Genesis: Apes- Conquest re deux?

CHUD is discussing a possible remake / twist to Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

Remember, this is the one where Caesar is the first ape to speak when he says "No".

Great movie.

In this remake, however, word is that there is a major twist to the "Genesis" of talking apes. In the original, recall that Caesar got transported into 1991 through a twist in the space-time continuum. Supposedly, in the remake, Caesar is the result of genetic testing.

Now, I don't know about you but I think this twist may be a fatal flaw in the story. It was just so cool seeing Caesar move through time. Simply having him made in a lab seems.....disappointing.

What do you think?

Get Planet of the Apes Here!
