I liked the link Vivek posted up-top. The clock was just off. :lol
Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer

- Start date
Well you know how hard it is to get clocks to match up exactly when you're setting them. Which makes you wonder exactly what happened that caused the clocks to be off. It had to be planned in writing the stories.
Not missing much on Conquest, but do indeed get the blu-ray set, POTA never looked so good!
I'll throw a monkey wrench (excuse the pun) into this...
How about at the end of POTA...it was not what we originally thought.
What if...just if...the Statue of Liberty took a spaceship as well and crash landed on the planet.
Yeah...didn't think of that, did you?
Chew on that for awhile!!

The sequels were released consequently every single year. Production was probably rushed and they decided screw the timelines.
The truth of the matter is the success of the first film caught them off guard and the Studio demanded more, spending less each film as they grossed less.
They go into this in the documentary in the box set.

What if the Statue of Liberty itself was a spaceship?
For that matter, how did three chimpanzees, from a society that didn't even have automobiles, recover, repair, refuel, launch, pilot, and navigate Taylor's spacecraft back in time to 1971?
Laffo is absolutely right. 20th Century Fox wanted the sequels but didn't want to pay for them; Conquest and Battle were each made for roughly 1/3rd the budget of the first film.

Drew Gaska has written a book called Conspiracy on the Planet of the Apes I'm reading now that answers that. Basically, Landon did it. :lol
My only real disappointment is that Roddy McDowell isn't alive in case they wanted Caesar to speak at the end, it would have been a great cameo. I'm looking forward to this and the sequels if they keep it up. The more I see the commercials the less the CGI bothers me, like i said before i think part of what had people confused was the look of Caesar.

Well, I'm only a third of the way through it, but it's highly enjoyable to folks like us. Mike Davis would love it, as it makes an attempt to fill in plot holes and explain discrepancies by telling the story of what happens to Landon between the cornfield and his lobotomy.
So far, the middle gorilla from the photograph scene from the cornfield chase is a main character, the mutants from Beneath are controlling Landon from afar, and poor doomed Jonesey from the TV show has made an appearance. Doctor Milo from Escape is shown at the busted archaelogy dig Zira and Cornelius refer to in the first film, and Doctor Zaius is... well, just being Doctor Zaius.
And that's all in the first 109 pages. And Drew's already working on a followup, which I'd pay for now if it'd help him finish. :lol
Here's a cool interview with him:
