The CGI in the ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ Trailer is Jaw-dropping!
Twentieth Century Fox’ s final trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes is blowing my mind. While the CGI work was already astounding in the two previous prequels, I’ve had to do multiple double-takes in watching the new footage. If Jurassic Park set the bar, War for the Planet of the Apes is leaping bounds above it. Outside of Disney’s live-action Jungle Book, this is hands down the most believable CGI I’ve ever witnessed. Speaking of, Weta Digital’s Dan Lemmon won an Oscar for his work on Jungle Book. No coincidence here, right?!
Andy Serkis returns as Caesar, with Judy Greer as Caesar’s wife, with Woody Harrelson and Steve Zahn added to the growing battle.
In the film, 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.
War of the Planet of the Apes ends mankind on July 14, 2017.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
