Hey folks, Harry here. I have never not loved a Tim Burton film to date.... and never in my life have I seen designs in advance of a Tim Burton film that gave me pause. When he was working on SUPERMAN, some of what we heard was going on seemed bizarre and perhaps inappropriate for Supes... but when the pre-production designs began leaking... they looked fab. BUT these pictures that AMERICAN MULE have been releasing.... Well the quality of the pictures are so starkly lit to take away from the lushness that Oscar Winning DP Philippe Rousselot brings to it... and when it is placed in the context of the sets and is moving... PERHAPS it will all work, but that Ape armor looks like crap in these photos. The helmets and color schemes remind me of the extreme skateboarder look.... which, so far I've never associated with Apes storylines.... BUT who knows... maybe it'll work! maybe.... Hopefully...P.S. I'm not knocking Rick Baker's work... I think the make-up... especially on the CHIMPS is fantastic.... it is just... that armor BLOWS in these pictures... what is up with the flourescent color scheme? But like I said, we'll just have to wait and see in the context of the final film. Remember, when AMERICAN MULE had those X-MEN shots... they kinda sucked too... just like the ones that were here. They were accurate, but they were never meant to be static. We'll have to see how everything comes together... that's why it is a MOVie and not a STILie!

After seeing the vomit-inducing first batch of pictures from this movie, I must say that I was skeptical about the remake. These pics, though, have re-established my faith in Burton.
