New Apes on the Way
Hey there! Great news for sci-fi fans – the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise is set to release another sequel in 2027. Exciting, right? The news was revealed by Steve Asbell, the boss of 20th Century Studios, in a recent interview. Let’s dive into more details about this exciting news.
Working on the Blockbusters
The studio has been busy planning their projects for next year. They’re focusing on getting their big franchises right. This means the team is figuring out the best turn of events for movies like ‘Avatar’, ‘Alien’, ‘Predator’ and of course, ‘Planet of the Apes’. Their goal? To make sure that every scheduled movie release is as awesome as can be.
The 2027 release window for the new ‘Planet of the Apes’ movie seems fitting as there was a three-year gap between ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ and ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’. There was also a seven-year gap between those movies and this year’s current release, ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’. So, a little more wait won’t hurt, right?
Director’s Vision: A New Trilogy
Director Wes Ball has some pretty cool plans for ‘Planet of the Apes’. He’s dreamed of ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ as the start of a new trilogy, anticipating quite a bit of room for great drama. He hopes to slowly unveil a larger world to us as the series carries on. Fingers crossed!
Ball previously shared his idea where he wants to take the franchise. You can bet there’s loads of drama, conflict and exploration ahead. It’s definitely something we all can look forward to.
Prequel or Sequel?
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ offers an intrigue which picks up decades following ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’. It portrays a tyrannical ape leader building his empire against the shadows of Caesar’s reign. This story creates a thriving ground for future sequels.
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ is basically a prequel and sequel combined. It’s a recipe for an epic show, showing us what happened many generations after Caesar’s reign where apes dominate, and humans merely survive.
Upcoming Installment’s Plot
The upcoming movie, set several years after the events of ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’, has ape clans settling in the oasis that Caesar aimed to colonize. But without their human counterparts, they have gone back to their animalistic ways. The apes are now faced with a battle between enslavement and freedom in a rapidly growing society. Sounds thrilling!
Save the Date!
Mark your calendars for May 10, 2024. It isn’t the sequel, but it is another installment of the ‘Apes’ saga titled ‘No One Can Stop the Reign’. Released by Disney Studios Australia and Twentieth Century Fox, it’s surely going to be a hit.
To Wrap It Up
It looks like we have a lot to look forward to in the coming years from the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise. With a new installment on the horizon and a trilogy in works by the talented director Wes Ball, the wait until 2027 just might be worth it! Stay tuned for more exciting updates.
