The sequel to 2011's primate epic is on its way...Those of you who follow the blog might recall that I named Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes my Film Of The Year 2011, blown away by its staggering CGI, its thought-provoking storyline and above all its empathetic ape protagonist. We've now got confirmation from 20th Century Fox that a sequel called Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is going to be made as a follow-up to Rise in the near future. The film distributors have yet to give any plot details on this second instalment in the rebooted franchise, but it's safe to assume that Ape rebel leader Caesar (portrayed superbly by Andy Serkis) will return and that the virus that had begun to spread across mankind come the credits of the original will start to take its toll in a way that could weave together elements of the disbanded series lore. There's still a long way to go yet until we see Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, with a release date of May 23rd, 2014 currently set for the project, yet it's at least comforting to have a title and firm reassurance that the sequel is heading into production!
