New RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Trailer

Watch the new trailer for director Rupert Wyatt’s RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, David Oyelowo and Andy Serkis as Caesar.

If you’ve never seen it, be sure to check out the original CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES – the fourth installment of one of the best franchises in film history. For those of us who saw it in theaters in (gulp) 1972, the ultimate conclusion of both movies is the same – eventual world domination by the apes. Good times!

A single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other — and to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. The Oscar-winning visual effects team that brought to life the worlds of Avatar and Lord of the Rings is breaking new ground, creating a CGI ape that delivers a dramatic performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence, and epic battles on which rest the upended destinies of man and primate.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES opens in theaters everywhere August 5, 2011.
