We wanted to complete this conflict in this particular trilogy, but we’ve got a world of stories left to tell, if the public is gracious enough to ask us to do so.5 Things We Learned About War for the Planet of the Apes We have a whole universe of ape stories that we would like to still be telling. “Look, obviously we are somewhat dependent upon the box office gods. And it is a remarkable testament to Andy’s acting.”Įven though War for the Planet of the Apes will bring this particular story - the one started six years ago in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and continued in 2014 with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - to a conclusion, Chernin revealed that the Apes saga can go on beyond this set of films.
The Caesar you see at the beginning of this movie is not the Caesar you see at the end of this movie or during the journey he goes through. “Andy’s performance in this movie is, I think, one of the most moving, epic, emotionally filled performances I’ve seen in quite some time. “But the thing that I think is really going to blow people away even more is Andy’s performance,” added Chernin. So I think people are going to be blown away by the effects. “I was looking at that little clip we put out (Monday morning), and even in there, the leap in special effects from Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which is six years ago, the level of special effects in this movie are extraordinary, and make the Rise special effects look much more - they were amazing special effects, but we’ve made huge progress.

And the appropriate ending of that story is to see which species dominates.” We’ve always looked at this as a three-part story. And this movie is the war to resolve that dominance.
Regarding the message that the filmmakers hope to send out with this trailer, Chernin said, “We made a very conscious decision frankly, when we started thinking about this seven or eight years ago, to look at these three movies as a trilogy in a lot of ways…It was inevitable from the moment apes gained intelligence that apes and humans were going to be on a collision course for what would be the dominant species on Earth. Matt Reeves directs Serkis, Harrelson, Steve Zahn and the rest of his human and ape cast in the direct follow-up to his 2014 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. But the apes’ path is blocked by a fanatical colonel (Woody Harrelson) who is leading an army of his own and is prepared to take on the apes in a battle that will determine which species will dominate the planet. War for the Planet of the Apes follows the intelligent ape leader Caesar (Andy Serkis) as he leads his people on a grim quest for survival on an Earth ravaged by the fall of human society.
A new trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes is now online and in conjunction with its arrival, Den of Geek spoke with the film’s producer, Peter Chernin, about the explosive trailer, the movie itself, and what is shaping up to clearly be the ending to one of the best film trilogies of recent years.
