Planet of the Apes Sequel Project in the Works?

CHUD is reporting that a prequel to Planet of the Apes is close to a "go" over at Fox Studios. The project, which would be a virtual remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes titled Genesis: Apes(>snicker) was thought to be dead until the past week when Fox's studio head reported that the script was close to complete.

My question is: Who really cares about dem damn dirty apes?? Didn't the Mark Wahlberg movie prove that the concept is dated and not all that rife with potential anymore? And what kind of name is Genesis: Apes? Sounds like a chapter in my science book, or a documentary on the Discovery Channel, or an insult to Phil Collins fans worldwide, not a title for a feature film.
