If the music at the beginning if Elfman's, its going to rule. And so will the movie, I think Burton has done great with the project.

Say what you will about Tim Burton as a director (I happen to think he's one of the finest ones in Hollywood, and, if and when I finally declare my major as film making, he's one of the directors that will have a huge influence on my films.), nobody can argue his creative and imaginative talent. The scenery and art design are always incredible in his films.

As for the Planet of the Apes trailer, all I can say is...wow. Even if I wasn't a huge Tim Burton fan, I still think the movie looks incredible. I'll definitely be seeing this one. Also, I can't wait to hear Elfman's score.

Tim Burton is not a movie director, more like a bizarre painter or a freak show entertainer.

He did only two good movies: ED WOOD (not by coincidence scored by Howard Shore) and NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS - two movies where he finally left his hysterical freak show aside and worried about storytelling...

Damm! I never get used to this rule!!

Sure, it's just that if the film is what I expect it to be, the teaser suggests something different. Less action and a simple voice-over instead might have been better.

Nonetheless, I highly doubt this POTA is going to be anything like the first one. It may be somewhat satirical, but I have a feeling it will mostly odd and actiony with lots of eye-candy- and I for one can't wait!

Marian: I'm no Hollywood insider, but I think the purpose of a teaser is to get people interested in the film and want to know more about it. Its purpose is to create a buzz. Most teasers for summer blockbusters I've seen cram as much as they possibly can show you in the span of 30 seconds. I really think you should wait for the actual trailer before you make judgements about what you think the film is going to be like. I hope you're right , though. I really hope the film is more than just action...

If this was true they would never use words like "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BATMAN AND SLEEPY HOLLOW", that's for sure...

(i think they have it over at www.moive-list.com)

Looks just another Tim Burton freak show.

More like "Pee Wee Herrman meets the Apes".

Ups... I forgot the movie music weirdos' message board rule n# 2303:

- You can only say nice things about HamZimmir, Donuts Elfmen and Tlim-Tlim Burton. Disrespect this rule and we will get personal on you!!

Damm! I'll never get used to this rule!!

And I hate to repeat myself...

I didn't spend any of any, but I sure as hell would not even contemplate making such childish, nay infantile, dismissive remarks that some of you are coming out with. Who the <expletive deleted> do you think you are?

I loved the original Apes movies and TV series and what I saw of the teaser trailer, I'm pretty damned excited about this new movie. I'll be going with an OPEN mind and I sure as hell won't be wearing any blinkers.

Greg,...you go boy! I couldn't have said it better!

...and welcome to the board (stick around, we need you).

NP: Re-reading, and re-reading Greg G. Phillips post...what a delight.

How many hours did you spend in an editing suite?

Oh my God! I never did a movie in my life!!

Does it means I have to like BATTLEFIELD:EARTH and STARSHIP TROOPERS??

Let us know, ok mr. Wise Guy!

And Andre...please be nice to the newcomer. I think he does have a valid point...so many of us are overly critical of movies without being qualified to do so. I can find some level of enjoyment is most movies I see, but I do not feel I am qualified or justified to tear apart a film, its director, composer, etc. You know, Schindler's List was an exceptional movie that bored me to tears (as did the score). I'll say I didn't enjoy it, and leave it at that.

So this means I am qualified to say nasty things about awful movies.

I think we overhype and expect way too much from movies these days. You can't judge a movie by a trailer because they can go just the opposite of what you were expecting.

Well, heck, let's all bow to the master of cinema.

He must mean post-production house. However, since he failed to make this clear -- Pete, I recommend that you ban him! BAN him!

For making things clear and pointing out mistakes BAN HIM Peter!!!!! BAN HIM!!!!!

lol, indeed, Scott!

Your qualifications are extremely impressive, Andre.

Yet, I can't help but wonder why I'm not impressed....
