Fox moves ahead with Big Budget Tentpoles

Fox has decided to move ahead with a "Planet of the Apes" sequel as well as a follow up to "X-Men First Class" - Simon Kinberg has been hired to scribe the X Follow up and signed Andy Serkis for another placement in the Apes timeline. So we can probably suspect that the MBA's in charge at Fox are recognizing smart rebooted projects as holding pots of gold for a green decade.
