RISE OF THE APES

TITLE:
RISE OF THE APES
GENRE:
SCIENCE-FICTION 
DIRECTED BY:
RUPERT WYATT 
STARRING:
JAMES FRANCO 
RELEASE DATE:
NOV 23, 2011 WED



PLOT:
“Set in present day San Francisco, the film will follow a scientist (James Franco) working on a cure for Alzheimer’s and his test ape, Caesar. The experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.”
This time around they won’t hire costumed actors to play the monkeys: the plan is to use CGI. That’s why Fox is partnering with Peter Jackson’s WETA, they intend to use the same technologies created for Avatar. So we may expect a quite realistic movie.

 SCREEN SHOTS:

Interesting to see the behind the scenes of this film: they’re using motion capture and CG to translate Andy Serkis’ performance into the monkey Ceasar on screen. I’m surprised they aren’t using a green screen and aren’t filming indoor in a studio, I didn’t know motion capture was possible outdoor. The wheels of progress never stop turning!





















Mankind’s supremacy on Earth will be challenged once again: there’s indeed a new prequel to the Planet of the Apes ahead of us. The film, titled Rise of the Apes, is directed by Rupert Wyatt and is starring James Franco as a scientist.
