‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ Returns to Famous Location?
Matt Reeves shared the first image from the set of the now filming War for the Planet of the Apes, the third film in the prequel trilogy that follows both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
The above shot appears to echo the shocking final scene in Franklin J. Schaffner’s 1968 Planet of the Apes in which George Taylor (Charlton Heston) learns that the “planet” of the apes is actually a future Earth that’s been destroyed. In 1968, this shit was revolutionary, with a plot twist so significant that it’s widely considered one of the most memorable in the history of cinema.
It appears that Reeves is taking viewers back to the beach to maybe bridge War and the original Apes when it releases in theaters July 14, 2017.
Steve Zahn recently joined Fox’s War of the Planet of the Apes as one of the new lead apes. Woody Harrelson was cast as “The Colonel”, a man described as the main villain of the film. Gabriel Chavarria stars.
The story will also continue the tale of Caesar, who has been the main character of the new generation of films.
Watch for more as it comes in.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
