Rupert Wyatt departs the 2014-set CGI sequel.
20th Century Fox have today confirmed that they're on the hunt for a new director for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, with Rupert Wyatt now having left the project. While no official reasoning was given for why the director of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes could no longer continue with its follow-up, it is believed that Wyatt was afraid he could not successfully meet the hectic Summer 2014 schedule that lay before him and provide a worthy second instalment in the prequel Apes saga. The producers will unresoundingly want to get the film back on-the-run within the next few weeks to kick things off proper with Andy Serkis and the new cast before the end of the year, and thus we can probably expect a replacement director announcement for the project from Fox very soon. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is set for release on May 23rd, 2014.
