‘Planet of the Apes’ Prequel Coming?
A prequel to Planet of the Apes in the works? Looks like a possibility, check it out:
Last month, CHUD reported that 20th Century Fox had a script in the works titled Genesis: Apes, which is essentially a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The site said that the project is the story of Caesar, the first ape with speech who started the events that led to a world where monkeys were on top.
Now, they’re reporting that Fox’s Tom Rothman talks about the possible prequel in between showings of the “Planet of the Apes” movies on Fox Movie Channel this weekend.
“We are very close at Fox on a new Apes script- this one a kind of prequel story before the first story, with a return to the social thematics that mark the first one, but with an entirely contemporary setting - Earth 2009,” Rotham reportedly says.
No way to say if this is even worth it. Get Tim Burton on it and maybe I’ll be a little more interested.

Chud didn’t break news of the new film–ProductionWeekly.com did, two months earlier, when they noted its existence in August 2008. Chud followed up on that two months later.
