PLANET OF THE APES was released 58 years ago today. Regarded as one of the great science fiction films and a movie with one of the great plot twists, the behind the scenes story is like talking a walk through The Forbidden Zone…

1/50

In the early 1960s, successful French author Pierre Boulle was working on his latest novel. A science fiction story set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, it was called La Planète des singes, translated as Planet of the Apes.

2/50

Movie producer Arthur P. Jacobs got wind of the premise – a planet where apes are superior to humans – and was interested. He was producer on What A Way To Go at the time and convinced its director, J. Lee Thompson, to buy the rights with him.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY was released 58 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the most influential films to come out of Hollywood and a Stanley Kubrick masterpiece, the story of how it came to the screen is as mind-boggling as the Stargate…

After releasing his classic satire Dr Strangelove in 1964, Kubrick knew he wanted his next project to be a groundbreaking science fiction film. He got in touch with acclaimed sci fi author and futurist Arthur C. Clarke by letter, asking if he wanted to collaborate on a script.

Clarke was living in Ceylon, Sri Lanka at the time and Kubrick was under the impression he was a recluse. Clarke replied saying he was very interested in working with “enfant terrible” but also asked “why does he think I’m a recluse?”

THE MATRIX was released 27 years ago today. Acclaimed as both one of the great science fiction movies and a groundbreaking action film, the behind-the-scenes story will have you questioning reality…

1/44

In 1995, Lana and Lily Wachowski had written Assassins. The producer of that film was Joel Silver, and the Wachowskis showed him their new screenplay called The Matrix. Silver loved the script, but not the Wachowskis’ insistence that they direct it themselves.

2/44

The Wachowskis had another script, called Bound, which they managed to get financed. The film wasn’t a commercial success but was critically acclaimed. Warner Bros were impressed too, and agreed to fund The Matrix.

In 1967, struggling writer Mario Puzo started penning a new book – an epic crime thriller he called Mafia. Paramount literary scouts came across the manuscript when it was just a 20-page outline and took it to Paramount Vice President of Production, Peter Bart.

2/46

Bart loved it, calling it “much beyond a Mafia story.” He offered Puzo $12,500 for the film rights, with an extra $80k if it were made into a film. Puzo’s agent wanted to start a bidding war between studios but Puzo (reportedly in $10k of gambling debts) accepted the deal.
