The Title Of The Next PLANET OF THE APES Movie Has Been Revealed
The end of Matt Reeves' Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes saw Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his ape army prepare for an all out assault from the human armed forces; so the title of the follow up flick probably won't come as much of a surprise! Find out what that is after the jump...
According to Collider, the third Planet Of The Apes prequel movie will be called War Of The Planet Of The Apes. Again, when you consider what the previous films have been building towards, most fans probably assumed it'd be something along those lines. Director Matt Reeves originally shot a different ending to Dawn which saw the human forces arrive on the scene via warships, but decided he'd rather leave things a bit more ambiguous. Still, it'd be surprising if the next movie didn't kick off in the aftermath of some type of initial skirmish.
Reeves has previously said that this story would be about Caesar becoming the "seminal figure for ape history", so does that mean we can expect the heroic simian to lead his people to victory? Well, we obviously know how all of this is supposed turn out... but that doesn't mean Reeves won't shake the journey up a bit.
War of the Planet of the Apes will be with us on July 14, 2017.
