PLANET OF THE APES - OFFICIAL TRAILER - 2001

Tim Burton, one of today's most celebrated filmmakers ("Batman", "Beetlejuice", "Sleepy Hollow"), will take moviegoers on his uniquely envisioned journey to the Planet of the Apes. While Burton's Planet of the Apes begins with premise of Pierre Boulle's classic science fiction novel - a pilot crash lands on a strange planet and finds himself in a brutal, primal place where apes are in charge and humans scavenge for subsistence - Burton's unique personal vision and style break new ground in story, design, makeup and visual effects. In addition, this film, unlke the 1968 original that also was based on Boulle's novel, does not take place on Earth; its many surprises lie elsewhere.
