Keep your hands off my screentime you damn dirty ape!! Everyone's friends at The Forbidden Zone have re-edited Planet of the Apes into a Twilight Zone episode.

The boing boing link has a torrent link as well.

  • That's an excellent editing job... my only critique is that they did an excellent job of using the "Twilight Zone" typeface for the closing credits, but they used pretty dull modern fonts for the opening credits.
  • Nicely done. It's surprising how well it flows with over an hour cut.
  • The edit-point choices are good, but the edits themselves are .. not that great, imho. Brother can you spare a cross-fade? The whole is rather excellent, nevertheless.
  • I don't know why (I'm not normally a Charleton Heston fan), but I love this movie - the whole series. It's probably Dr. Zira. The original novel is very good, but very different. I've downloaded this to save for a treat later.
