LOOKOUT! New APES movie has a director now?

by Matt Holmes

Production Weekly, a trade magazine we shouldn't forget, has THE LOOKOUT director Scott Frank attached to GENESIS: APES, 20th Century Fox's attempts to revive the four decade old franchise. Solid, solid, choice. Actually he's better than that, he is a great choice. THE LOOKOUT is a stunning thriller, this is a hungry director who will have the enthusiasm to move this series forward. This is a director without ego, he is not a Brett Ratner or hell, even a Tim Burton who had too much of his own personal vision to bring to this series. He may be inexperienced but hell, Chris Nolan only directed two features before he took on BATMAN BEGINS. We await some kind of official announcement but it sure looks like things are quickly moving forward on bringing back those damn dirty apes! source - first showing via - cinema blend
