00:00 [intro]
00:09 Just about everyone should be familiar with the Planet of the Apes movie series.
00:12 Whether it's the classic movie from 1968 and its sequels, or the three somewhat more
00:16 modern reboots from the 2010s, after the dark and very popular War of the Planet of the
00:21 Apes from 2017, we can soon look forward to a new release.
00:25 We tell you everything you need to know about the upcoming action spectacle and hope you
00:28 enjoy our new original episode!
00:32 As usual, there is a possibility of spoilers regarding the previous films, so be warned!
00:37 We can expect that the story of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will follow more or
00:40 less directly from its predecessor.
00:42 We recall, at the end of the third movie, main character Caesar succumbs to his wounds
00:47 after saving his tribe and defending it against an army of humans.
00:51 War of the Planet of the Apes was already rather dark and emotional, which fits perfectly
00:54 with Caesar's quest for revenge, which he undertakes after his wife and son were murdered
00:59 by humans.
01:00 It can be assumed that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will likewise follow a similar
01:03 pattern, as we already know from a first plot description by Deadline.
01:07 Based on this, the movie will take place sometime after the events of its predecessor.
01:11 As revealed by a casting report, the film, which will be released in 2024, will feature
01:15 several ape communities that have emerged from the oasis, while a small group of humans
01:19 have slowly recovered from the ape flu.
01:22 Caesar's legacy is said to be ambivalent.
01:24 While some ape communities have never even heard of the hero, others turn history in
01:27 their favor and establish their own empires based on false facts.
01:31 Due to this, we can assume that some time will have passed between Part 3 and Part 4.
01:36 One of the many ape leaders is said to be particularly ruthless and enslave other apes
01:40 for his own purposes in order to gain access to human technology.
01:44 The main protagonist, probably Cornelius, fights with all means for the freedom of all
01:48 apes and against their enslavement.
01:50 Along the way, he meets a young human woman who accompanies him.
01:53 It is not yet known whether she, like many of her kind, has become mute due to the flu.
01:58 As soon as we have more details about the story of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,
02:02 we will keep you posted.
02:04 Regarding the cast of Planet of the Apes 4, there is already some info.
02:08 Thus, for example, we will see Caesar's son Cornelius again, who will be played by
02:12 Black Mirror actor Owen Teague.
02:14 Apart from him, there are many confirmed actors with unknown roles, including newcomer Travis
02:19 Jeffrey, The Witcher star Freya Allen, the Orville actor Peter Makin, Jessica Jones actor
02:24 Ika Darville, and Kevin Durant, who played a part in the butterfly effect.
02:28 In February, The Hollywood Reporter also revealed that Jurassic World Dominion actress Daikin
02:33 Lachman and Shameless star William H. Macy would be joining the cast.
02:37 There is speculation that Macy will take on the role of the villain, which would put him
02:40 in good company with David Oyelowo, Gary Oldman, and Woody Harrelson from the previous films.
02:45 It is considered almost certain that Freya Allen will play the protagonist's human companion,
02:49 while Durant and Makin are believed to play apes.
02:52 For the other actors, it is unclear which side their characters will be on.
02:56 Filming on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes began in October 2022 in Sydney, Australia,
03:01 under the working title Forbidden Zone, and was already concluded in mid-February 2023.
03:05 The director this time is Wes Ball.
03:07 This is the first time since Maze Runner 3 from 2018 that Ball has been back in the director's
03:12 chair.
03:13 The screenplay, which was also penned by Ball, was also contributed by Avatar 2 writer Josh
03:17 Friedman.
03:18 According to Caesar actor Andy Serkis, director Wes Ball is the perfect man for the job.
03:23 We can't wait to see if the movie can keep that promise.
03:27 Apart from some artwork, there hasn't been much to see from the project yet.
03:31 Neither is there official news about the first trailer so far.
03:34 Since filming has been done for more than three months, many fans would like to see
03:37 at least a first trailer.
03:39 However, one should not disregard the fact that complex editing of the footage has just
03:43 begun after the shooting was over.
03:45 With such a special effects-heavy movie, that can definitely take some time.
03:49 The previous movies are considered milestones of the performance capture technique, and
03:52 the realistic portrayal of the apes and their emotions always cause great astonishment among
03:56 the audience.
03:57 It is to be expected that the new movie will strive for a similar quality.
04:01 The final result can be seen next year.
04:03 Game of the Planet of the Apes is slated for a theatrical release on May 24, 2024.
04:11 Please leave us a thumbs up if you liked this video.
04:13 Also, let us know in the comments if you think the film series has a shot at matching the
04:16 success of its predecessor, even without Andy Serkis in the leading role.
04:20 Thanks for watching, and see you next time!
