Another selection of behind-the-scenes images from the classic 1968 original.

Welcome to the Archives Of The Apes. This blog celebrates everything about the mighty PLANET OF THE APES saga, from Pierre Boulle's original 1963 novel La Planète des Singes, via the classic films of the Sixties and Seventies, the short-lived 1974 TV serial and its animated follow-up and Tim Burton's ill-conceived and much-despised 2001 "re-imagining", right up to date with the latest entries Rise, Dawn and War. Here you'll view a lot of seldom-seen images, many of them courtesy of my friends Angela May Rushmere, Vince Blosse and Felino Velasquez. Also included are Apes fan art, comic art, international movie posters and book covers and a number of images from our own classic film of the seventies, Cornelius And Zira. Sincere gratitude goes out to Hunter Goatley, Ste Edwards, Brian Brady, Andrea Hughes, John Roche, Tim Parati and Mark Talbot-Butler for publishing a lot of the rarer material. Please note: all original images were found on the internet and are assumed to be in the public domain. Any copyright infringement is accidental and unintended and should not be inferred. Finally, I am a mere primitive Human and as such I may make the odd error. Please forgive any gaffes, or better still, enlighten me! Cheers!
