In the wake of Rupert Wyatt and Matt Reeves’ trilogy that began with Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011 and came to end with 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is on the way next year from 20th Century Studios, a brand new movie that takes place “many years after” the events of War for the Planet of the Apes.
Director Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will release in theaters May 24, 2024, and the official teaser trailer has arrived this morning. Check it out below.
Owen Teague (“IT”), Freya Allan (“The Witcher”), Kevin Durand (Locke & Key”), Peter Macon (“Shameless”), and William H. Macy (“Fargo”) star in the new movie.
“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.”
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.
This epic story began with Pierre Boulle’s 1963 novel La Planète des singes, and 20th Century Fox has distributed multiple different movies dating back to the original in 1968.
