New ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ Trailer and Poster Begin the Epic Battle
For freedom. For family. For the planet.
Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel in director Matt Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the reboot franchise that began back in 2011. As promised, 20th Century Fox just dropped the brand spankin’ new trailer today, and it promises another epic adventure with stunning visual effects.
It also promises a truly awesome fight sequence between Woody Harrelson and an ape, which should be enough to sell a bunch of tickets in and of itself. Mine is already bought!
Check out the new trailer below.
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.
The cast includes Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Amiah Miller, Karin Konoval, Judy Greer and Terry Notary.
War for the Planet of the Apes begins on July 14, 2017.
From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
