The PLANET OF THE APES reshoots are not what they seem...

Hey folks, Harry here... Could it be that the shooting currently commencing at Pinewood Studios in London is happening to attempt to preserve the twist... the twist that has been kept secret in the scripts (allegedly) that was only in Burton and the Producer's heads (allegedly) and that Burton is pulling a sneaky great-for-us filmmaker trick? I surely hope so. I'm scared of PLANET OF THE APES... not because I don't love Tim Burton and everyone of his films... but because I love the originals sooooo much.... That I am near terrified of Burton changing my impressions about them through the sheer power of his imagination. I don't want to like something more than those old films. They are sacred... but at the same time I know that Burton has my number... consistently... We'll see... keep your fingers crossed.

Hello

I have to remain anonomous beacuse the information I am about to pass to you could have far reaching implications. I know that it has been batted around the net for a while that Tim Burton has been keeping the end of Planet of the Apes secret, and I am sure that he would not like information being passed around that he and his team are currently in the UK shooting re-shoots and a possible different twist ending.

They are shooting at Pinewood under the less than inventive name of P.O.T.A.L.A ( Planet of the Apes L.A!!) Shooting started this week and is set to continue only for 7-10 days. I'm sure that this will come as no small comfort to those who have been waiting with bated breath for the movie thinking that something has gone wrong in production, but on the other hand they could be filming abroad and this close to release to prevent and possible spoilers being released to give away Tim Burton's own vision of how the end should be portrayed.

I assure you that this information is 100% genuine but as I am very close to the production I can and will not reveal my identity. The main reason for passing this information on is because I am a true believer that when it comes to messing around with re-makes of Classic & Original movies, Director's are playing with fire. I have to say that Tim Burton is one of the few directors today that you could trust with putting his own interpretation together of Apes, but I hope that the current re-shoots are just not a warning of what is to come.

There you have it, the scoop is yours

Keep up the good work
