On the road to making the landmark science-fiction classic, 20th Century Fox commissioned Rod Serling to adapt Pierre Boulle's source novel. Serling’s first draft, which was drastically revised before filming, was a radically different vision of the franchise than the one the world has come to know and love. This is the world you know from the acclaimed Planet of the Apes film series, but with key differences - Taylor is Thomas, and Ape City isn’t a crude, primitive grouping of huts; instead, it’s a bustling and urbane metropolis filled with cars and skyscrapers and a vibrant Ape culture. In a world where Apes wear modern clothes, drive modern cars and rule the late night talk show scene, the arrival of one man will forever change how Apes – and Humans – view themselves.
