No Mercy, No Shame, No Sequel

TV Guide OnLine--Frustrations with studio politics have led filmmaker Tim Burton to declare that he won't be making a sequel to his summer blockbuster Planet of the Apes. "The idea of doing a sequel - I'd rather jump out of the window, I swear to God," the offbeat director told Britain's Independent newspaper. "I'm fascinated by the studio technique that sort of leaves you bloodied, beaten and left for dead right before you're supposed to go out and make a great movie for them."
