Twentieth Century Fox has turned a corner that I didn’t see coming, and has since become extremely consistent in making quality films.
In addition to X-Men: First Class, Fox kicked 2011’s ass with Rupert Wyatt’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, their prequel to the Planet of the Apes franchise. Even Matt Reeves’ Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was an extremely fun experience that set everything up for the “big one.”
In 2017, Reeves will be taking us to battle with Caesar in War of the Planet of the Apes, which could see the trailer premiere this coming Sunday during an episode of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Reeves teased the Sunday surprise in a tweet that also shared the film’s logo. It’s a bit early for a trailer, no? I guess maybe we’ll at least get to see a teaser.
Andy Serkis returns as Casear, with Judy Greer as Caesar’s wife, with Woody Harrelson and Steve Zahn added to the growing battle.
War of the Planet of the Apes is slated for release on July 14, 2017.
