Hollywood loves a good franchise. The movie-going public does too. Horror, action, comedy, sci-fi, western, no genre is safe. And any film, no matter how seemingly stand-alone, conclusive, or inappropriate to sequel, could generate an expansive franchise. They are legion. We are surrounded.

Phil, since your in here, I gotta derail and say, I watched BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES and it is a real piece of crap. The worst kind of sequel; a bald-faced retread and cash-grab. Indefensible. Burton's remake is better.

 

Love that new Apes movie though.

It's not a great movie but it's got an ambition you never again see in the series, and my hat was off to how off the rails it went.
