Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Trailer: I Thought “Ape Shall Never Kill Ape!” Was A Golden Rule?

Posted on by

So, not only will there be a sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it looks as if this time it’s (even more) war as ape versus ape action will fill theaters next July and get the CG fans screaming. Me? I’ll wait for the cable premiere, as all these computer-made flicks just get on my nerves after anything over five minutes of otherwise hard work that’s failing to keep my interest the more of these effects hit me over the head. I’m NOT getting jaded at all, mind you. I just miss the days of practical work looking better in some respects and not as “perfect” because every motion is animated to a “T” and overemphasized to the point that it looks TOO realistic or worse, you get those “impossible to capture with a real camera” moments piled one atop the other and it’s basically not the director directing any longer. Yeah, we’ll see… we’ll see. It looks interesting and all, but if it’s not as “kinda fun” as Rise was, I’ll be sending a box of rotten banana peels to Fox with a mildly nasty note…

    • Hah! I bet even if they wanted him, he’s too darn busy writing/directing/learning stuff/running a new company/all of the above to be in it. That and I’d like to think it would be a cameo in the pre-credit sequence of him dying from that nasty bug that went around at the end of Rise. Heh, I bet a penny that this might actually happen (and that’s why he’s not in the credits)… that or it’ll be on the Blu-Ray version as an outtake or something suggested as some sort of bridge.

      • Ooh, that makes more sense. I’d actually really like to see that. Would herald the end of any sympathy for humanity Caesar might harbour.

        Or did he ever harbour any at all? DAMN YOU, APES!

      • Heh. I tend to make up intros and scenes for films in advance so I can cheer my own creativity when they fail to deliver (which happens way too much these days). I actually liked the ending/credits of Rise because it sets up the reason humans aren’t around to lead in the future Apes films (and the original 1968 film), but we’ll see how this one kicks off. I think it needs that cameo or at least SOME bridge so viewers can get up to speed. Short attention spans aren’t good for much these days…
