We’ve just been sent a brand new featurette taking us inside the story of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, with director Rupert Wyatt explaining exactly why chimpanzee Caesar might be a bit pissed off with humanity when he’s given a drug that causes him to become far more intelligent, and the leader of a revolt against humankind. Click below to take a look.
Here’s the official synopsis of this reboot/prequel to the Planet Of The Apes franchise: ‘RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is a reality-based cautionary tale that blends science fiction and science fact, which depicts how mankinds hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Oscar®-winning visual effects house WETA Digital employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for Avatar will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.’
The film, starring James Franco, hits cinemas August 12th.
