Greetings, you dirty apes! ROBOGEEK here with a hairy multimedia fix to kick off your week.
Earlier this evening, the official website for Tim Burton's "reimagined" PLANET OF THE APES (alternately approached with anticipation and apprehension by geeks everywhere) went live at - where else? - planetoftheapes.com
The site is a funky-fresh phantasmagoria of Flash-enabled goodness, though a little thin on actual substance at the moment. However, it promises to debut the long-awaited teaser trailer this Wednesday at noon PST / 3pm EST in yummy QuickTime goodness. (Ah, the folks at Fox have taste!)
In the meantime, the site offers four new (at least to me) photos, including the one I've pasted below (which'll be up until Fox legal tells us to take it down) - and a one-minute behind-the-scenes QuickTime interview with Tim Burton. It doesn't really say much of anything, but it does offer some glimpses of honest-to-goodness "making of" footage.
Remember - AYBABTU,
- Robogeek
P.S.: Oh, is it just me, or is "Rule The Planet" just about the suckiest tagline this side of "You will find adventure or adventure will find you"? (Sounds like studio marketing folks could use a dose of Flower Power. Or something.)
