Apes Trilogy Talk

Even as director Rupert Wyatt has own ideas of where a "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" sequel might take the franchise go, screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver told EW that they have plans for what happens next as well.

Silver says "We definitely have ideas for where the sequel — plural, where the sequels — would take us, and those were kind of built into [the narrative]... When we started this, we knew that this movie would stand on its own, and we designed it that way. But if it didn’t stand on its own, we pictured a trilogy that would start with this movie."

Jaffa adds "There hasn’t been an official discussion yet about a sequel, because I think everyone still doesn’t want to jinx where we are. But we definitely have ideas."

The film was #1 at the cineplex for 2 weeks in a row a rare thing today...A sequel WILL happen--Just a matter of when.
