DVD Release: January 2012
- Eclipse Series 31: Three Popular Films by Jean-Pierre Gorin (Criterion Collection) (Various) Pre-Order
Movies: 2 Watch on the Big sceen or DVD.
The movie, which is set in modern day San Francisco, has a cast that includes James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films).
The story is told largely from the point of view of a chimpanzee named Caesar, played by Andy Serkis. It's also chockfull of inside gags for Apes fans, from character names to lines of dialogue to an actual passing reference to Heston's space voyage which started it all in 1968.Ending on a tease for a potential sequel, it would seem that Fox is banking on this franchise becoming a regular fixture on the blockbuster calendar.
