20th Century Studios has released the first look at their upcoming film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and they’ve also announced the main cast of the film.
The movie is being helmed by Wes Ball (The Maze Runner), and the cast includes Owen Teague (It), Freya Allen (The Witcher), and Peter Macon (The Orville). The script for the film comes from Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), and Patrick Aison (Prey).
It’s explained that this film starts “an all-new chapter in the Planet of the Apes saga, picking up many years after the conclusion of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes.”
Steve Asbell, President 20th Century Studios said in a statement, “Planet of the Apes is one of the most iconic and storied science fiction franchises in film history, as well as being an indelible part of our studio’s legacy. With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes we are privileged to continue the series’ tradition of imaginative, thought-provoking cinema, and can’t wait to share Wes’ extraordinary vision for this new chapter with audiences in 2024.”
Production on the film will begin production next month. Are you excited about this movie? Do you think it will be as good as what director Matt Reeves previously made? He certainly set a high bar for the franchise!
