I dont know how many movies are going to be in this series, but evidently both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes slot neatly within the existing canon of the Apes movies. Both would fit in the canon prior to Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The anomaly is Caesar, who in the original canon was the child of Cornelius and Zira and came from the future. Cant wait!
This movie is going to be AWESOME!
I have been following the sightings of shoots in San Francisco on the internet, gathering photos and stuff for an article for the blog too.
I am hoping it will be a bit more 'realistic' in the method of conquest. In the originals- it was more like 'battle for the valley of the apes' when they defeated the mutants in the school bus-remember that?
With what we do know now-real world-about just what 'non intelligent (as in movie)' apes can be trained to do, just think of what these accentuated apes may be able to do--fly a helo? drive a tank? definitely use a firearm. Maybe will see Caesar using Apes (and men?) to utilize a defense network (ours) to use drones and missiles? But that may be a bit too optimistic
And I hope it has at least a nominal nod to an actual world wide conquest.
Im really curious about the side story about the astronauts who were lost in space on the way to Mars. In this rebooted canon, the collapse of Humanity happened in only 4 years, and the rise of the apes has taken place in that time as well. A round trip from Mars in only a short span of time like say...10 years (using some sort of time warp thing) would still allow them to pick up the story with the astronauts after the apes have taken over. Perhaps they will make it much longer? I dont know. But the astronauts are a part of this series for sure.
From what I gathered from the first movie, it seemed like much of humanity was going to die out cause of the spread of the virus thing? Or maybe I didn't watch it carefully.I am hoping it will be a bit more 'realistic' in the method of conquest.

Im guessing that they will say that those astronauts went through some sort of time warp, and that they will return to earth in the future. But they will know it is earth this time, I think. They will come home to a completely different earth which (by then) will be ruled by the apes. They could slot maybe two more films in before showing the distant future. They need to show us in this next film how the humans lose the fight. I can see from the trailer that 8 years have passed since the last film. He said 4 years to fight the virus, and another 4 years fighting the war with the apes. Im guessing they will show the nuclear war in this film (I hope). How do the apes survive it? Will it happen?
I am really very excited about this film! Andy Serkis will be doing Caesar again.

The trailer tells us that the virus has wiped out most of humanity, and that the remaining humans have been at war with the apes for 4 years. I want to know how the smart ape population spreads, and how much of the globe has been affected. What happened to the R13 canisters which were being produced in the lab?
No, you are correct.
This movie is going to be good.
Lmao, can you imagine SGU style romance with young apes, ahahahahhaa. lol, I had to look up the names cause they were forgettable:
. But the new movies are an example of how the newer versions can vastly improve on the original IMO.
