As part of their Summer Movie Preview, Entertainment Weekly has debuted two intense new photos from 20th Century Fox's War for the Planet of the Apes featuring new looks at Woody Harrelson as The Colonel alongside a human-favoring gorilla, and then another photo with Caesar leading his brothers into battle.

While speaking with the trade, director Matt Reeves teased the arrival of the near-psychotic Colonel “It finally cracks Caesar. It sets him on a revenge mission. The movie goes from being this grand war movie to an almost Josey Wales-like Western.” Reeves expands on their dynamic a bit further by likening it to the one shared by Alec Guinness' British Commander and Sessue Hayakawa's prison camp Colonel in 1957's Bridge on the River Kwai, which certainly suggests some madness awaits us this July.

Check out new photos below:

In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.

War For The Planet Of The Apes features:
Director: Matt Reeves
Andy Serkis as Caesar
Woody Harrelson as The Colonel
Steve Zahn as "Bad Ape"
Karin Konoval as Maurice
Terry Notary as Rocket
Judy Greer as Cornelia
Max Lloyd-Jones as Blue Eyes

Jesus, look how real that Gorilla looks next to Woody, crazy. Can't wait to see what Reeves brings to Batman now that he finished the last 2 of one of the greatest trilogies of all time in my opinion.

MUTO123 - 4/28/2017, 10:53 AM

Also, @ConnorHawkeye , I just heard The Circle be described as "the Billy Madison of techno-thrillers".

ConnorHawkeye - 4/28/2017, 11:02 AM

@MUTO123 - eh, well, I enjoyed billy madison a long time ago, so idk, I am now on the fence about watching it.

ConnorHawkeye - 4/28/2017, 11:05 AM

@MUTO123 - And yes, apes rule, Kong was fantastic, and this looks great!

MUTO123 - 4/28/2017, 11:09 AM

@ConnorHawkeye - *SPOILERS! TURN AWAY IF YOU WANNA AVOID SPOILERS! SPOILERS! MOTHER[frick]ING SPOILERS! GODDAMNIT, SPOILERS!*

They mostly refer to a death scene that reminded them of the "O'Doyle Rules" scene from Billy Madison.

MUTO123 - 4/28/2017, 11:09 AM

Here's the review if you're curious.

ConnorHawkeye - 4/28/2017, 11:14 AM

@MUTO123 - huh, well that is hilarious, I love that scene, they just plummet to their deaths because of a banana!

I guess that just means a mob mentality. And now, I have now made up my mind, just going to bootleg it
