Well, what a u turn this movie is making. When it was first officially announced, with constant release date shuffling, things didn’t seem too promising. Did anyone want a prequel? Was it enough to make a decent movie? Well, after two impressive trailers there’s now a 60-second ad that shows that this movie could be one of the big surprises of the year.
For the first time we see more of the relationship between the smart-ape Caesar, James Franco and John Lithgow, which looks more affecting and emotional than anything we’ve seen before. We also get more of a hint as to how things started to go wrong. Really looks like this will be more than just an excuse for some monkey action scenes! Lithgow is a terrific actor and Andy Serkis is always spectacular so I can’t wait to see them together.
The movie opens in August.
