01 The Planet of the Apes - Part I: 1968 Original
Spurred by this year’s release of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, we kick off Kinotes in a big way with an epic three-episode series on THE PLANET OF THE APES. Part I will tackle the original PLANET OF THE APES, Part II: RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, and Part III: DAWN & WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES.
In this episode, Part I, we'll talk Jerry Goldmith's score from the original 1968 film, the part it has to play in film music history, his unorthodox approaches to composing and recording it, and tons more.
SPOILERS for only the 1968 PLANET OF THE APES in this one! Also, sorry, we won’t be talking about the original sequels, the television series, or Tim Burton’s remake.
