[Release Date Shifts] ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,’ ‘Robopocalypse’ & ‘ID4: 3D’
We’ve got a few release date announcements that starts with Twentieth Century Fox’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel that will infect theaters come May 23, 2014. Director Rupert Wyatt returns as does star Andy Serkis as the ape “Caesar”. Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa, Scott Burns penned the screenplay that “Continues the story set forth in last year’s critical and commercial hit movie featuring simians that are given human intelligence and subsequently break out of their facility. At the same time, a virus breaks out that causes the collapse of human society. The new project is taking the story to the next level, with the apes on the path to emerge as society’s new rulers.”
Not horror, and the only time we’ll report this, Fox will be reaching into moron’s wallets and plucking $15 to watch a post-converted 3-D version of Roland Emmerich’s 1996 sumer epic Independence Day, which starred Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum. It opens July 3, 2013. We hope this single mention will help save you a handful of cash. “The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy. Fighting superior technology, Man’s best weapon is the will to survive.”
Laslty, Buena Vista revealed that Stephen Spielberg’s Robopocalypse, penned by Drew Goddard, will not blast into theaters April 25, 2014, almost a year later than originally planned. Based on the novel of the same name by Daniel H. Wilson, the plot explores the fate of the human race following a robot uprising.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
