Any new trailers?

Sunday. New Super Bowl spot.

Kingdom of the Planet of Apes
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11389872/
May 10, 2024
Theatrical Exclusive

Need a planet of the Horses. Whether it's use or the monkeys, horses are constantly getting enslaved.

I thought the new trailer was amazing and it's really got me excited for this movie!

So until this comes out, rewatched the Caesar trilogy. Great shows. Then watched the OG Planet of the Apes 1968, first time since watching in early teens. Good story, classic Heston, hot Nova.
Then I watched the first sequel - 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It picks up where the original left off.
What did I just watch?! New astronaut that looks a lot like Heston crash lands looking for Heston. More apes and more of the same chasing the man, caging the man, etc. The man and Nova do escape to what was formerly New York - abandoned subways and NY landmarks. Then they run into a cult of bomb worshipping humans with fake heads that do mind control. They find Heston and *spoiler* the movie concludes with a Sopranos like ending. Do I watch the next couple of sequels or is it more of the same 70's craziness?

This next trilogy takes place between the two franchise eras (omitting the 2001 Tim Burton/Mark Wahlberg remake)...

2011 - Rise of the Planet of the Apes
2014 - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
2017 - War for the Planet of the Apes

2024 - Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
20?? - [X] of the Planet of the Apes
20?? - [X] of the Planet of the Apes

1968 - Planet of the Apes
1970 - Beneath the Planet of the Apes
1971 - Escape from the Planet of the Apes
1972 - Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
1973 - Battle for the Planet of the Apes

... so do with that information what you will.

As noted earlier, next year's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes place 300 years after 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes. That said, we have no idea how long before 1968's Planet of the Apes 2024's Kingdom takes place. There's also, of course, the possibility that Kingdom could be leading up to a complete re-imagining/remake of 1968's Planet of the Apes. So less of a bridge between the two eras and more charting a new course.

Conquest (1972) and Dawn (2014) tell basically the same story (ape revolt against humans). War (2017) and Battle (1973) tell basically the same story (but less so than Conquest/Dawn), with a battle for supremacy between declining humans and ascendant apes.

ETA: Kevin Durand as the "big bad" in the new film ... should be awesome.

ETAA: I do not find Freya Allan even remotely attractive in Witcher, but in the Kingdom trailer, she is jaw-dropping hot as a brunette. Weird.

they are definitely 1970s films. And honestly the production values went down with each film, as they cranked them out very quickly o meet the demand. on top of that, they were slashing the budget. Each subsequent film had a budget about half out of the previous film, despite the fact that the first film had produced revenue almost 5 times the amount of money they spent on it.

they are all Campy fun, but none of them is the classic that you experienced with the first film.

Those suits are amazing. Makes me wonder why they didn't use suits on the movie, seems like you'd save millions.

Planet of the Centaurs.
Like the apes they'll conceal their true origin, which in this case involved some unfortunate, err horsing around.

IMO, it's definitely the best trilogy of the 2010s. It's maybe even the second best trilogy of the century, behind The Dark Knight trilogy, up there with/potentially surpassing the original Bourne trilogy and the Ocean's trilogy.

THIS IS FAST AND FURIOUS ERASURE

The home media release of ‘KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES’ will include a version of the entire movie with the original footage of the actors in mo-cap suits.

This.

Trying to help my Father watch the trilogy in the right order, my one criticism of Matt Reeve's APES trilogy continues to be:

The titles for 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' should be flipped. pic.twitter.com/g9VfDOAwMD

Between Rise, Dawn, War, and now #KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes, this series continues to be one of the very best franchise reboots out there.

As expected, there was no better director to take over than Wes Ball. Of course the wizards at Wētā had a big hand in this, but there’s… pic.twitter.com/HnVN5g6VOJ

Setting the story hundreds of years after War was a brilliant choice. It’s fascinating to see what’s become of Caesar’s impact on apes, but also ensures anyone can watch and enjoy this particular installment. I’m also a big fan of how intimate and character-first the events of… pic.twitter.com/tciObPn1IQ

Reminder that Wes Ball was tapped to direct Legend of Zelda.

Seems like a home run choice now.

I am a hardcore lifelong APES fan and I loved this film and the way it feels different from any of the other entries in the franchise.

Also this is an adventure epic, not an action film. It takes time with characters and concepts and is richer for it.

— devincf (@devincf) May 3, 2024

Last APES thought: while there are echoes of BATTLE in KINGDOM, and while the film has nods to the originals, this is the first new era APES movie where I felt less interested in how they were going to get to Charlton Heston and more interested in just the world itself.

— devincf (@devincf) May 3, 2024

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a strong continuation of the series. Takes a little while to find its footing, but builds into an captivating second act and a thrilling finale. Excited to see where it heads from here after an intriguing ending. pic.twitter.com/wuYWSMDeB0

KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is a worthy successor to the throne. A bold leap into the future of this world that hooked me immediately.

It’s a genuinely exciting action adventure, perhaps larger in scope than the last films, but just as grounded in honest emotion. pic.twitter.com/Xq7SNNJ4yb

I adored #KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes. Capturing over 55 years of influence, the film is riveting, beautiful, and a perfect addition to the 'Apes' legacy. A lush adventure that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Owen Teague is a worthy successor to carry it all. pic.twitter.com/SAdjt7Wti1

Was a big fan of the previous Planet of the Apes trilogy and can say I absolutely loved #KingdomofthePlanetoftheApes. This film cements the franchise as one of the strongest IPs out there! pic.twitter.com/q5LLSrXxbO

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is just a classic summer blockbuster.

Takes a minute to get going, thoroughly introducing new characters & timeline, then never looks back. VFX are astonishing. Great performances.

Feels like a start to an epic new saga. Need the next one ASAP. pic.twitter.com/pWY28QQ5LF

#KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes is not only incredibly gorgeous but also a deep and magnificent return to this franchise.

The film manages to capture Caesar’s legacy with an engaging story and an amazing cast. Wes Ball was really the right guy to bring this franchise back. pic.twitter.com/vj6sx3WTnW

— The Hollywood Handle (@HollywoodHandle) May 3, 2024

#KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes is a beautiful coming of age story framed around the idea of legacy and what happens to it when it's lost to time or subverted by the wicked. It doesn't surpass what Andy Serkis did with his trilogy, but Wes Ball’s approach proves that the franchise… pic.twitter.com/iz3qf01GK7

I actually did this Sunday, when the weather was bad. Stayed in and rewatched all three.

I liked "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" the most just because it had the most variation of story and locations. But all three were indeed great.

Just once I want a planet of the apes movie where they are the worst and the human heroes curb stomp them. All of them. And take back our gd planet
