The original Planet of the Apes is an all - time classic , but the beloved moving picture was n’t the first crack at bringing Pierre Boulle ’s work to the big screen . Twilight Zone Maker Rod Serling wrote an early draft for the screenplay , feature tons of moments that never made it into the concluding photographic film . And now , his account is being used as the basis for a new comic .
write by Boom Studios , Planet of the Apes : Visionaries will use Serling ’s original screenplay — which carry the writeryears to adapt from Boulle ’s original novel — as well as former concept prowess for the 1968 pic , as its base to tell a new reading of the write up under the auspice of writer Dana Gould and artist Chad Lewis .
Paolo Rivera ’s covering fire for the vivid novel already includes one major going that Serling ’s screenplay had from the final celluloid : Taylor ( or , as he was named in Serling ’s hand , Thomas ) discovering a whole civilisation of aper in a potpourri of then - contemporary American liveliness .
agree to Gould , the Good Book will experience right at place with Serling ’s past genre work . Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporter :
As someone who knows the original motion-picture show by pith , I ’m honored to pose Rod Serling ’s original imaginativeness to the public . It ’s the reality you know , yet it ’s also very unlike ; very political , very Rod Serling . For me , this is all about him .
Planet of the Apes : visionary is determine to hit shelf this August , as part of Boom ’s celebration of the franchise ’s 50th natal day .
