KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Gets a New Clip and Featurette as Tickets Go on Sale
We’ve got a new clip and behind-the-scenes featurette to share with you for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as tickets for the the film go up for sale.
This is an action-adventure spectacle that I've been looking forward to seeing, and it looks like director Wes Ball is going to tell solid and thrilling story.
Ball talks about the film he made in the featurette, who says he wanted to give “audiences an experience that is expressive and real, that going to take us into a world that we’ve never seen before.”
The clip that was shared features two of the main ape character interacting with a human and in the process, they give her the name of Nova.
The movie is set “several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows.
“As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
The movie’s cast includes Owen Teague (It), Freya Allen (The Witcher), and Peter Macon (The Orville). The script for the film comes from Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), and Patrick Aison (Prey).
It also co-stars Travis Jeffery (Unbroken), Neil Sandilands (Sweet Tooth), Sara Wiseman (One Of Us Is Lying), Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi (The Clearing), Lydia Peckham (Cowboy Bebop), and Kevin Durand.
When talking about the setting for the film, Ball shared: “I wanted to do a big leap forward in time. It’s significant enough that Caesar is still a spirit in the movie, but most of his living relatives are not in this picture. If the last three movies were the Stone Age, here we get to see what happens when they enter the Bronze Age.”
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set to be released in theaters on May 24, 2024.
