`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)?
Trivia:
SPOILER:The first word spoken by an ape is "no". This was a pivotal line in !~apes_escape~!~Escape from the Planet of the Apes~!, !~apes_conquest~!~Conquest of the Planet of the Apes~! and !~apes_battle~!~Battle for the Planet of the Apes~!.:SPOILER The surname of `~1891~`'s character "Aranha" is the Portuguese word for spider. `~11287~` was considered for the role of Will. SPOILER:References to the original !~apes_1968~!~Planet of the Apes~! abound.<br>* The name of `~1893~`'s character Dodge Landon is a reference to the characters Dodge (`~1819~`) and Landon (`~1818~`), Colonel Taylor's (`~1527~`) fellow astronauts.<br>* The orangutan character befriended by Caeser in prison is named Maurice after actor `~1814~, who played the orangutan Doctor Zaius.<br>* The name given to Caesar's mother is "Bright Eyes" due to the coloration in her eyes caused by the ALZ-112 virus. "Bright Eyes" is the name given to Taylor (`~1527~`) by Dr. Zira (`~1813~`).<br>* A news headline reports that the "Icarus" is the first craft headed to Mars. This is one of the fan-proposed names of Taylor's (`~1527~`) craft, and refers to the Greek myth which cautions against overreaching ambition.<br>* Dodge Landon speaks two of `~1527~`'s most famous lines from the original: "It's a madhouse! A madhouse!" and "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"<br>* Clips from `~1527~` in @%The Agony and the Ecstasy%@ and !~10_command~!~The Ten Commandments~! are shown.<br>* In one scene, Caesar is shown handling a 3D puzzle of the Statue of Liberty, in reference to the the original ending.<br>* The gorilla Buck is named after `~1821~` who played Julius the gorilla.<br>* One of the female apes is "Cornelia", named for Dr. Cornelius of the original.<br>* The lab worker who cares for the chimps is named Franklin, a nod to director `~1810~`.<br>* `~1896~` plays Rodney, the sympathetic keeper in the ape sanctuary, named for original ape actor `~1031~`.<br>* Late in the film we are told that the spacecraft and astronauts have disappeared. We can assume that they gone into a time warp and will end up on the future !~apes_1968~!~Planet of the Apes~!.:SPOILER In the original ending (which was actually filmed), Will (`~1890~`) dies. One month before the movie was slated to be released, however, minds were changed, so Franco and `~59~` flew in over the 4th of July weekend to shoot the ending that stayed in the film. `~Kathryn Bigelow~`, `~1184~`, `~Tomas Alfredson~`, `~Allen Hughes~` and `~Albert Hughes~`, `~13499~`, `~James McTeigue~`, `~Dennis Iliadis~` and `~Scott Charles Stewart~` all were considered by the studio, or passed on the project before director `~1886~` signed on. This movie is the first installment to feature another ape species besides chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans; Koba, the scarred lab ape, is a bonobo. This is the second film in which `~59~` plays an ape, having previously portrayed 2005's version of !~kong_2005~!~King Kong~!. He was also the motion capture actor for Gollum in !~th_lotr_rotk~!~Lord of the Rings~!, where he bites off Frodo's finger. His ape character Caesar bites the neighbor's finger in this role, too. Caesar uses a bundle of sticks to explain to Maurice how an ape alone is weak but apes together are strong. The bundle of sticks, or fasces, was a symbol of authority in ancient Rome, the origin of Caesar's name. Caesar's charisma is also reminiscent of `~Benito Mussolini~`, who adopted the fasces as the symbol of his Italian Fascist party. The fasces or bundle of sticks concept is also used in several symbols in the architecture of the American White House and Captiol and is the subject of the Aesop fable "The Bundle of Sticks" about a father demonstrating to his sons how they should work together. SPOILER:When the primates climb the tree to escape the dome they form a double helix, the shape of DNA.:SPOILER This is the first @##Planet of the Apes##@ film in which neither `~1527~` nor `~1031~`, the stars of the original !~apes_1968~!~Planet of the Apes~!, are involved in the actual film making. Heston died on April 5, 2008 at the age of 84 whereas McDowall died on October 3, 1998 at the age of 70. It is, however, `~1527~`'s 5th 'appearence' in the @##Planet of the Apes##@ franchise. 1) He starred in the !~apes_1968~!~original~!; 2) co-starred in !~apes_beneath~!~Beneath the Planet of the Apes~!; 3) was seen in archive footage (kissing Zira in a sepia yellow flashback) in !~apes_escape~!~Escape from the Planet of the Apes~!; 4) had a cameo as Zaius in `~1662~`'s !~apes_2001~!~Planet of the Apes~! remake; and 5) can be seen on the TV set in the Ape bunkhouse in the role of Michelangelo from @%The Agony and the Ecstasy%@ in this movie.
