Behind The Scenes Photos From Planet of the Apes(1967)

These photographs were taken on the set of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes. It’s really bizarre to see these simians just relaxing in full ape makeup between shooting scenes. These 1967 behind the scenes pictures were shot in California and show the apes smoking, eating, drinking, relaxing in the shade and doing other very human things.

It’s kind of amazing that they could do anything in those masks when not filming. They don’t even seem to mind all that much. Of course this film had a score of big name actors who were all professionals.

By Your Command: NBC Battlestar Galactica Sizzle Reel

January 2nd was National Science Fiction day. NBC actually did something cool to celebrate. They created this recut trailer for the original Battlestar Galactica. It is awesome. It makes me want to dust this series off and watch the whole thing again.

If they released this trailer today for a new show on NBC, do you have any idea how much money they would make? Let’s get back to making some amazing Sci-Fi on TV guys. This trailer made my day. The original BSG had everything. Robots, space battles, overacting, Robot dogs and more. I miss you original Battlestar Galactica.

This Is What A Remastered Battlestar Galactica Might Look Like

We’ve seen remastered versions of Star Trek, Star Wars(Thanks George, but it wasn’t necessary.) and other vintage sci-fi properties, but what about Battlestar Galactica? Have you ever wondered what the original Batttlestar Galactica series would look like if it was remastered and re-released? It would look a lot like this.

This amazing reel of a restored and remastered original BSG was created by Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz. This video is a demo to get us all excited about how frakkin’ awesome it looks. I fully support this as long as we also get a remastered Babylon 5 too.

Planet Of The Apes Art By Alex Ross

The latest Planet of the Apes movie has me wanting to watch the old Planet of the Apes movies all over again, but before I do that, I thought I would share this poster art from comic artist Alex Ross. He has created four pieces of poster art inspired by the original Planet of the Apes. These are based on covers of the Boom Studios Comic book Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm. They were available for purchase at San Diego Comic-Con, but you can still buy them here. If any are left.

Each 17 x 22 inch giclee is a limited edition of 168. They will cost $145 each and $195 for #4. Sure, they are a tad expensive, but this is Alex Ross. And apes! Damn dirty apes!
