Hey folks, Harry here with the latest rumor from the great folks at Diabolical-Dominion.Com have come in with a rumor about a certain genre badass and certain hairy flick. The results might surprise ya a bit though... and after that, more on those PLANET OF THE APES pics that Moriarty posted....
Hey Harry!
We've got word at The Diabolical Dominion that Kane Hodder (of FRIDAY THE 13th fame) is set to have a role in Tim Burton's new remake "Planet of the Apes"! Hodder is reportedly playing a human, but the role is still unspecified at this time.
Most would assume that Hodder, who is used to being under massive amount of make-up and is one of The United States foremost stuntmen, would be cast as a hunking ape warrior. However, the word now seems official that we'll get to see Kane without a mask this time. When more info comes in on this one, we'll be sure to let ya know about it asap!!!
Best wishes-
Ted

Alright folks, Harry here again.... The AMERICAN MULE pics were pretty scary... One I thought the lighting on those pics was TERRIBLE.... two there were some evidence that made me feel the make-up work might be preliminary... and from a featured extra on set... we seem to have it confirmed a bit here. Though she does tell our guy that the costumes are pretty accurate... and the armor was the part that I had the oddest reaction to. I really wish I was seeing that armor in the context of the world that Burton is creating for them. And that's my hope, that when it all comes together... I'll love it... but for now, I feel the exact same way as when I got those X-MEN photos last year.... It looked scary... looked a bit cheesy... and I was just hoping that it would work in the context of the film.... it did. Let's hope the same is true here....
H.G. Wells here. A friend of mine is a featured extra on Apes (she plays one of the human captives), and has been on set for about 2 weeks now. Here's what she has to say on the photos:
"The costumes are pretty accurate, but the faces are probably first stage of the makeup renderings. I can assure you and anyone concerned that the photos on the website do not do justice to the amazing makeup that has been appearing on the set. I truly feel as if I'm working in some sort of zoo with the amazing authenticity that Rick Baker has brought to the look of the apes. Not to mention the articulation in the masks of the principal characters. (Attar especially)"
There you have it. Straight from the apes' lair. Now if she can just get onto the Spidey set...
H.G. Wells
