	Rick Baker - Planet
		Baker did not become reinvolved until Tim Burton signed to direct in March 2000. While Baker carried over his methodologies for realizing the apes from earlier efforts, there was a time when the various creatures’ visages remained up in the air.
		Baker had always been troubled by the lack of differentiation among background apes in the original film.“It looked like there was really only one design sculpted and used for all chimps, with a second design for orangutans and a third for the gorillas,” reports Baker, “and these were reused throughout.
		Baker discovered that some of his early design efforts were no longer applicable as a result of late casting choices.

		He tapped Hollywood's own Lord of the Apes, makeup effects master and primate specialist Rick Baker, in the running for the job ever since Oliver Stone was once attached to the project.

		Baker did it not by reinventing the primate, but by taking a more evolved approach, including the use of false teeth.

		Baker says "I want something that I can look at in person and think it's real, I make stuff for my own eye." As some of the materials used for the prosthetic makeup disintegrate, none of the molds from the first "Nutty" could be reused.
		Baker however stuck around the first few times in order to make sure everything was copacetic.
		Baker says, "When I was in Famous Monsters as `Rick Baker, Monster Maker,' I'd made it, that was the most famous I ever felt." Baker began making homemade prosthetics in his early teens by baking them in the family oven.

		Instead Baker won in a landslide and now emerges as a political star whose winning formula could be studied by Republicans anywhere.
		Going on and on about how Baker won hands down when the majority of residents didn't even vote is a bit silly really.
		If anyone is suppose to take notice of "what works" in Baker's "landslide" I guess it is to make certain turnout is low by not generating too much interest in the race and by all means cry foul anytime your opponent points out your party affiliation.

		Much to his otherwise supportive parents' dismay, however, at the ripe old age of 10, their son grew far less interested in healing the sick than in inventing ways to frighten the neighborhood moms out of their wits.
		Baker remembers his first discussions with Sonnenfeld pretty much the same way, and the frustration of having to create aliens by committee.

		So God would talk, and Rick would offer himself to God, but not as a supplicant, necessarily, for - truth be told - God probably tends to lose track of time (being so wrapped up in Himself), and Rick might begin to find certain repetitive points of His a bit tedious.
		So God would go on speaking And although, of course - being God and all - He would in fact be doing nothing but listening to Himself, it wouldnt matter: for Him, the effect would be the same.
		And maybe Rick is one of the few who would accept the charges
