A Look at Planet Of The Apes

A Look at Planet Of The Apes

This episode dives deep into the creation of Planet of the Apes (1968), tracing how a bold, philosophical sci‑fi concept became one of cinema’s most iconic films. You walk listeners through the production journey, the evolution of the script, the artistry behind the apes, and spotlight three characters whose performances shaped the franchise’s legacy.

Topics include:

  • Budget realities forced a dramatic pivot: the ape society became pre‑industrial, leaning into horses, huts, and tribal hierarchy.
  • Filming Locations - The production leaned heavily on rugged, natural environments:
  • The Score - Jerry Goldsmith’s avant‑garde composition
  • Shooting The Finale
  • Design
  • Forced perspective shots
  • Matte painting enhancements
