Ok, so I am a freak. I love Planet of the Apes and pretty much anything that has to do with it. I am not sure why but as a kid watching the old films with Charlton Heston just did it for me. Like many, I am not a fan of the Tum Burton directed film but am going "ape sh*t" about this new film. You can read more news about this film on one of my previous posts here. The big news today is that Weta Digital Effects company released a 5 second teaser of what I am presuming is Caesar the ape played by "Gollum" Andy Serkis. Andy has a lot on his plate. It was announced earlier that he will be the second unit director on The Hobbit films with Peter Jackson along with reprising Gollum for the films. Keep in mind that the ape is not real and is computer generated. That is freaking crazy!
In other Planet of the Apes news there will be a new comic coming out. The official synopsis reads: Taking place before the original 1968 PLANET OF THE APES movie, but true to the continuity of the first five films, this new ongoing comic series begins in a time when Ape society reaches a new golden age. But there are ripples of dissent in both the ape and human ranks. Tensions will rise and soon all will be caught in chaos! And amidst all this uncertainty, what is the fate of…The Lawgiver? Find out as a new chapter of the acclaimed sci-fi classic, PLANET OF THE APES, begins this April!
