"Tim Roth would be willing to take on the role of General Thade again in a "Planet of the Apes" sequel, if Tim Burton returns to direct. He talked a bit about Tim Burton's recent comments that he was not interested in making a second film.

"If Tim [Burton] wanted to do it I would," Roth said. "He is tired. He may change his mind, but he's had to deal with the press for so long. He went straight from editing to a plane to start talking to press. He's exhausted. If he did want to, I would be interested in doing that, because it would be a great exercise to revisit a character and see what else you could do with him. I've never done that. Just as a challenge, it would be fascinating."
