Fifty years earlier looking to support his family, Jim joins an expedition to mine the resources of E.D.N III. Funded by the NEVEC corporation, the expedition hopes to tap E.D.N III's 'Thermal Energy', a blood like substance that could solve the Earth Energy problem. Jim meets Dr. Kendric Kovac, operations director Phil Braddock, Doctor Roman, head technician Gale and fellow Rig pilot Laroche. On a job to repair the comms relay, Jim begins to suspect there is a saboteur on the base when he sees someone near the damaged relays. He finds that Doctor Roman has had similar sightings, but dismisses his suspicions and focuses on working to support his family.Some time later Jim stumbles upon an abandoned NEVEC base revealing that the expedition crew were not the first ones to land on E.D.N III as they were told.

The last records detail the Akrid attacking the base and killing the inhabitants. Attempting to leave, Jim fights a massive Akrid leaving his rig damaged and himself close to death before he is saved by the woman he saw at the comms relay.
He awakens in a settlement a few days later, healed. The woman introduces herself as Mira and her people as 'The Forgotten', survivors of NEVEC's first colonization attempt. Their leader Soichi, Mira's father, does not trust Jim but allows him to leave their enclave after repaying his debt under the agreement that he not reveal their existence.Returning to base he finds it under attack by Akrid, the result of an experiment by Dr. Kovac, who's been studying how to control them. Jim confronts Braddock with his discovery of the first colony. Braddock explains that his father was the colonies leader before it was lost, and that to maintain the expedition's funding from NEVEC he must keep the incident secret.
Jim agrees to keep the colony secret and help him investigate what happened, keeping the Forgotten a secret. Several months pass and with the Forgotten's help Jim is able to retrieve information on what happened and give it to Braddock. He is shocked to find that when the colony was attacked his father abandoned it to save Braddock and his mother. Jim tries to tell Braddock about the Forgotten but is cut short when he must defend the base from an Akrid. In the following months Jim grows closer to the Forgotten and the Expedition, planning to bring Braddock and Soichi together so they can resolve their pasts.Before he can NEVEC unexpectedly takes over the Expedition.
They begin looking for Doctor Roman, who with Jim's help has been working on triangulating the purest veins of Thermal Energy, however he finds Doctor Roman dead and in a fit of rage kills a NEVEC soldier nearby who presumably murdered her. Now determined to stop NEVEC Jim and the Forgotten prepare to sabotage their mining efforts with Gale's help.
While enacting their plan however they are confronted by Laroche who has been sent by NEVEC to stop them. He reveals that he called NEVEC to the base after seeing Jim meet with Mira, and that NEVEC is attacking the Forgotten. Jim defeats Laroche but spares him and makes his way to the Forgotten's settlement. Soichi is killed and Jim forced to surrender when he finds NEVEC has taken his family hostage.Using Doctor Romans Stolen Research combined with Dr. Kovacs smarts NEVEC has a Plan to Save Earth. Braddock helps Jim escape and free his family and the crew, including Laroche despite what he's done, he sacrifices himself to kill Neven's soldiers. Pursuing NEVEC's field commander Isenberg, Jim ruins his plan to take control of the Akrid and use them to wipe out the rebels and so NEVEC are not able to mine the Living planet of Pure Energy and save earth, Jim put a Stop to Isenberg's plan by killing him but nearly dying himself.With NEVEC defeated the expedition crew and the Forgotten become the first snow pirates.
Gale and Mira use Soichi's research to create the Harmonizer, a device that uses thermal energy to heal the user. In the present Jim apologizes to his grand daughter for leaving a legacy where she has been forced to fight before passing away. An elderly Laroche finds them and rescues Diana. Diana is saddened by her grandfather's passing but looks forward to the possibility of winning the war and taking the planet back from NEVEC.Gameplay Using the game's mission-based mechanics, players can choose to take on core quests that progress the story, or side-quests to help out fellow colonists on the planet.
The game will allow players to openly explore areas in a style similar to with the ability to talk to, obtain side-quests, upgrade equipment and build their own bipedal rigs using items gathered throughout the campaign. Thermal energy will no longer be tied to the characters' life support, and instead will primarily be used as a form of currency, giving the player more freedom to explore E.D.N. Once again, the antagonists of the game are the Akrid, 'aliens' indigenous to the planet of E.D.N.

Director of Planet of the ApesAfter optioning the novel's film rights, Jacobs spent over three years trying to convince filmmakers to take on the project. He hired a succession of artists to create test sketches and hired veteran television writer, creator of, to pen the screenplay. Serling's script changed elements of Boulle's novel, introducing themes; notably, he devised a new twist ending that revealed the planet to be a future Earth where humans had destroyed themselves through. Production costs were estimated at over $10 million, a risk no studio in either Hollywood or Europe would assume.
Jacobs and associate producer persevered and eventually persuaded to star; Heston in turn recommended director. The team recorded a brief featuring Heston, which ultimately convinced the film could succeed.Fox insisted on changes to reduce the budget to a more manageable $5.8 million. The producers hired veteran writer, who had previously Boulle's novel, to rewrite Serling's script. To save on special effects costs, Wilson's script described an ape society more primitive than that which appeared in the novel. The new version changed much of the plot and dialogue, but retained the Cold War themes and Serling's ending.
Created the makeup effects.Heston played 20th-century American astronaut, who travels to a strange planet where intelligent apes dominate mute, primitive humans. And played the sympathetic chimpanzees and and portrayed Taylor's love interest. Played the villain, orangutan Minister of Science.
The finale, in which Taylor comes upon a ruined and realizes he has been on Earth all along, became the series' defining scene and one of the most iconic images in 1960s film. Planet of the Apes was released on February 8, 1968 and was a smash success with both critics and audiences.
It was one of the year's 10 biggest money makers in North America, taking in an estimated $22 million (nearly four times its budget) and earned rave reviews. John Chambers received an honorary Oscar at the for his make-up effects, the first ever given to a make-up artist. 's score and 's costume design also earned Oscar nominations.
Fox approached Jacobs and Abrahams about filming a sequel. Though they had not made the film with sequels in mind, its success led them to consider the prospect. Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970). Main article:Planning for the sequel, eventually titled, began two months after the original film's release. Jacobs and Abrahams considered several treatments by Serling and Boulle, eventually rejecting them.
In late 1968, the producers hired to write the script; he would become the primary writer for the franchise. Charlton Heston was uninterested in a sequel, but agreed to shoot a few scenes if his character was killed off and his salary was donated to charity.
In one of many major rewrites, Dehn altered the script to center on a new character, played. With Schaffner unavailable, owing to his work on, the producers hired as director on January 8, 1969. Post struggled with the material, especially after the studio cut the budget to $3.4 million.The story follows Franciscus' character, an astronaut who, while searching for Taylor, inadvertently follows him into the future. After encountering the apes from the first film, Brent finds Taylor imprisoned by a colony of subterranean human mutants who worship an ancient nuclear bomb.
Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans and Linda Harrison returned as Zira, Zaius and Nova. Replaced Roddy McDowall as Cornelius, as McDowall was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict.
Played gorilla and played mutant leader. The film opened on May 26, 1970.
Unlike its predecessor, Beneath was poorly reviewed; critics typically regard it as the worst of the Apes sequels other than the last one,. Nonetheless, it was a major box office hit, nearing the original's numbers. Despite a conclusion depicting the planet's nuclear destruction, Fox requested another sequel, creating a series. Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971). Returned as in Escape from the Planet of the Apes. He would go on to star in two more Apes films and the live-action television series.Following the financial success of Beneath, Arthur P. Jacobs recruited Paul Dehn to write a new script with a brief telegram: 'Apes exist, sequel required.'
Dehn immediately started work on what became. The producers hired a new director,. Fox gave the production a greatly diminished budget of $2.5 million, which required a tight production schedule.To work around the budget, as well as Beneath 's seemingly definitive ending, the film took the series in a new direction by transporting Zira (Kim Hunter) and Cornelius (Roddy McDowall, returning to the role after being absent from Beneath) back in time to the contemporary United States, reducing the need for expensive sets and ape make-up effects. In the film, Zira and Cornelius are initially accepted by American society, but fears that their child will bring about the domination of the human race by evolved apes leads to conflict. Jacobs' wife, who appeared as a mutant in Beneath and would play the ape in the next two sequels, was cast as Dr. Stephanie Branton. Lewis Dixon, played and portrayed the villain, the president's science advisor.Compared to its predecessors, Escape dwelt more heavily on themes of racial conflict, which became a primary focus through the rest of the series.
The film opened on May 21, 1971, less than a year after Beneath. It was well received by critics. From this point critics began seeing the films less as independent units and more as installments in a greater work; editor Frederick S. Clarke wrote that the burgeoning series had 'the promise of being the first epic of filmed science fiction.' It also performed well at the box office, though not as strongly as its predecessors.
Fox ordered a third sequel. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972). Main article:Based on the strong positive response to Escape, Fox ordered, though it provided a comparatively low budget of $1.7 million. Paul Dehn returned as the scriptwriter, and producer Jacobs hired to direct. Thompson had worked with Jacobs on two earlier films as well as during the initial stages of Planet, but scheduling conflicts had made him unavailable during its long development process. For Conquest, Thompson and Dehn focused heavily on the racial conflict theme, an ancillary concern in the early films that became a central focus in Escape. In particular, Dehn associated the apes with African-Americans and modeled the plot after the 1966 and other episodes from the.
Roddy McDowall signed on to play, the son of his previous character Cornelius. Ricardo Montalban returned as Armando, while played, played and played.Following Escape, Conquest is set in a near future where humans have turned apes into slaves; Caesar rises from bondage to lead an ape rebellion. The film opened on June 30, 1972. Reviews were mixed, but the ending left the series open to another sequel and Conquest was successful enough at the box office that Fox commissioned another film.
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973). Main article:Fox approved with a $1.2 million budget, the lowest of the series.
The filmmakers went into the project knowing that it would be the end of the series. Lee Thompson returned as director. Series writer Paul Dehn submitted a treatment, but illness forced him to leave the film before completing the script. The producers subsequently hired and to write the screenplay.
Battle continued Conquest 's focus on racial conflict and domination but, likely based in part on the studio's wishes, the Corringtons discarded Dehn's pessimistic treatment in favor of a story with a more hopeful, though ambiguous, resolution.Battle follows Caesar as he leads the apes and their human subjects after a devastating war that destroyed much of the planet. He contends with both an attack by radiation-scarred human mutants and a coup attempt as he attempts to build a better society for both apes and humans. McDowall returned as Caesar and Severn Darden returned as Kolp. Played the orangutan, played (the brother of Hari Rhodes' character) and played the evil gorilla general.
Played the orangutan in a. The film opened on May 2, 1973. It made a profit over production costs, but received poor reviews from critics, who regard it as the weakest of the five films.Critics have offered various interpretations of the film's message and its significance for the series.
Particular attention has been paid to the ambiguous imagery in the ending: set over 700 years after the main events, the last scene depicts a statue of Caesar shedding a single tear as the Lawgiver recounts Caesar's story to an integrated audience of ape and human children. By one interpretation, the statue cries tears of joy because the species have broken the cycle of oppression, giving the series an optimistic finale. By another, the statue weeps because racial strife still exists, implying the dystopian future of Planet and Beneath is unavoidable. Television series Planet of the Apes TV series. The lead cast of the Planet of the Apes television series: as Burke, as Virdon and Roddy McDowall as GalenAs well as their profitable returns at the box office, the films earned very high ratings on television after their theatrical runs. To capitalize on this success, Arthur P. Jacobs conceived of an hour-long live action television series to follow the films.
He first had the idea in 1971 during the production of Conquest, which he then anticipated would be the final film, but he shelved the project once Fox ordered a fifth installment. Jacobs died on June 27, 1973, bringing an end to the APJAC Productions era of the Planet of the Apes franchise. Former Fox executive took over as producer for the television project, titled. Picked up the series for its 1974 autumn lineup.and played Alan Virdon and Peter Burke, two 20th-century American astronauts who pass through a time warp to a future where apes subjugate humans (unlike the original film, the humans can speak). Roddy McDowall returned to the franchise as Galen, a chimpanzee who joins the astronauts. Played orangutan Councillor and played gorilla General Urko.
The episodes portray Virdon, Burke, and Galen as they search for a way home, aid downtrodden humans and apes and avoid the authorities. The show premiered on September 13, 1974, filling CBS's 8–9 p.m. Time slot on Fridays.
It earned low ratings during its run, a fact the production team attributed to repetitive storytelling and too little screen time for the apes who made the franchise famous. Given the considerable production costs, CBS canceled the show after 14 episodes, the last airing on December 20, 1974.In 1981, Fox reedited ten of the episodes into five. Each film combined two episodes and (in some markets) added new introductory and concluding segments starring McDowall as an aged Galen. The films were given what scholar Eric Greene calls 'the most outlandish titles of the Apes corpus': Back to the Planet of the Apes; Forgotten City of the Planet of the Apes; Treachery and Greed on the Planet of the Apes; Life, Liberty and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes; and Farewell to the Planet of the Apes.Greene finds the show's position in the Apes timeline significant: set in 3085, it occurs about 900 years before Taylor's crash in the original film and 400 years after the Lawgiver's sermon in Battle. By depicting a future where apes dominate humans, it implies the Lawgiver's message of equality between man and ape has failed, giving weight to the more pessimistic interpretation of Battle 's ending.
Greene argues that the show emphasized the theme of racial conflict less than the films had, though the episodes 'The Trap' and 'The Liberator' made it a central focus. Animated series. Main article:In 1975, after the failure of the live-action series, and 20th Century Fox agreed to adapt Planet of the Apes for an animated series. The network contracted to produce a half-hour titled., co-creator of, took on most creative control as associate producer, storyboard director and supervising director.
Wildey had only watched the original film and Beneath and thus based his interpretation on them. As such, the show relied less on the themes and plot developments from Escape, Conquest and Battle and instead returned to the and Cold War themes prominent in the first two films.The plot concerns three American astronauts, Bill Hudson (Tom Williams), Jeff Allen (, who played MacDonald in Battle) and Judy Franklin , who inadvertently journey to Earth's far future. They find the world populated by three groups: mute humans who inhabit desert caves, subterranean human 'Underdwellers' fashioned after the mutants of Beneath and civilized apes who subjugate the humans. Through the show, the astronauts become increasingly involved in the planet's affairs and in defending the humans against an ape invasion.
The cast featured characters based on those from the previous films and TV series, including Nova (Nevins again), General Urko (Henry Cordin), Zira (Philippa Harris), Cornelius (Edwin Mills) and Dr. Zaius (Richard Blackburn). NBC broadcast 13 episodes between September 6 and November 29, 1975. The show did not achieve particularly strong ratings. The network considered producing a second three-episode season to complete the story, but this never materialized. Remake film Planned relaunch and development hell Fox initiated plans to relaunch the Planet of the Apes series in the 1980s, but the project fell into a drawn-out and fruitless development phase—'—for over 10 years, one of the most protracted development periods in film history. It began in 1988, when Fox announced that, then a 21-year-old director, would develop a new Apes movie.
At a Fox executive's invitation, Rifkin pitched a concept for Return to the Planet of the Apes, an alternative sequel to Planet that ignored the other four films. In Rifkin's initial concept, Taylor's descendant Duke launches a -like uprising against Roman-inspired ape oppressors led by General Izan. Days before the project was scheduled to enter, Fox brought in new studio executives, who sent it back to development. They commissioned Rifkin to write several redrafts, but found them unsatisfactory and ultimately scrapped the project.After several years in limbo, Fox returned to the Apes concept, this time with as a producer. Stone brought in as screenwriter and they developed a script titled Return of the Apes. In their script, humanity is threatened by an ailment encoded in their DNA, so two scientists go back in time thousands of years to stop it at its origin. They discover the disease was engineered by advanced apes to ensure humanity's eventual destruction.
Committed to star as scientist Will Robinson and agreed to direct. The draft impressed Fox president, but other executives were ambivalent about the action script, believing that it should be lighter. At one point, executive Dylan Sellers insisted the script include a comic scene involving apes playing baseball as his 'stamp' on the film and fired Hayes when he left it out. This move caused Noyce to quit as well, and subsequently almost everyone involved in the project left for one reason or another.After the collapse of the Stone-Hayes project, Fox brought on to develop a new Apes concept. Columbus hired to write a screenplay taking elements from Boulle's novel and various unused treatments. In Hamm's script, an ape astronaut from a distant planet unleashes a devastating virus on Earth. Scientists go to the astronaut's planet, where apes hunt humans; they locate a cure, but return to find Earth overrun by simians.
Schwarzenegger remained attached, but Fox found the script underwhelming. Columbus left the project in 1995 after his mother's death and stepped in to produce. Cameron intended to go in a 'very different direction' with the script, but following the critical and financial success of his film, he dropped out of the project. Fox approached a series of directors to take over, without success.
Main article:In 1999, Fox hired to write a new script. Fox insisted on a July 2001 release date, but otherwise offered Broyles considerable creative license. This prospect attracted director, who hoped to do a 're-imagining' of Planet of the Apes. Burton found the production arduous, largely due to Fox's strict release schedule. The studio budgeted the film at $100 million, meaning Broyles' ambitious script had to be altered to reduce costs; and worked on rewrites even as the film entered production. The tight schedule meant that all stages of production were rushed.The film stars as astronaut, who accidentally travels through a wormhole to a distant planet where talking apes enslave humans. He leads a human revolt and upends ape civilization by discovering that the apes evolved from the normal Earth primates who had accompanied his mission and had arrived on the planet years before.
Played chimpanzee, while played the human-hating chimpanzee. The film received mixed reviews; most critics believed it failed to compare to the original. Much of the negative commentary focused on the confusing plot and twist ending, though many reviewers praised the special effects. The film succeeded at the box office, taking in $362 million worldwide. Fox had initially hoped for a sequel, but the difficult production left Burton unenthusiastic about participating, and the film failed to generate enough interest for the studio to pursue a follow-up.
Reboot film series Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011). Portrayed Caesar viaIn 2005, screenwriters developed a concept for a new Planet of the Apes film, eventually titled. Inspired by news articles on apes raised as humans and advances in genetics, Jaffa conceived an idea for a film about a genetically enhanced chimp raised in a human household. He and Silver pitched the concept to Fox as a way to the Apes franchise by reinventing the story of the chimpanzee, the lead character of Conquest and Battle. Fox was impressed and bought the pitch, but development struggled for five years as the production cycled through scripts, writers, directors and producers. In 2010, producers and Dylan Clark of Chernin Entertainment stepped in to move the film forward, retaining Jaffa and Silver as writers.In the final script, Caesar receives enhanced cognition from a viral drug created by Will Rodman, who raises him.
After being imprisoned in a primate sanctuary, Caesar uses his ingenuity to launch an uprising. The screenplay contains complex connections to other entries in the series, causing some confusion as to its exact relation to them. Oliver Lindler writes that while the film's premise might identify it as a of Conquest, official dispatches and professional reviewers typically avoided the term, instead calling the film a or 'origin story' to the original Planet of the Apes film and/or a of the series; fans and bloggers were more apt to refer to it as a 'remake'.
The completed script attracted director. To portray ape characters realistically, the production avoided in favor of, partnering with New Zealand visual effects company. Wyatt cast as Will Rodman, while veteran performance capture actor signed on to star as Caesar.Rise debuted on August 5, 2011. Critics reviewed it positively, especially praising the visual effects and Serkis' performance.
It was a major box office hit, taking in $482 million globally, more than five times its $93 million budget. Weta's special effects earned the film two and an Oscar nomination at the, among other accolades. The strength of Serkis' performance also inspired Fox to promote him for Oscar consideration; he was not nominated by Academy voters. Following the movie's success, Fox immediately planned for a sequel.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014). Director and cast of (from left): and stars, and Andy SerkisProducers Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark started planning the film eventually titled just after Rise 's release in 2011. Fox allocated a budget of $170 million. Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver returned to pen the script and produce and the studio quickly signed Andy Serkis to reprise his role as Caesar. Director Rupert Wyatt withdrew from the project due to production and scheduling issues and was replaced by.Set 10 years after Rise, the film establishes that the 'simian flu', a side effect of the drug that enhanced the apes' intelligence, has killed most humans.
Caesar struggles to maintain peace as his ape community is drawn into violent clashes with nearby human survivors. Weta Digital again provided special effects work, which combined practical sets, digitally manipulated backgrounds and performance capture ape characters. The lead human characters were played by, as Malcolm;, as Ellie; and, as Dreyfus. Released on July 11, 2014, the film was very well received by critics, who found it a strong follow-up to Rise and lauded the combination of an engaging script with impressive special effects. It also performed very strongly at the box office, taking in $707 million in worldwide grosses. Its special effects received several honors, including three Visual Effects Society Awards and an Oscar nomination at the. War for the Planet of the Apes (2017).

It earned widespread critical acclaim; reviewers praised the effects and narrative and found the film a fitting conclusion to Caesar's story. It earned $491 million around the globe. Fourth film In October 2016, it was reported that a fourth film in the new series was being discussed. Shortly before the release of War in July 2017, Reeves said that he expressed interest in making more Apes films and that Steve Zahn, who played Bad Ape in the film, had set up a story for further sequels.
Writer Mark Bomback hinted that further films would be possible. In April 2019, following the, Disney announced that future Planet of the Apes films are in development.

Toys and merchandise The series, and particularly the live-action Apes television show and the Return to the Planet of the Apes cartoon, generated numerous toy and merchandising tie-ins.
During the 1970s, Fox licensed around 60 companies to produce about 300 different Apes products, including action figures and playsets, kits, coloring books, trading cards, costumes, apparel, branded tableware, and lunch boxes. This level of merchandising was unusual for the time and the success of Apes merchandise may have inspired the campaigns that later became commonplace for films and television series. The action figures, sold by beginning in 1973, were the first such toys sold as film tie-ins; they proved popular and inspired the rise of action figure series based on popular culture franchises. Eric Greene writes that Apes toys were popular enough to lead some contemporary children to engage in apes-vs.-humans role-playing games that simulated the series' conflicts in a manner similar to 'Cowboys and Indians'. With the release of the 21st-century films, Fox licensed several companies to manufacture new Apes toys, including detailed action figures of new and 'classic' characters sold as.

Eric Greene, author of a book on the role of race in the original films and spinoff material, writes that 'when seen as one epic work, the Apes saga emerges as a liberal allegory of racial conflict.' In Greene's interpretation, the franchise's plot arc is rooted in the central conflict in which humans and apes alternately subjugate one another in a destructive cycle.
Between human and ape manifests primarily in physical appearance, and dominance derives from social power rather than innate superiority. Each film shifts the power balance so that the audience identifies sometimes with the humans and at other times with the apes.
According to Greene, this arc's central message is that unresolved racial discord inevitably leads to cataclysm. Other critics have adopted or echoed Greene's interpretation. Producers Abrahams and Jacobs did not consciously intend the first film's racial undertones and did not appreciate them until pointed them out in 1968.
Subsequently, the filmmakers incorporated the theme more overtly in later installments; as a result, race moves from being a secondary motif in the first two films to becoming the major concern of the last three.Several critics have written that the reboot films downplay this theme from the original series, removing the racial subtext of conflict between humans and apes. These critics generally argue that this is to the films' detriment, writing that it softens the series' edge, leaves it thematically shallow, and marginalizes non-white characters; several critics have written that the films appear to invoke a ', rather than exploring issues of race. Others write that the films incorporate racial themes in subtler ways, but that their presentation oversimplifies a complex message to the point of reinforcing racial norms rather than challenging them.
Cold War and nuclear apocalypse The and the threat of are major themes introduced in Rod Serling's original Planet of the Apes script. The films are and, suggesting the era's tensions could well lead to world destruction.
The films critique both sides of the war, with the oppressive ape society and the underground mutant city featuring traits of both Western culture and the Soviet bloc. According to Greene, Cold War motifs were central to the first two films and some spinoff media, but were less significant in the later sequels, which foregrounded racial conflict instead.
Animal rights Questions of also figure heavily in the series; Greene considers this related to the racial themes. The first film portrays Taylor treated cruelly by apes who consider him an animal; in later films, humans abuse apes for the same reason. The idea of primate rights is much more dominant in the reboot films, which directly invoke the question of in portraying Caesar and his followers struggling for their rights in a society that does not consider them.

The series' distinctive ape costumes were employed in live appearances, including by musician ( from Battle) on and by on. In the 1970s, fans Bill Blake and Paula Crist created Cornelius and Zira costumes; their routine was convincing enough that Fox licensed them to portray the characters at events.

' 1987 science fiction spoof lampooned the original Planet's Statue of Liberty ending.Interest in the series resurged in the 1990s, as plans for a new film and other media circulated. Greene attributes this renewed interest to a combination of 'pop culture nostalgia and baby boomer economics', as well as a 'political ferment' rising at the time that hearkened back to the period when the films were first released.
