Rise of the Apes: Andy Serkis as Casear

[samurainoir]

I have no doubt that Serkis will one day receive a posthumous Oscar for his pioneering work in Motion Capture Suit Performance. Which is not yet recognized by the Academy.

I hope this movie is good, but why go to the trouble of making CG apes, and base all their movement off a human anyway?

Too much caffeine man:

Any new news on the new Alien Nation or the New POTA's ? - Mego Talk

To say I am not looking forward to this is an understatement.

I'll probably see this - unless it gets lousy reviews. But I think CGI-ifying it is unneccesary and reeks of Hollywood trying to make a blockbuster franchise from a 'safe' property rather than trying to make a good movie, or acknowledging the mistakes of the Burton 're-imagining'.

Wow! most of the images of Serkis in the motion capture gear got pulled due to cease and desist letters, so now we only have cartoon simulations!

All this CGI stuff gives me a headache sometimes.

I liked Roddy McDowall's version of Ceasar better. Even though he b*****ed and moaned about the latex makeup prostheses, he still managed to pull off a convincing performance as Ceasar.

Andy Serkis? Well, he's an okay actor, but I don't think I've ever seen him in something that doesn't require CGI or a boatload of makeup.

If the apes are going to be CGI I don't have any interest in the movie.

It means they care more about effects than story
