00:00As far as the continuity goes, I mean, another thing that I love kind of the looping nature of

00:04the Apes franchise is obviously Escape kind of took everything back. In your mind, is every

00:10single movie canon or...? Yeah. Look, truthfully for me, what was on my plate when we were thinking

00:17about this thing was the previous three movies, the trilogy of the Caesar trilogy and the 68

00:22original. Those were in my sights, really. Everything else is, which I think is what's

00:28interesting about this franchise, it's always been kind of loosely connected. It's never been

00:33so rigid that, unlike other franchises, that if you change one little thing, what? You could kind

00:38of reinvent. You could have some freedom to play a little bit. It's loose. So as long as I feel

00:45like we stuck to those pillars, I feel like we were in good shape. We belong to the franchise

00:52in a way. And you see lots of echoes throughout the movie. You kind of see some beneath in there.

00:55You kind of see some conquest in there. But yeah, that's how it goes. But also,

01:00it depends on how you think about time travel movies anyway, because the fact they went back

01:04and maybe we haven't gotten to that point yet. I was literally going to say, maybe all these are

01:07the prequels to the original. That's something for other people to go and debate on, which is great.

01:10They can go out in the parking lot and debate all this stuff. Love it.
