Film Producer Arthur Jacobs Bids Farewell to Apes Series
Arthur P. Jacobs, producer of the Planet of the Apes films, says goodbye with relief and regret. He notes the five movies required increasing ingenuity and became his biggest successes, while acknowledging he plans other projects and hopes the apes films will endure in re releases and a potential TV series. Jacobs cites the profits of each film, and why the apes concept remains popular as adventure fantasy and social satire.
