No Apes sequel for Burton

by on Aug.17, 2001, under Movies

According to an interview in the British newspaper Independent (and captured through Sci Fi Wire), Burton would rather “…jump out a window, I swear to God,” than make a sequel to the monkey-money Planet of the Apes. Seems he isn’t keen on the studio managment system…
