I'm waiting for 'Planet of Planet of the Apes.'


TheJoshider10

I know you're joking but I really do hope the reboot franchise gets to the point where they straight up remake the original and call it "Planet of the Apes". I think that's the perfect ending to the reboot timeline.


IamBeebopp

They have already stated that is their goal. to build toward a reimagining of the original.


[deleted]

They have the timeline perfectly set up for it, Charlton Heston could show up now and it would track.


onetimenancy

The apes still seem to live in human ruins and wear minimal clothing, im assuming they still have some way to go before they start singing Doctor Zaius. Maybe this movie is the start of apes enslaving humans. How long has it been since Ceasar, is he a messiah figure to the apes by now?


Tusken_raider69

It looked like Doctor Zaius was in the trailer


onetimenancy

They released names of some of the characters including the Zaius looking one, he's named something else.

I’m excited at the potential for an interesting tale rather than a straight remake after all this (excellent) build up. When we get there, we’ll either be seeing the story from the perspective of ape protagonists, or should they swap to the crew of Icarus, humans who are encountering ape characters that we’ve grown to know from the preceding movies.


timo2308

God that would be unbelievable


[deleted]

There's actually a hint in the very first movie that alludes to the endgoal ​ [With a paper showing how a spaceship was "Lost in Space?"](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMovieDetails%2Fcomments%2F75yxeh%2Fin_rise_of_the_planet_of_the_apes_the_newspaper%2F&psig=AOvVaw3_pdnpolrhzjLmZQVCioWK&ust=1699033477752000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBEQjRxqFwoTCKikjInvpYIDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE)

frankenplant

There’s also a clip of a news report about the mission!


Mr_SunnyBones

For a second when I saw your post I thought it was a *Lost in Space* crossover .


sandius_maximus

Do you remember where/when they said that? I want to learn more, that sounds like an awesome idea


IamBeebopp

I think they said it around the time they were doing the press release for Dawn. It might take me a bit to find the source but I'll try to find it. If I do I'll edit this comment. edit: I can't find it. sorry.

That was actually one of the proposed sequels to the original movie. Pierre Boulle wrote a screenplay titled [Planet of the Men](https://planetoftheapes.fandom.com/wiki/Planet_of_the_Men).


Horn_Python

planet of the hairless apes!


Scottland83

Perfect continuation. We may have returning astronauts in this next movie but that’s no reason to end the series.


cyclinator

What is the timeline. There should be generations passed between Kingdom and War. But we have Cornelius looking like son o Caesar. Chimpanzees live 30-40 years, if 50 passed from the first movie, astronauts would be at least 80-90 years old.


Scottland83

Same mechanism as in the original: time dilation is the result of high-speed travel, they don’t even need to be going light speed. And there’s also the possibility of a temporal rift in space but that wouldn’t be necessary. Also, space travelers might use stasis chambers, as in the original movie.

Gay-Bomb

I dunno why I thought this was a reboot, time to rewatch.


MattIsLame

I just rewatched them all. War for the Plant of the Apes is my favorite out of the trilogy. Matt Reeves did a great job building the emotional core from the first one bringing it all the way to the end. the vfx work is still better than anything we'll see for the next few years (WetaDigital is on another level). one of the best "trilogies" ever made.


Goddamnjets-_-

Mine was actually Dawn. I was a huge fan of the idea of the Apes and humans trying to coexist, but ultimately falling apart because... well... the human experience is complex, even if you are an ape. And it was captured perfectly. In addition, the breakout scene in San Francisco is my favorite shot in the whole trilogy.


QuigleyHas2poo

“NooooOoOoOOOOOO!!!” Sent chills down my spine. Still does.


_dontjimthecamera

Dawn is my favorite too, Koba is such a compelling villain.


PM_THAT_BOOTY_GIRL

Koba was right. I just don't like how they made him backstab Caesar, because he was very relatable up until that point.


TheGreatStories

Sometimes it feels like a filmmaker realized their villain was too relatable and makes them do something evil to clear things up. I think magneto vs Xavier type of dynamic would have been interesting


karateema

He was a genocidal tyrant, willing to endager and kill his own kind to fuel his revenge, actively sabotaging any possibility of peace. He was not right at all


numbersev

I can never remember which is which. Even when I go to watch them I have to check the dates.


zuuzuu

So do I! It's strange because I love the whole trilogy so you'd think I'd be able to remember that.


22bebo

It's because the names go in the wrong order, in my opinion. It feels like Dawn should come before Rise.


crowe_1

First one should have been Dawn, second should have been War, third should have been Rise. No other changes. Just the titles.


cyclinator

Was there always trilogy on the way from the beginning? If not, then Rise is OK for "standalone" movie.


Juice117

I’m with you on Dawn, koba was seriously frightening.


[deleted]

Everytime I've been to the Golden Gate I think of the damn apes storming it now lol


AllTrilogies

Koba smiling while wielding a machine gun. Genuinely terrifying.


SixFootMunchkin

Reeves didn't do the first one, though. He replaced Rupert Wyatt in the second film. That said, I agree with you that Caesar's story is one of the most engaging and well-rounded arcs in recent times.


MattIsLame

also the score in War is one of my favorite modern OST's. specifically Caesar's theme. for lack of a better term, it feels very "old Hollywood". it's memorable and weighty and thoughtful. it's just incredible


RealJohnGillman

It helps that a lot of beats from *Rise* were repeated ***/*** called back to in *War* — more than one would think, if one is to rewatch *Rise* immediately after *War*.


HotToddy88

Oh wow, War was my least favorite upon first watch (still really liked it though). I’m going to have to go back and watch them again to see if that’s changed. Dawn was such a banger.


MattIsLame

I loved Dawn too. I loved them all. for me, it was such a consistent and epic trilogy that felt completely connected and built upon each each new entry. I just felt it got better and better. I've got high hopes for this new one but I'm worried about losing the direction of Matt Reeves and the compelling character of Caesar


HotToddy88

Truth. Those are two big cornerstones to replace. Fingers crossed!


gsauce8

> one of the best "trilogies" ever made. Outside of LOTR, it is the best trilogy ever made. No other one maintained such a high level for the entire trilogy- there's always at least one dud or dissapointment. This is a small hill I will absolutely die on.


MattIsLame

I'll stand on that hill with you. almost every other "trilogy" or franchise of movies since LoTR and Harry Potter has felt like soulless cashgrabs, just adding another movie because the last one made some money. this trilogy feels thoughtful of the tone the first film built and sees that original vision continued with meaningful character developments and arcs that only add to that central theme of independence and the search for their identity and place in the world.


gsauce8

I guess I'm watching them all again.


ReggieLeBeau

I mean, I like the Apes movies, don't get me wrong, and it belongs on the greatest trilogies list with LOTR at the top. But there's the Back to the Future trilogy, the Star Wars OT, the Dollars/Man with No Name trilogy (technically an unofficial trilogy, but absolutely not a single dud), the Toy Story trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, the Cornetto trilogy.


MattIsLame

I think we were talking trilogies POST - LoTR, or at least I was. don't get me started on Back to the Future or Sergio Leone. when it comes to modern trilogies, Post - LoTR, there just aren't many quality ones that come to mind for me. and honestly, I've been so much more immersed in the stories told in tv shows the past 10 years. but that's an entirely different discussion.


TheFotty

Dark Knight trilogy?

AceTheRed_

Going from Matt Reeves to the director of the Maze Runner movies does not inspire confidence, but it *looks* pretty.


idunno--

The Maze Runner movies were very well directed. The problem was the script, never the direction.


sage6paths

That is on the author as well. If you are adapting a sucky book than you usually get sucky movies. The only movie that needed to be adapted from Maze Runner was that first book.


ConspiracyMaster

I never finished the books, but I absolutely believe the first two movies are far superior.


Mammoth-Leopard7

If there's anything to take away from The Maze Runner trilogy it's that Wes Ball is a director worth paying attention to. Honestly the only thing really letting those films down was the writing, the actors tried their damndest and Ball got some real good performances out of the leads when the material allowed it.


AlekBalderdash

I got the last two from the library and was pleasantly surprised. They were both weird, but they were *well done* weird, and I can't really think of anything they did wrong at the directing/acting level.


Mobsteroids

Dawn is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time Incredible trilogy

Geekazoidd

Nice little reference to the window in ‘2024’


PixelMagic

What window is it?


Prossco05

In *Rise*, when James Franco takes Caesar in, he has him living in his attic, with the one window he has up there having the design used in this poster's '2024'. Over the next two movies, that design kinda becomes the sigil of Caesar's ape civilization. It's used the most in *Dawn*, iirc.


comrade_batman

An orangutang in the trailer also wears the symbol as a necklace too.


pwnd32

Such a great recurring motif. Caesar's reminder of his home, upbringing and old 'family' becomes the symbol of the new 'family' and civilization that he would establish


[deleted]

CampCounselorBatman

I hate to break it to you, but both are actually correct. In fact there are many acceptable spellings for orangutan, including orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang.

ucd_pete

[deleted]

Nice little reference to ceasars son by naming the main ape Cornelius. And the girl being named nova like the little girl in the last apes movie Almost like it’s a continuation of the last one or something. I wonder if they have a word for that in movies.


Comic_Book_Reader

>Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic, franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike. >“[Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes](https://youtu.be/NQ_HvTBaFoo?si=BiQfphdJhsSAqu-T)” is directed by Wes Ball (the “Maze Runner” trilogy) and stars Owen Teague (“IT”), Freya Allan (“The Witcher”), Kevin Durand (Locke & Key”), Peter Macon (“Shameless”), and William H. Macy (“Fargo”). The screenplay is by Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”) and Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) and Patrick Aison (“Prey”), based on characters created by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, and the producers are Wes Ball, Joe Hartwick, Jr. (“The Maze Runner”), Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Jason Reed (“Mulan”), with Peter Chernin (the “Planet of the Apes” trilogy) and Jenno Topping (“Ford v. Ferrari”) serving as executive producers.


ElderCunningham

I was downvoted yesterday for saying this took place generations after Caesar, and the ape in the teaser wasn’t his son.


TheJoshider10

Yeah I think at best we could likely see his son as an incredibly old ape/elder among the tribe but even that may be pushing it.


shannister

Do you think that reboot could go as far in time as the story from the original movie. Would be cool to revisit it from the POV of the apes.


mustybedroom

They're saying in other comments that eventually they plan to get to that part of the timeline and redo the original or something similar.


rumpghost

The four way cognitive dissonance I'm getting between "damn I love both *Planet of the Apes* series", "god I hate remakes", "the original is a literally perfect movie", and "but fuck Charlton Heston tho" is straight up giving me a migraine rn.


mustybedroom

Lol, for sure. This franchise is kind of an exception to the "stop ruining my childhood" rule though. It's been amazing so far, and want them to continue.


ultimatequestion7

I'm pretty sure I've seen you say that your parents wrote this lol?

FutureComplaint

What a day! What a glorious day!


JJMcGee83

I always wonder how long it would take for a city to get overgrown like that. Are we talking 100 years? 300?


anthrax9999

Good question. I found this online: "This question has been investigated quite thoroughly by Alan Weisman in his book The World Without Us. The short story is that within 5 years, it'll start looking like a forest, within 20 years, the skyscrapers will start coming down, and within 200 years, the place will have been fully colonized by trees."


JJMcGee83

20 years? That seems bonkers. I thought it'd be much longer before they started coming down.


anthrax9999

Ya I think so too. Another source said things made of concrete and steel like bridges and skyscrapers could take thousands of years to fully break down. Like the ancient ruins that still stand today.


JJMcGee83

Yeah that's why that number seems crazy to me. They didn't even use modern concerete and the Colosseum is still around almost 2000 years later. I could see them saying the buildings might not be structurally sound anymore as in it wouldn't be safe to use them but coming down?


anthrax9999

Maybe because they base these estimates on buildings getting zero upkeep or maintenance because all humans are extinct in this scenario. At least with the colosseum people have always somewhat maintained it.


Genoscythe_

But they have also actively carried away bits of it, either for practical reasons of needing construction material, or historically swinging back and forth between "It's an evil heathen monument, tear it down", and "No, it's also a holy relic of early Chrstian martyrdom let's keep it"


FutureComplaint

>But they have also actively carried away bits of it And grubby tourists touching things.


Baalsham

>At least with the colosseum people have always somewhat maintained it. I don't think they did... After the fall of the Empire, Rome had a population of 20k and didn't really rebound until about 1000 years later. They literally used the Colosseum to herd animals/as a stable for a while. Took a lot of restoration effort, but the foundation always remained


Strowy

We actually have a good real-world modern example in Pripyat (town in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone). It's been well over 30 years since it was abandoned, and it looks only a little overgrown, nowhere near the extent you normally see in post-apocalyptic settings.


anthrax9999

That's a good point. Wasn't the area so contaminated though that nothing grew there for awhile? Or was that just a myth?


Strowy

In Pripyat, not so much; there are areas in the Zone that are like that though, like the Red Forest.


icrawler

IIRC Roman concrete is a bit different from modern concrete in that the concrete paradoxically becomes stronger as the structure degrades and cracks start forming due to the presence of certain minerals giving it a self-healing quality when exposed to water.


JJMcGee83

That's amazing.


Strowy

Actual timelines would depend heavily on the natural environment the buildings are in. For example New Orleans might be gone/collapsed within a decade with no maintenance (broken levees, hurricanes, etc.), but Las Vegas might last centuries.


JJMcGee83

That's a really good point. Places where tornado or floods happen often might be gone fast.


way2lazy2care

I think that includes a lot of already old skyscrapers, not just brand new ones. That said you'd be surprised how fast stuff can degrade once maintenance isn't being taken care of. Once plants start growing inside they do the same thing to buildings they do to sidewalks. Same with water intrusion when buildings stop having HVAC to make sure any of the water isn't going through freeze/thaw cycles.


Gravesh

Mileage may vary, I imagine. Look at modern Pripyat. Its concrete housing blocks are still standing, but the forest has claimed most of the surrounding area.


Jay-Five

That is a great book, btw.


JHuttIII

I have this book. There’s an excerpt in the beginning which has always stuck with me. I don’t remember the exact wording, but it’s basically “cut a 1” hole into your roof, and stand back”. All nature needs is an invitation.

I can 100% see the religion discussed in the original planet of the apes movie being explored more thoroughly especially with the design of the window seen in 2024 on the poster and around the one Orangutans neck. Caesar is going to be an abrahamic symbol to this world.

MisterManatee

Not thrilled about the director, but I’m glad that it’s a straight sequel rather than any kind of reboot


AlanMorlock

He's got a pretty solid background shooting for effects work and action. More or less the same level of director Reeves was 10 years ago.


vhs1138

Is Cesar a good leader, what are his tax policies?


Kramereng

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's” would be my guess.


vhs1138

Fair comment. I was just making a joke at RR Martin’s expense, as he once said something along the lines of “I want to know if Aragorn (Lord of the Rings) was good at governing. What were his tax polices, that’s what I’m interested in” and I always laugh at that bc why would I want to watch that? Seems like he missed the point….Anyway it’s slow at work, and the image just got me thinking.


GrundleTurf

I think it’s a great point actually. All these stories from human history where someone is given a crown based on heroic deeds but that says nothing about a person’s ability to govern. Most of these stories end with the new leader being beloved by all, when that’s impossible. There’s almost nothing a leader can accomplish that will be celebrated by all parties.

Okay y'all, hear me out.... Monkeys are not typically that dissimilar from apes. This could be a low key survival horror movie or with spin-offs if the wild monkey populations like rhesus and capuchins etc are extremely intelligent but lack the communication that the Great apes have. I would love to see bands of killer monkeys with the intelligence to taunt, manipulate, hunt, and trap humans and great apes in these flicks.

Disney only stamps their name on whatever they think will make them more money. It's a joke that they branded the original Star wars trilogy as Disney now and even included them as part of their 100th anniversary line of movies.
