With all the effects work, both practical and CG, that goes into creating a new Planet of the Apes film nowadays, Fox seemed to be really pushing things when they announced a July 29, 2016, release date for the next installment in the franchise. The powers-that-be have apparently re-thought their strategy because a new date — about a year later — has appeared on Box Office Mojo.
Now the so far untitled film has been dated for July 14, 2017. It’ll still be directed by Matt Reeves and of course feature Andy Serkis as Caesar.
As Serkis said previously, “It’s very, very early in where we choose to drop anchor in the next film. It could be five years after the event, it could be the night after the events of where we left ‘Dawn,’ so it’s very difficult to know where the story is going right at this moment because it’s being written as we speak. I know that part of the desire for Matt [Reeves] to do this next movie is about continuing the enjoyment of seeing these apes evolve.”
Look for more soon!
