The final trailer for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is here. Be warned though--this time the footage is SPOILER-filled.
"Dawn" will continue the action from Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
The film is set a decade after Rise's post-credits sequence where the
global human population has been substantially reduced due to the
Simian Flu. Meanwhile, Caesar and his fellow ape sanctuary escapees
have spent the past decade expanding to a community of about 2,000 apes
on the outskirts of San Francisco. The enhanced find themselves
threatened by a band of human survivors. A fragile peace proves
short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war.
"Rise" helmer Rupert Wyatt
chose not to return reportedly due to the fact that the director
wasn't comfortable with making the May 23rd 2014 release date the
studio had originally announced. "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves takes over.
Rise star James Franco does not return instead--Zero Dark Thirty actor Jason Clarke Keri Russell Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman Judy Greer and Kodi Smit-McPhee star.
Mark Bomback ("Live Free or Die Hard," "Unstoppable") is set to rework Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa's
script. Bombeck is expected to turn in something more suited to the new
director's style. This is Deja Vu On 'Rise' Silver & Jaffa wrote
the initial script and then Bomback did an uncredited script rewrite.
"Contagion" scribe Scott Z. Burns took a crack at the "Dawn" script as well
Peter Chernin Dylan Clark Silver and Jaffa will produce.
The film is now targeting a July 11th 2014 release.
