I hope the movie does well for them. Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite films (I even liked the mouth-breather Mark Wahlberg film). Look slike this couple has come up with a great new story and love that no chimps were used. Check out the PR info below…
The new incarnation of “Planet of the Apes” is a direct result of screening partners and producers (and married couple), Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa. The latter, a lifelong fan and expert on all things Planet of the Apes, suggested a reimagining of the story to Fox executive, Peter Kang, five years ago and he loved the idea. “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes” will premiere August 11th in theaters worldwide.
The duo, who share a deep passion for animals, wanted to write a cautionary tale about the abhorrent mistreatment of animals in our society- particularly those being used for medical experiments. They always envisioned that CGI technology would be implemented instead of real life chimpanzees.
Silver is the granddaughter of blacklisted screenwriter, Sidney Buchman, who wrote the classic films “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “Here Comes Mr. Jordan.” She is clearly continuing the family tradition.
