Planet of the Apes is back in theaters this weekend for the first time since Tim Burton made a monkey out of Lincoln back in 2001, with the prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The movie tells the story of how the ape run world depicted in the 1968 Charlton Heston movie came about, and as it happens, it’s all James Franco’s fault.
