"My earliest version of the script featured an ape city, much like New York. It wasn’t carved out rocks with caves o the side of the hill. It was a metropolis. Everything related to anthropoid. The automobiles, the buildings, the elevators, the rooms, the furniture. The script was very long and I think the estimate on the production people was that if they had shot that script it would’ve cost no less than a hundred million dollars- y’know, by the time they created an ape population, clothed it and built a city for them to live in."
