On July 14th, War for the Planet of the Apes, which our own Heather Wixson called "a striking and satisfying finale to one of the best trilogies ever made" in her five-star review, will come out in theaters, and to give fans another inside look at the movie's dazzling visual effects, 20th Century Fox revealed a new video showing Andy Serkis' seamless transformation into Caesar.
"Caesar and his band of Simian brothers discover an unknown, newly evolved ape named "Bad Ape" (Steve Zahn) – an escapee from a zoo. For the first time in the trilogy, Caesar and his apes discover a new ape outside of their tribe, marking a critical moment in the war between Humans and Apes.
In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet."
Directed by Matt Reeves from a screenplay he wrote with Mark Bomback, War for the Planet of the Apes stars Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller, and Terry Notary. 20th Century Fox will release the sequel in theaters on July 14th, 2017.
