Planet of the Apes Blu-ray Review

Taken from thedigitalbits rumor mill:

...in the wake of the death of Charlton Heston, we've learned from our industry sources (and other sources as well) that Fox is currently planning to bow what would be a fitting tribute - a Blu-ray Disc box set of not just the classic Planet of the Apes feature film, but possibly all four sequels as well, sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year. This would include at least some new featurettes and other extras. Word is Fox has even discovered the original ending from the preview cut of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. All of this would be part of a 40th anniversary celebration of the original film.

It's also worth reminding you that Warner has officially confirmed that they're planning to deliver Ben-Hur on Blu-ray Disc in 2009.

I remember hearing about the original film coming to Blu, but this is even better. Bring on a boxset of all the films.

bluperch · 04-10-2008, 12:14 AM

Ah, my favorite films once upon a time.

I hope they end up selling the movies individually. The box set phenomena is getting out of control.

Beast · 04-10-2008, 01:00 AM

I'm in for the box set. I enjoy all but the last film in the series.

And if they actually did find the original ending to Conquest, that would be great.

Now if only they could find more footage of the Half Ape/Half Human hybrid from Beneath.

Blu Titan · 04-10-2008, 01:01 AM

I would buy those movies in Blu in any shape or form

GORT · 04-10-2008, 01:36 AM

I would love a box set of these movies

yojoeski · 04-10-2008, 01:39 AM

Any chance of the Ten Commandments getting the blu treatment since that was one of Heston's biggest and most well-known films?

Yeah, I'd love to have that as well so hopefully it'll be released at some point (hopefully sooner than later).

As far as the Planet of the Apes, good to see that the movies should arrive sometime this year.

MickBurke · 04-10-2008, 01:57 AM

Great news! Someone swiped my DVD box set, so I'm eager for these. If they could manage not to spoil the end of the movie on the cover of the BD, that would be swell too...

[Show spoiler]

Whoops!!

Whoops!!

I think that the reveal is so embedded into pop culture now, it doesn't really matter.

It's like Darth Vader

. Shocking for the time, but now pop culture.

Thanks a lot ...I just watched the first Star Wars last week and was hoping to finished the series this weekend.

Just kidding.

reginaroadie · 04-10-2008, 03:30 AM

Like I said before, PLANET OF THE APES is one of the few Fox titles I have, and I think it would look great on Blu-Ray. And after seeing how compact the DIE HARD collection is, I wouldn't mind picking up all five films in one set. Five Blu-Ray discs in one small package is way better than five individual cases together. Save on shelf space.

Blu HD DEFENDER · 04-10-2008, 07:00 AM

i hope its only released as a box set, for the real fans of the ENTIRE series.
these were great films, all of them.

Yeah, exactly - why not? Just like Dirty Harry. They shouldn't not release the lot just because they aren't as well liked.

Raf008 · 04-10-2008, 09:54 AM

Fantastic news. I'm lookin forward for a box set edition.

hc666 · 04-10-2008, 01:48 PM

I would buy this box set. True classic.

From Bill Hunt !! I recall watching these movies every day after school in the 1970's

sounds great, R.I.P. Mr Heston, you will be missed
