The first textual details on 2014's hottest fantasy film have landed...
20th Century Fox recently provided the world with
their first textual glimpse of their new fantasy film sequel Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes in the
form of its first official plot synopsis. Now we’re back (briefly) from our
hiatus, we thought we’d belatedly share it with you in case you missed it first
time! Here’s the synopsis: “A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by
Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus
unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves
short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will
determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.”
Now, given that this prequel franchise is meant to set up
the overarching storyline of the classic Planet
Of The Apes movies, it feels fairly safe to assume that said ‘dominant’
species will eventually turn out to be our primate predecessors. Nevertheless,
with 2011’s Rise Of The Planet Of The
Apes having earned our Film Of The Year award at the time, there’s rightly
plenty of expectation on Matt Reeves’ production team to deliver in what could
well be one of the greatest films of the near future.
Dawn Of The Planet Of
The Apes roars into cinemas worldwide on May 23rd, 2014.
