Published to coincide with the release of Tim Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes this summer, The Planet of the Apes Chronicles recounts the entire history of the Apes saga via a wealth of interviews with members of the cast and crew of the original film, articles, essays and reviews from the original five films, the TV series, comic books and animated cartoon series. Featuring an analysis of the new Tim Burton Planet of the Apes film and the early draft screenplays that precipitated its production, this will be the first book to examine every aspect of this pop-culture phenomenon.
