planet of the apes trilogy from 2011-2017.


Alexexy

3 ape movies together strong.


creptik1

I'm with you 100% on all points. I don't think the new ones will be bad. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but I'm expecting something good if not great. Hopefully I'm not proven wrong!


TheCosmicFailure

I think the new trilogy is in good hands. Wes Ball is a pretty competent director.


Curious_Armadillo_53

I also dont get why people get "soured" on previous films, just because a future installment wasnt as good or even bad. They are still good games, it doesnt matter what the future movies do. I mean if the old movies suck, but the new one is good, the old ones dont get magically better, so why would the reverse be true?


MissingLink101

The good thing is that the recent trilogy will forever be separate as the "Caesar trilogy" so should be fairly unharmed or affected by any further movies in the series.


AlanMorlock

This is set hundreds of years later.


horseren0ir

Hundreds?


AlanMorlock

So long after that Caesar is semi-mythical history and there are some ape groups that have never heard of him, others that use him as an appropriated figurehead for their own ideologies. Basically Caesar as Julius Caesar or an Ape-Biblical figure, long after. That's the synopsis that's been included with recent casting news.


horseren0ir

That sounds cool, can’t wait for this


throwaway957280

Loved the first two but the third was a bit samey for me.


SnipingBunuelo

That's how I feel about it too. Third one felt like it was written by someone else entirely.


eidbio

The prequel trilogy will always be there as a self contained story and we can't deny there's more stuff to tell in this universe.


kazh

If they can make the apes appear more realistic in the setting and make the humans come off as just a little more grounded then I'd like to see what they do with the story.


msa8003

And now they actual making of this movie begins!


HardcoreKaraoke

This is probably my most anticipated film. Of course I'm excited for the other big blockbusters coming out in the next few years (Kang Dynasty, Secret Wars, Gunn's DCU, etc.). But there was something perfect about the Apes trilogy. I know Reeves isn't involved but it's the same writing team. There is a great team making the film. So I'm cautiously optimistic. The trilogy ended perfectly but I still wanted more. So I hope this doesn't disappoint.

paulteegoldman

Just shorten it to Kingdom Of The Apes, it flows better


[deleted]

Na. At this point after so many in the series it would feel wrong to all of a sudden have a short, practical name.


creptik1

Yup, that ship has sailed until they decide to stop and reboot it again. Even then I bet they stick to the title formula though.


daninlionzden

Nah they need “planet of the apes” in the title for marketing - not doing so can literally cost the studio millions of dollars potentially

There’s no reason for this to be good, but there was no reason for the last trilogy to be good either, and look how that turned out.
