The anticipation for the next installment in theApesfranchise,Kingdom of the Planet of the Apesis running high. The film starringOwen Teagueas the voice of protagonist NoaalongsideFreya Allanas a young woman, Mae, has started teasing fans with new details, and it seems a worthy successor to theWar for the Planet of the Apes.After showcasing a new 4DX posterto give fans another taste of the thrills and conflict of this new story, IMAX unveiled a special look at the film directed byWes Ball.
The clip starts on a chaotic note as we see apes hunting humans, however, Noa saves one young girl from the lot. Gone are the times when humans and apes co-existed “Apes hunt humans, that’s the law,” the voiceover sets the tone for this feature, as we seeNoa in disagreement with the idea. We also see him setting out on a journey to find his people to “bring them home,” joining hands with humans. The trailer looks quite exciting and promises a lot of action and a grave conflict for the fans of the franchise.
What’s the ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ About?
Set 300 years after the Ceaser’s trilogy the fourth installment inthe reboot of the franchise, sees apes as the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. When a new tyrannical ape,Proximus (voiced byKevin Durand), builds his empire, one young ape, Noa goes against the establishment and undertakes a journey which will make him question all that he has known about the past.
The feature serves as a soft reboot of the franchise but will still feel Ceaser’s effect in spirit.While all the movies are considered canon characters like Caesar, Koba, Rocket, Nova, and others will probably not be appearinginKingdom of the Planet of The Apes. Noa, the protagonist, just like the audience will be making sense of the history of his civilization and what it means for his present, making it a compelling tale.
The movie has afresh cast includingPeter Maconas Raka,Travis Jefferyas Anaya,Lydia Peckhamas Soona, andNeil Sandilandsas Koro. Further rounding off the cast in undisclosed roles areEka Darville,Ras-Samuel Weld A’abzgi,Sara Wiseman, andDichen Lachman.
