Rise of the Apes: Where Should the Sequel Go?

The Apes are slowly taking over and multiplying while the humans are dying of from that disease from the serum at the end of the film.

I honestly see a double story, the rise of the apes over humans. And the throwing of ceasar from leader from that scarred face ape. We should also see 2nd gen apes. And a political system/structure formed or forming. Humans should be dwindling rapidly and more and more apes around the world rise up. Can fill in the gaps and you have a sequel.

CBM is getting lazier and lazier.
what direction do 'YOU' think the sequel should movie in? isn't CBM supposed to tell what direction 'THEY' think the sequel should movie in and then in the talkback we agree or disagree?

Down with all the aliens and vampires! Bring on the apes!!

Caesar starts a clothing line and call it "A Bathing Ape"...then change his name to Nigo and be-friend Pharrel and other hiphop superstar...ouh before that he moved to Japan, ofcourse!!!

Street Warfare like BATTLE: L.A. but with Apes instead of Aliens! :P

Evolution of the planet of the apes!

wants to prepare* stupid typo error

@comiccow6: good point about the cure.. I was hinting at that with the boy..

dont u think the nuke thingy would seem too reminiscent of T-3 (AWFUL movie)... and the terminator movie's in general..

I like the reference to the statue of liberty though.. I put the shipping away to mars thing cos it .. well just seemed so uber cool.. maybe they could leave a few human strongholds and prisoners on earth??

Bahhh.. its nt like theyr goin2go for our Ideas :P

Was very impressed with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Would like to see a new trilogy.

@ solidsnakeeyes

Like everything you said but Tim Burtons 2001 "Planet of the Apes" has nothing to do with this one. There would also be humans left as this a prequel to the 1968 "Planet of the Apes" Starring Charlton Heston, in which he finds primitive and mute like humans (Perhaps a condition or mutation of the virus which has been past from generation to generation from the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" film) whom are rounded up like animals and captured along with him.

@ Maia87

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt has stated that it's his hope that the projected new series of Apes films will ultimately dovetail with the original Planet of the Apes. That essentially the future world will be the same one that Charlton Heston's George Taylor arrives on in the 1968 flick."

Where's the confusion in you thinking this film isn't linked to the old ones?

BATTLE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

you know from a scientific standpoint...

James Franco's character only tested his original virus on one human subject, his dad. His dad developed anti-bodies that fought it off. So he assumed this was how everyone would react. This is bad, because he needs control and multiple test subjects. Turns out his father might have been one of the few with anti-bodies and the original virus was just as bad. Meaning Franco's character is probably immune to the disease and maybe even the new one.

Here is what I think should happen. It's 10 years later.
The virus has spread causing 4 out comes.
1. It has killed off 90% of the human population.
2. It has caused a "devolution" in humans.
The virus starts to attack the minds of infected humans
causing them to loose their speech and social structure.
3. Fewer humans are immune.
4. Even fewer begin the "Evolve" gaining higher intelligence.

Meanwhile the Apes are still living in seclusion in the Red wood forest.
Caesar has appointed different apes for different roles in their society.
Buck and his Gorillas patrol the forest.
Maurice and Koba have been appointed as Caesars council.
Caesar has had a son with Cornelia named Charles in honor of Charles Rodman (John Lithgow).
Maurice has started a set of laws, the sacred scrolls and is given the title Lawgiver.
Law 1:Ape Shall Never Kill Ape.
Alpha has started almost a cult like group within the Ape society
They believe that man is "the devil's pawn", to be shunned and driven out, if not destroyed outright.
He is refered to as Chief Defender of the Faith
They almost worship Ceaser and his family (they wear clothing).


Dr. Will Rodman is alive working on a cure for man from his virus.
He is now working with what is left of mans military and medical at Naval Weapons Station in Concord.
This military instillation is headed by Admiral Mendez an "Evovled".
The instalation is refered to as "The House of Mendez"

Koba begins to question Caeser openly in hopes of gaining support for his rise as leader.
In his attempt to discredit Ceaser and his stance towards humans.
Koba tricks Alpha into kidnapping Charles.
Koba kills Charles, breaking the first law of Ape :Ape Shall Never Kill Ape.
He blames the murder on Humans. Alpha knows truth but too afraid to tell Caeser.
Apes attack humans, Humans fight back beating Apes.
Apes retreat back into Red Woods.
Humans follow attacking and burning woods almost to the ground.
Will and Caeser meet in a hopes of stopping the war but friendship broken beyond repair.
Caeser now completly untrusting of humans has new laws written

Law 1: Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates,
he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land.
Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.
Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

Law 2: Human zone now refered to as "THe Forbidden Zone"

I think it has been set up that scar faced ape Koba wasn't it? is going to try and seize power which could lead to having two groups of apes one trying to take over earth whilst the other lots try to live in harmony! I don't think Caesar will die though but i think Will is going to which will lead to Caesar becoming more ruthless as we saw that side of him when his big gorilla friend died!! Anyway Awesome movie the sequel has alot to live up to.

"revolution of the apes"
nice title for the sequel :D
