Go Ape


In the world where apes rule over men, the biggest news this past weekend was the first officially released photo from the set, featuring Andy Serkis in his motion capture gear riding a horse. A month ago there were a bunch of set photos that got passed around the web, but this one's getting the most buzz. According to some, it signifies a tying into the original films, a good sign for fans of the classic '60s film series.

Besides this, a casting list and general plot outline was released by Fox. It looks like the film is a promising one:

“A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier.  They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

Andy Serkis, celebrated for his performance in the last film, reprises his role as Caesar. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes also stars Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, EnriqueMurciano, Kirk Acevedo and Judy Greer.”
