    I can't imagine a sequel BEING ultra-violent simply due to the fact that the original certainly wasn't really a violent movie, just a well-made, thinking-man's sci-fi adventure. THAT'S what I loved about ROTPOTA----it made you THINK. I liked the final bridge battle (especially the fact that the humans got outsmarted by their own thinking---they assumed the primates would approach the way WE would approach) and wouldn't mind seeing more human-ape throwdowns, but I don't want a gorefest or Terminator with apes.

    I don't think Caesar would really go along with mass violence against humans---it's not the way he was raised. Against the oppressive humans who are idiots and only want war, yes; but again regular humans (much like the ones who raised him), I couldn't see him turning on them like that. I think in the second one, we'll likely see more of Caesar's rise to power over a growing primate nation and I think we'll likely see the humans give in to their basic, animal nature as the virus begins to decimate the human populace (after all, humans, without their technology, are MUCH more prone to violence than primates are). Perhaps that is even WHY in later movies, you'll see the primates shun modern technology, because they realize it hampers THEIR humanity. Basically, it'll be a movie that turns stuff upside down; the primates will be portrayed at the more "human" characters while the humans (at least some of them) will likely be portrayed as more bestial.

    I think a good title for the movie would likely be either A.) POTA: The Rise of Caesar or B.) POTA: The Fall of the Humans.

    No matter what they do, I hope they keep it thoughtful and compelling and make me wanna see it a few hundred times....!

      Yes, Hector! Like someone said, don't hold back. This thread was asking what I want to see in a sequel...not necessarily what the public wants to see. LOL!!

          I want it, too, Hec--don't get me wrong! I'm not against Jessica in the least when it comes to what I would like to see, I just also want to see it commercially viable. Yes, I'm saying "sell out", but just enough to maintain butts in seats. If there is going to be an ultra violent episode of the series, the next one would be the one to do it in.

            As Zombi 2 proved... adding a Shark to a sequel never hurts.

                That zombie vs shark scene is great. Definitely a high point in Lucio Fulci's career.

                I agree that that the father-son relationship between James Franco and John Lithgow is one of the strong points of Rise of The POTA.

                  So how long does it take a lost Mars Mission to come back, anyway?

                    Isn't that consider about a two year round trip?

                    However...if the get lost...how are they going to obtain more oxygen, water, and food?

                          Since the current film essentially refits Conquest of TPOTA, I guess the sequel should redo Battle for TPOTA.
                          Leave the third one open for the "lost" Mars mission to take place of the original film in this new continuity. (Well never take the place of...)
