Planet Of The Apes Behind Schedule - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

The Inside.com Web site reported that Tim Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes may be three or four days behind schedule. Fox is reportedly struggling to get the film completed in time for a July 27 release and postponed for two days an exhibitor screening originally set for July 17.

The press junket for the movie, meanwhile, has been pushed to July 20, just a week before the film opens, the site reported. "We were in the lab all weekend long," Fox vice chairman Bob Harper told Inside.com. "We've never done a film on this tight a schedule." Harper said the film is behind schedule mainly because of the post-production special-effects work that is still underway. But as recently as two weeks ago, filmmakers were reportedly
reshooting live-action scenes, including an opening rocket-crash sequence, sources familiar with the situation told Inside.com. In addition, studio executives also are said to have requested significant changes in composer Danny Elfman's score to make the music more heroic-sounding, a source told the site.
