Wes Ball (Maze Runner film trilogy) is taking over directing duties.

Cool. 👆

Awesome. I've a huge Planet of the Apes fan going back to the original film, the last three films were great imo.

Looking forward to another reboot or continuation. Though prefer a reboot at this point. Owen Teague's a decent actor and looks kinda chimpish as is, so that'll help.

Without Reeves, my hype is a lot lower. Especially with Wes Ball directing. Meh.

Robtard Senor Member

I'm okay with someone else having a shot with a reboot. While Ball does not have a lot under his belt, he may utterly surprise us.

the last reboot was okay, but can't we just have the original story retold? 3 humans stranded in the future, run by apes who hate them. it can still be done without having to repeat that first reboot, that homage-turned-parody hollywood abortion party that all-but screamed at the audience "thanks for your money, stupid gullible assh0le. see you again next time when you fall for this shit again"

Is this another reboot, or are they continuing the Reeves trilogy?

I'd be surprised if he didn't stay on at least as a producer. Did they mention who is writing yet? I also suspect he might get involved with writing...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes actually turned into one of my all time favorite films. It's amazing, and a part of a great Trilogy.

^^^Yeah I really enjoyed it.
Andy Serkis was the glue that held all 3 movies together, and James Franco, Jason Clarke, and Woody Harrelson all put in strong performances movie by movie.

^^^THAT is what I’d like to see.
The last reboot was smart to go in a different direction to differentiate itself from the meh 2001 movie (which on paper looked okay given the actors involved), but I think enough time has passed to do something closer to the 1968 version.

Some films should not be remade, Ever! The original planet of the apes is one.

What's your favorite planet of the Apes quote?

The damn dirty apes line is more fun, but I remember the reveal blew my mind as a kid. Charlton Heston nailed that shit!

^^^I’m down w. the hotness. 👆

Between the pic in the article and this (not too spoilery) synopsis…

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes starts an all-new chapter in the Apes saga, picking up many years after the conclusion of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes.

…I’m officially looking forward to this a lot more now.

Also Bortus from The Orville will be in the movie, Going by that info.

Darth Thor Senior Member

Yeah glad they are continuing in the same timeline. Not a total reboot like the Tim Burton one.
