Check out the first full trailer for Rupert Wyatt’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, a film that looks decent, if a big too “drama-y” for a sci-fi event film. It’s certainly big on the apes rising part, though the James Franco and Freida Pinto as humans part might be a tad underwhelming. Rising August 5, 2011.
An origin story in the true sense of the word, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is set in present day San Francisco. The film is a reality-based cautionary tale — a science fiction/science-fact blend where mankind’s hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Oscar(R)-winning visual effects house WETA Digital – employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for “Avatar” – will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.
Starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, and Andy Serkis as the ape.
Ape-y enough for ya?
