Planet of the Apes was a concept that started life in 1963 as a quirky work by French literary novelist Pierre (The Bridge on the River Kwai) Boulle. His concept of a world where humans are ruled over by apes proceeded to become one of the biggest multi-media sensations in history. The 1968 Charlton Heston motion-picture adaptation of Boulle's book was celebrated and successful but was just the beginning. By 1973 said picture had spawned four sequels. It then spun off a live-action TV series which in turn spun off the animated TV show Return to the Planet of the Apes. What with this comic books novelizations and a tsunami of merchandising the late sixties and first half of the seventies had a distinctly simian flavor. A new generation was introduced to the concept when in 2001 Tim Burton's updating of the series appeared in cinemas. This itself was rebooted a decade later in the form of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and its two sequels. Despite all the fantasy (and money-chasing) however the series has always been marked by thoughtfulness exploring serious themes alien to most franchises. Planet of the Apes explores every aspect of this media phenomenon---from books to films to comic books to television shows to video games to merchandise---to provide an overview of Planet of the Apes that is truly definitive. With the help of new and exclusive interviews it examines the contributions of producers directors writers actors and makeup artists in an attempt to gain an understanding of how this media property has changed the world.
