20th Century Fox Joins With Jane Goodall Institute To Help Rescued Chimpanzees In Honor Of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

Jane Goodall with Motambo, an orphan at the JGI Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center.

Only if we care can all be saved.

In our interview with screenwriters of RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, now producers, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, about the use of real chimpanzees in the 2011 movie, Silver said, “it’s all about animal rights. Man’s hubris for testing on animals – they’re sentient beings! So using real animals goes against our theme.”

The two are now co-producers alongside Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES.

20th Century Fox has just released “Compassion” – a special video created in conjunction with the Jane Goodall Institute.

In honor of the upcoming release of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, 20th Century Fox has partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute to provide care for rescued chimpanzees, many of whom are victims of the illegal commercial bushmeat and pet trades.

Goodall first discovered in 1960 that chimpanzees make and use tools and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute to advance her work around the world in conservation, and the role people play in the well-being on animals and the environment. She continues to travel the world with her message of how both humans and animals are all interconnected.

Caesar (Andy Serkis) and Cornelius (Devyn Dalton) anticipate the journey ahead in Twentieth Century Fox’s WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES.

Housed and cared for on three forested island sanctuary sites and a mainland sanctuary site at the Institute’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in Republic of Congo, nearly 150 chimpanzees will benefit from this partnership.

Housing on Tchindzoulou Island for rehabilitated chimps will be named “Caesar’s Home”, after the movie’s simian hero.

Caesar Invades Vegas and Takes Over Caesars Palace Las Vegas with a major show-stopping visual effect!

Projections of Caesar, the title character of WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, and a special image created by Shepard Fairey in collaboration with Studio One took over Caesars Palace.

 Famed contemporary street artist Shepard Fairey in collaboration with Studio One has created a stunning image which is being projected by twelve 35,000 lumen projectors with true 4k images all digitally mapped together to create one large image on the hotel.  The final image is over 495’ wide and 261’ tall and required over a football field of cabling running from roof to roof at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. All of the lights on the Caesars Palace Augustus Tower will be turned off while the image is projected.

Shepard Fairey stated, “After reading Matt Reeves’s script, I was excited to work on art for WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES because the story presents a visceral but sophisticated dichotomy of dual perspectives on the struggle for survival. Unlike most films in which the audience immediately identifies with their fellow humans and the threat is from the “other,” this films asks questions about compassion, empathy, and other traits that we usually only associate with humans.”

Chilling New DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Featurette

DPA_Group_Bridge_VER_C_SRGB

20th Century Fox has released a new featurette for DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES that’s very unnerving. Beginning with RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, the video connects the two movies and shows what happened to mankind after the 2011 film finished. It ain’t good folks.


(via MSN)

Plus, via the film’s Facebook page, a new photo of “Caesar’s loving partner” Cornelia, along with their baby, was unveiled.

The pair in the original APES franchise were Zira and Cornelius. Their chimpanzee baby born in the third film, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971), is hidden by Armando (Ricardo Montalbán) and grows up to become Caesar in the fourth film, CONQUEST OF PLANET OF THE APES (1972).

The screenwriters from RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, hid easter egg names throughout the film. It was a fantastic wink to the original movies. I hope they’ve done the same with DAWN.

A decade has passed since apes and man have come face-to-face. Now the two societies face a difficult choice between working together to co-exist or battle to become the dominant species.

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.

The film’s screenplay is by Mark Bomback and Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, and based on characters created by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver.

The film stars Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo, Karin Konoval, and Judy Greer.

Oscar-winning visual effects house WETA Digital – employing a new generation of the cutting edge performance capture technologies developed for Rise of the Apes and Avatar – will again render photo-realistic, emotionally-engaging apes. The film’s key behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Michael Seresin, production designer James Chinland, and VFX Supervisors Joe Letteri and Dan Lemmon, VFX producers Ryan Stafford, editor Bill Hoy and Stan Salfas, and costume designer Melissa Brunning. The score is from the Academy Award winning composer Michael Giacchino (UP).

Director Matt Reeves’ movie hits theaters July 11, 2014, in 3D.
