I’m quite enthusiastic about the director Wes Ball’S Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie. I saw some extensive footage at CinemaCon and it looks like it will deliver an exciting cinematic adventure.
This film will not be like the previous films that have been made. This film has a different tone and is set centuries later War for the Planet of the Apes. The world has completely changed in this new film.
The producers of the new film, Rick Jaffa AND Amanda Silvertalked about the film and compared it to Avatars AND Dune.
Explaining how, Jaffa told SFX magazine: “Well, the world has changed. Thematically it asks different questions and the characters are different.”
He continued: “I would also say the same thing you could say forrAvatar OR Dune: It’s visually stunning. There’s nothing like it, really. That experience, in the theater, of a whole new world. Yes, it’s our world, but our world seems different.”
Silver added, “It’s a beautiful movie, anchored by wonderful characters that you really care about. Yes, you have this epic landscape, but none of that works unless it’s anchored by great characters and a compelling story.”
He continued, “The Next Adventure offers brand new things, fresh surprises, while still being familiar and honoring the past.”
The film has previously been compared to films such as Star Wars AND The Lord of the Ringsparticularly regarding the main character Noa, who Luke Skywalker and Frodo Baggins like.
The director explained how it happened this way: “Noa fits that archetype. She’s a new character that we can identify with, like and respect because she’s incredibly kind and likable.
“But he’s going to go through this big transformation, or at least the beginning of one in this movie, where that innocence is kind of robbed from him.”
He also said, “When I started working on it, I said, ‘I feel like Apes needs a little bit of Star Wars.’ It’s all still very grounded in reality, but it’s essentially a quest narrative.”
Ball continues: “Our main character – young and impressionable Noa – meets characters along the way and awakens when she finds herself in a place that will challenge her, and ultimately become her true self. We didn’t make fun of it, or Disneyfied it, if I may say so! But we brought a younger spirit.”
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 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.
The film will be released in theaters on May 24, 2024.
