New Update On 'War For The Planet Of The Apes'

Two months ago, CinemaCon  previewed a teaser for War For The Planet Of The Apes though 20th Century Fox has maintained a radio silence ever since and that looks set to change very soon indeed, with Trailer Track reporting that the final trailer for Matt Reeves’ visually stunning threequel will screen before Alien: Covenant next week.

In terms of War For the Planet of the Apes, Reeves and Co. have promised a sequel that holds stronger ties to the classic Apes films of old, as evidenced by the inclusion of Amiah Miller’s Nova. Woody Harrelson is attached to the part of a badass Colonel, who will spend much of the film hunting down Andy Serkis’ Caesar and his Simian army. Also on board are Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Judy Greer, and Terry Notary.

War For the Planet of the Apes sparks an interspecies conflict of epic proportions on July 14th. Both Rise ($481 million) and Dawn ($716 million) have placed the bar fairly high when it comes to box office expectations.
