Pinewood Drive In Theater, UK: Nov. 14--Apes on the big screen!

[jessica]

It has been confirmed....the ORIGINAL 1968 movie will be showing at the Pinewood Drive in Theater in the UK on November 14, 2009. For all of you UK fans who have never seen this on the big screen, now is your chance!!! Costumed apes will also be on hand to add to the experience. If you are in the area and can attend in a Planet of the Apes costume and also want to go ape, you and your family can be there at the event courtesy of Pinewood...just let me know in advance so that I add you to the roster of costumed apes. An exclusive tour of Pinewood studios will also be given to apes who attend in costume. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

The 2001 remake wasn't selling (surprize!!!) so at the last moment, Pinewood Studios changed it to the ORIGINAL MOVIE. Now go out there and see this movie if you are in the area. Ape fans in the UK--UNITE!!

Pinewood is located in heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, just 8 miles from Heathrow and 20 miles from Soho.

If anyone can attend this event, please take lots of photos for me.

Too bad we can't make this scene Jess. I would love to see the Apes on the big screen, and at a drive-in? BONUS! But unless this will happen somewhere in CA in the near future, we'll just have to keep dreamin'.

Bad news: the apes movie disappeared through a Hasslein Curve on the Pinewood Studios website. I just contacted Pinewood Studios. They have confirmed that the November 14 of Planet of the Apes will NOT be shown.

The reason why they were going to show the 2001 remake was because it was something that was filmed there. But nobody bought the tickets. We know why! Because it sucks!! Then they were going to show the 1968 movie, but there was not enough lead time to make it a success and they have just canceled it today.

Just because it's not showing November 14 does not mean that they won't show the 1968 movie sometime next year. They don't know exactly when but they will let the Forum of the Apes know. Before hanging up, I told them that they need to make sure it's the 1968 movie classic because the 2001 won't sell. They know now.
