That script is very well focused. <br /><br />Serling wrote the first few drafts of the film. In Serling’s version, as in the book, The Apes lived in a modern world with modern technology like cars and planes.<br /><br />I forget now why that was changed, I think for budget reasons.

I watched while working. <br /><br />Two parts i was curious about where trying to figure out how much of the screenplay was by SERLING and how much by the other guy? <br /><br />And the other part that interested me was studio-head ZANUCK saying that they had no intention of making a film with any message to it. Clearly he was pulled into the project for that James Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283687555480506116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14646103.post-44863380337893930542011-08-19T20:35:37.326-07:002011-08-19T20:35:37.326-07:00Hey Anson,

Twist endings don't just pop up out of nowhere. As soon as you pointed it out, it made sense.

I really do wish I liked more films made nowadays but, in my opinion, there is a lack of basic story-craft in most things made today. Story principles that were once common knowledge are no longer known. It makes me kinda' sad.Brian McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725832940943503641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14646103.post-71710286815482794572011-08-04T10:12:55.359-07:002011-08-04T10:12:55.359-07:00Great post, thank you.

It probably wont say anything too shocking about human beings. Wouldn't want to upset the audience.
