It’s been several years since we’ve had a new saga in the “Planet Of The Apes” franchise and for those who’ve really been anxious for a new one, I give you “Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes”. The film comes care of 20th Century Studios (which is now owned by Disney) and the official Teaser Trailer has just been released. I’ve shared that down below along with the premise, some casting and artwork. I’ll return at the close with additional editorial. Enjoy.
The Premise: Generations after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, many ape clans have emerged in the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. When the ape leader Proximus Caesar perverts the teachings of Caesar to enslave other clans in search of the last traces of a secret human technology, the ape Noa embarks on a journey to find freedom alongside a young human woman named Mae.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now before I do my brief, I should mention that I missed the third installment in this franchise despite having enjoyed the first two films. Not sure how I missed it but that’s probably not important before seeing this one since its set so far into the future. I loved the original “Planet of The Apes” movies and got to see them all in the theater when they were presented on special occasions. I’ll have plenty of time to be up to speed with this new one not opening up until next Memorial Day. This teaser trailer looks good and I am a fan already so that’s that. Wrapping up I wonder what you readers think about this one/ Do please chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time.
