Sci-Fi Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

That date can't be correct. For starters May 5th 2024 is a Sunday and Captain America 4 is already slated to come out that weekend.

Oh, that makes more sense!

 

[Drizzle]

That did get me thinking that not counting the obvious exception of 2020, you'd have to go all the way back to 2006 to find the last summer movie season that wasn't kickstarted with a Marvel movie.

2024? Too far away.....

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Bummer....

 

[psylockolussus]

Hmm 2024 does seem far. But they should have been filming in the summer for it to be out in the summer of 2023.

Even if they filmed it this summer it'll have a long post production schedule because of all the CGI. I'm also expecting the VFX will look top notch even more than before since there aren't any expensive A-listers in the cast.

Yeah vfX is going to take a long time.

Just noticed we are getting a Poirot movie almost 1 year apart.

But its cool that Disney is keeping these foX film franchises alive.

I'm just glad this is actually being made, it's been so long since the last one. I've loved all the newer Apes films. I'm happy to see it keep going.

Same. That trilogy was amazing and I was always hoping it would continue some day. Excited for this.

I wonder how far into the future this takes place? I’m guessing 20 to 30 years after War For TPOTA.

My fake timeline, using the most recent turn of events… let’s say 2020 was when the virus takes hold. And, the film then technically started in (the near future) of 2015.

Dawn is ten years after that, so 2025 or so. With War taking place around 2028.

I could see the new series being somewhere around 2050 thru 2060, Nova being in her late 30s.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I kind of hope it’s farther along where the apes have their societies set up ala the original 60s Apes series.

Yeah, I also like seeing when they have got to the level of organised societies and watching that in action.

This. Caesar should be a legend at this point that different Apes use to further their dreams, both good and bad.

So is it ever going to get back to the time of the Charlton Heston original with someone crash landing on earth in the future? Or would that seem like a retread?

I feel like post-reboot, it's definitely played out now.

Best option with this new trilogy (hopefully) is the final minutes of the last film has a pull out on the current status of the Ape civilization (after 3 films) and we get into the upper atmosphere to see a ship cutting across the skyline... crashing to Earth.

Tease the "loop" of the franchise, obviously mostly respecting the past franchise/concept of the series/the novel.

We don't need to know anything about that crew. At best, we leave the theater assuming it's either Ulysse Mérou's crew (the book, you should read it - its great) or a new version of Taylor's crew.

Anything more than a tease would be retread on that weird mostly SHOCK ending by Burton.

At most we get a 3rd trilogy in another 15 years stepping into that story, by revitalizing it by using more of the book's prologue/epilogue premise.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I still can't believe this morning is still pretty much a year and a half away.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Rise sort of teased something like that

Though since it was more Caesar with the last series, and our identification fell with him, I wonder if they’ll just forgo any astronauts crash landing and just have the apes as our leads dealing with any threats they come across.

 

[antsman41]

I'm hoping this new trilogy touches upon aspects of Beneath TPOTA...

Have little groups of twisted psycho survivors who have hid in bunkers, etc. across the country // world.

It's funny how the storyline has stuck to North America for 60 years.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Scribes Tease What To Expect In Their Sequel Without Caesar — FilmSpeak

While the next installment of the franchise does not hit theaters for another year, in an exclusive interview with FilmSpeak, the duo shared that the long-awaited project is mere weeks away from wrapping production.

“We’re about to close production,” Silver started, before Jaffa eagerly interjected that the shoot still has about three weeks left. The obvious excitement comes just over 3 years since the project was first announced and 3 months since principal photography kicked off in Australia.

Kingdom marks the first time the duo has written an Apes film since Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. When you realize that they are the two who revamped the dying franchise with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, you can see why the two were so excited to reveal the news. They’re returning to a world that they literally helped build. But, as it turns out, there’s a lot more they are hoping to set up with this entry than their previous films. There is also a lot more to explore, seeing as how their initial protagonist, Caesar, died at the end of the last film.

Make no mistake. It was hard to decide where to take the franchise next. Not because the series’ main character was killed off, but because there seemed to be no shortage of ideas for this world that we have only seen brief glimpses of through his eyes. Silver confirmed that shortly after the last entry, she and Jaffa had a brief “period of mourning” for the character Caesar. However, with so many new ideas constantly coming to them, she and Jaffa decided to get to work. “There’s just a lot of story left to tell,” Jaffa insisted.

And it’s not like the new film will totally ignore Caesar’s sacrifice. As Jaffa explained, “Caesar created something and left a legacy. So then the questions are: what happens with that? What becomes of his legacy?”

He added that it doesn’t feel right to connect the new films with the original ones just yet. “Do we want to rush toward an ending [the beginning of the original Planet of the Apes], or do we want to find an interesting story to tell with interesting characters, “ he asked earnestly. But he came back to the simple point that there are too many stories in this world that have yet to be told.

That all sounds wonderful.
