20th Century Fox has not given up plans on rebooting the PLANET OF THE APES franchise, despite reports the project was killed, VULTURE [1] reports.
Peter Chernin has joined on to produce the film code-named CAESER and the studio has hired Jamie Moss to rework Scott Frank's screenplay for the film. Frank, who was previously attached to write and direct, took a different path with his script and was unwilling to change direction. A new director should be named soon.
