Andy Serkis Intros Three New RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Clips & New Stills

By  | 

Watch the latest clips from 20th Century Fox’s upcoming RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. In another inventive villainous turn, Tom Felton’s DODGE (just one of many nods to the classic 1968 PLANET OF THE APES) has a run in with Caesar.

With only two weeks left until the film bows, watch as Caesar is left in the hands of Brian Cox’s LANDON, to live among other apes within the confines of the San Bruno Primate Sanctuary. But unknown to Will, the “sanctuary” is more like a shoddily run prison – a dumping ground for unwanted or abandoned apes

Because he’s not the physically strongest ape in the facility, Caesar quickly realizes that in order to survive he must assert his intellectual dominance over the fearsome alpha-male ape Rocket, a beastly brooding angry gorilla named Buck, and a psychologically damaged orangutan named Maurice. Caesar soon prevails over the other apes, and establishes a new social order. At a pivotal and electric moment, Caesar stands up and retaliates against their cruel human handlers. At the Comic Con panel, Andy Serkis remarked on his role of Caesar, “I’m kinda like the Che Guevera of apes.”

Says Producer Dylan Clark: “We built the structure of our movie around that scene,” the specifics of which the filmmakers wish to keep a surprise. “It will be powerful and emotional.” Adds  Director Rupert Wyatt: “We wanted it be a ‘world-stops-spinning’ moment that plays into the whole idea of evolution and where that can take a species.” That defining instant leads to a daring escape, an epic confrontation at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, a wrenching and fateful reunion between Will and Caesar – and a revolution that will forever change the planet.

Synopsis:

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES combines fantastic storytelling with the next leap in Visual Effects for an emotional and action-packed motion picture experience unlike any other. Man’s arrogance sets off a chain of events that leads to intelligence in apes and a challenge to our place as the dominant species on the planet. In Caesar, WETA – the Oscar-winning visual effects team behind Avatar – have created a CGI ape that delivers a dramatic performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence

Starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, and Andy Serkis, director Rupert Wyatt’s, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES opens in the U.S. on August 5, 2011 and in the U.K. August 11, 2011.
