‘Cloverfield’s’ Matt Reeves To Direct ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’!

If Rise of the Planet of the Apes wasn’t sweet enough, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes just kicked it up a notch.

Cloverfield and Let Me In helmer Matt Reeves has (correctly) been set to direct Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, the 20th Century Fox sequel to Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, reports Deadline. Reeves was atop the list to replace Rupert Wyatt, and the other names I’d heard were in contention were The Disappearance Of Alice Creed helmer J Blakeson, 28 Weeks Later helmer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, Take Shelter director Jeff Nichols, Pacific Rim helmer Guillermo del Toro, The Impossible helmer Juan Antonio Bayona and Looper helmer Rian Johnson.

Fox production president Emma Watts was in a spot when Wyatt exited (which Deadline revealed September 17), but they’ve gotten a good director here in Reeves, who last helmed the remake Let Me In. Reeves was also attached to helm The Twilight Zone movie at Warner Bros, as well as This Dark Endeavor, with Mean Creek writer/helmer Jacob Aaron Estes writing the script for Summit Entertainment. The studio fully expects to stay on track and make the May 23, 2014 release date that Fox announced in May.

Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver already turned in a script that is much liked by the studio and the film’s producer, Chernin Entertainment. It’s a natural extension of the first film, which grossed $483 million worldwide and seamlessly set up the apocalyptic sequel plotline.

Matt Reeves Tops A Stupid Long List Of Potential ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Directors

Earlier today Cloverfield and Let Me In director Matt Reeves exited Warner Bros.’ The Twilight Zone project. Now we may know why…

20th Century Fox has come up with a short list to replace Rupert Wyatt as the director of Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Deadline reports that Reeves is atop the list, along with The Disappearance Of Alice Creed helmer J Blakeson, 28 Weeks LaterJuan Carlos Fresnadillo, Crazy Heart and Mud director Jeff Nichols, Pacific Rim helmer Guillermo del Toro, The Impossible helmer Juan Antonio Bayona and Looper helmer Rian Johnson.

Those directors will be meeting with Fox production president Emma Watts to fill the plum post that Wyatt exited. Wyatt is said to have been uncomfortable about making the May 23, 2014 release date that the studio announced in May.

‘Contagion’ Writer Scott Burns Tackling Sequel To ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’

ROTPOTA2 Header 51512 Contagion Writer Scott Burns Tackling Sequel To Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

Scott Z. Burns (Contagion, The Informant) is set to start monkeying around with the script for Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes 2 any day now. An initial draft was written by the writers of last year’s film, Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa. I actually think this is a great choice. Burns is a great writer who not only knows his diseases (something pointed out in the THR article), but can juggle multiple and complex storylines.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, “Scott Z. Burns has been tapped to work on Fox’s sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Chernin Entertainment is producing.

The new film, “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.

Director Rupert Wyatt and mo-cap superstar Andy Serkis were previously announced to return.
