Andy Serkis Discusses Multiple PLANET OF THE APES Films
Allegedly the upcoming untitled Planet of the Apes film is supposed to be the last one in the current run. But in an interview with MTV, actor Andy Serkis, who plays Caesar in the movies, says it’s too early to tell. He then proceeds to tease that we could possibly see up to five more films in the franchise.
"It's very, very early in where we choose to drop anchor in the next film. It could be five years after the event, it could be the night after the events of where we left 'Dawn,' so it's very difficult to know where the story is going right at this moment because it's being written as we speak. I know that part of the desire for Matt [Reeves] to do this next movie is about continuing the enjoyment of seeing these apes evolve. So I don't think we're going to see a situation where we're jumping….It might be three films, It could be four. It could be five. Who knows? But the journey will continue. It might not necessarily be summarized or completely fulfilled in this next one. The point being, eventually we know that we're going to end up back at 'The Planet of the Apes,' but whether it's this film or not, I don't know."
As long as 20th Century Fox is raking in the bucks for these movie, I think they’ll continue to pump them out whether director Matt Reeves wants to or not. I don’t care how many movies they make, as long as they keep making them as awesome as they have been.
