MGM has released a brand new trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes during the Super Bowl, and it looks like it will take audiences and fans on a thrilling adventure! If the first trailer didn’t get you excited to see this movie, maybe this new one will! This film will begin a completely new chapter in the series Planet of the Apes saga, picking up hundreds of years after the conclusion of War for the Planet of the Apes. I have high hopes for this one!
The film is set “several generations into the future following Caesar’s reign, where apes are the dominant species and live in harmony and humans are reduced to living in the shadows. As a tyrannical new ape leader builds his empire, a young ape embarks on a harrowing journey that will lead him to question everything he knows about the past and make choices that will define a future for both apes and humans.
The film comes from the director Wes Ball (The maze runner) and the cast includes Owen Teague (It), Freya Allen (The witcher), AND Peter Macon (The Orville). The film’s screenplay comes from Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Rick Jaffa AND Amanda Silver (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), AND Patrick Aison (Prey). She is also a co-star Travis Jeffrey (Uninterrupted), Neil Sandilands (Sweetness), Sara Wisemann (One of us is lying), Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi (The clearing), Lydia Peckham (Cowboy bebop), AND Kevin Durand.
During a previous interview with the director, he talked about the adventure aspect of the film and how he wished his film had a little bit of Star Wars and a younger spirit. He explained: “When I started working on it, I said, ‘I feel like Apes needs a little bit of Star Wars.’ It’s all still very much grounded in reality, but it’s essentially a quest narrative. Our main character is the young and impressionable Noa [Owen Teague] – meets characters along the way and awakens when he finds himself in a place that will test him, and ultimately becomes his true self. We didn’t make fun of it, or Disneyfied it, if I may say so! But we brought a younger spirit.”
Speaking about the film’s setting, Ball said: “I wanted to take a big leap forward in time. It’s quite telling that Caesar is still a spirit in the film, but most of his living relatives are not in this picture. If the last three films were about the Stone Age, here we can see what happens when they enter the Bronze Age.”
The film will be released in theaters on May 24, 2024.
