“This is now a community of about 2,000 apes. For the first eight years [after the humanity-devastating virus], the apes were looking down from Muir Woods to San Francisco and could see lights and fires, but now it’s gone very quiet. Until this day in our film when this small band of humans comes up. That’s suddenly a huge, dividing moment in the lives of these apes. There are some particularly strong reactions to the humans and that’s the course of the story.”
And so goes the synopsis for the next Apes movie. Andy Serkis has been speaking to Empire, who have also provided some new behind the scenes images of Serkis and co looking rather impressive in motion capture suits.
The apes go ape shit on July 11th USA / July 17th IRELAND & UK
