New ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ posters focuses on Caesar and apes up close
20th Century Fox released four new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes poster featuring Caesar and his partners up close.
The new film will be set a decade after the events of the first outing, with the Simian Flu outbreak having decimated the world’s human population.
Director Matt Reeves has explained the direction of the film, with Caesar speaking at the end of the first film.
“I wanted to make sure we’re continuing to go along the path of evolution without missing it, it was so delicious to watch in the first movie.”
“The ape civilization is in the woods, between Vancouver and New Orleans, the world after what happens with the simian virus flu. The two main locales are San Francisco and the Muir Woods where the ape civilization is born.”
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is scheduled to be released on July 11, 2014, and stars Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Gary Oldman, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Kirk Acevedo, Toby Kebbell, Enrique Murciano, and Judy Greer.
Here’s the official synopsis for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
