"It was Rick’s idea and he had been cutting out magazine articles about Chimps being raised in homes and how it's sort of an inappropriate place to raise them and how eventually when the chimps become teenagers they get aggressive and end up being put in these horrible shelters. And he thought there’s a great movie in there like a thriller, some sort of movie in there. And then he realized, like a light bulb went off. He said, 'Oh my God this is a great way to reboot Planet of the Apes.' And so we went to FOX and pitched the idea to them. And to our delight and shock, they weren’t already developing a movie to reboot the franchise so they hired us and we wrote it. That’s how it started."
