Mark Wahlberg: 'Planet of the Apes script wasn't good'

Mark Wahlberg has confessed that the 2001 film Planet of the Apes "wasn't good".

The Contraband actor reflected on the film's failure in comparison to 2011's remake Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which became a box office hit.

"I haven't seen [Rise of the Planet of the Apes] yet, but I heard it was pretty damn good. Well, ours wasn't. It is what it is. Ours wasn't," Wahlberg told MTV News.

"They didn't have the script right. They had a release date before he had shot a foot of film. They were pushing him and pushing him in the wrong direction. You have got to let [director] Tim [Burton] do his thing."

However, Wahlberg insisted that he had a great time working with Burton on Planet of the Apes as he always knew how to have a good time both on and off set.

"I have no better time on any movie than I had working with Tim. I had the most amazing time with Tim. I run to be on the set with him. We were doing reshoots, and he came out with me to Paris," Wahlberg recalled.

"We're in the club. Tim was in the club, man. Tim was in the club. Then he'd be drawing people, and all of his caricatures looked the same. He'd be drawing people in the club."
