number 10 Pet Sounds although the
previous film series use the now iconic
8 make up which earned John Chambers an
honorary Oscar we can all agree that for
the reboots makeup would not cut it the
21st century series therefore took
advantage of the insane technological

there was supposed to be a video game to
accompany the third film in the

it’s it’s very much a feel like an
interactive movie as Circus explained it
he was recording motion capture segments
specifically for the game which would
feel like an interactive movie but sadly
while he’d mentioned the game would be
released around the same time as the
summer 2017 blockbuster there’d be no
word on the subject by the time the film
hit theaters
number eight the return of the simian
flu alz-112 a gene therapy allows the
brain to create its own cells in order
to repair itself
the simian flu gave Apes their
intelligence and almost wiped out the
human race as seen in the first film
Rise of the Planet of the Apes the alz
drug it resulted from was originally
developed to combat Alzheimer’s
unfortunately things went south very
quickly and now we have Apes on
horseback with machine guns the
producers told IGN to in the third film
the virus is mutated and will be making
a big comeback they didn’t reveal much
however they did explain that the flu
continued to affect both humans and apes
in various ways now twelve years after
the initial outbreak human gets sick
eight gets me number seven epic scope we
are not savages

Reeves had epic plans for the third film

millimeter according to reach his team
the idea was to give the film the
grandiose and sweeping scope of epic
westerns or historical dramas a huge
inspiration being David Lean’s Lawrence
of Arabia this style would be required
to correctly capture the desolate and
breathtaking landscapes of the film as
well as the huge battle sequences we
should be expecting there are times when
it is necessary to abandon our you
managed to stay
number six Alpha Omega you know what
this looks like a bomb shelter maybe a
couple hundred years old the original
series included five feature films and
two short-lived TV series and of course
the filmmakers behind the new franchise
are fans this can be seen in many
homages and easter eggs most notably in
certain character names a great example
in war for the Planet of the Apes is the
name given to the human rebel group
Alpha Omega big ape fans will recognize
this as the name of the bomb that’s
worshipped by the underground mutants in
the original sequel beneath the Planet
of the Apes Laurie be to the bomb and to
the holy fallout as it was in the

fitting name for this group of humans as
Alpha and Omega represent the beginning

doomsday bomb I got a lovely souvenir
from the 20th century
number five unique marketing campaigns
[Music]
shooting to the latest entry began in
late 2015 with an expected summer 2016
release however the release date was
pushed back a year to summer 2017 with
three years between releases a franchise
needs to keep its fanbase engaged viral
marketing was employed to the first
films of the series fake public service
announcements were released as were
videos of apes doing remarkable things
like the now infamous clip of the monkey
taking control of a machine gun for war
for the Planet of the Apes however
filmmakers announced a contest allowing
fans to Don motion capture suits on set
and join the uprising themselves no
mercy no number for Cobras origins Koba
I am well one of the great boots series
most interesting characters is the
cruelly treated Koba his inclusion shows
a contrasting perspective on the human
ape relationship to Cesar’s who grew up
in a loving human home Caesar love
humans Koba scheming and manipulating is
on full display in the second film where
he tried his best to get the Apes to
adopt his hatred and fear of humans and
to attack them not by accident Koba was
named after political theorist and
communist revolutionary Josef Stalin who
adopted the nickname Koba from one of
his favorite books the patricide the
character of Koba in the book is a
bandit who appropriately believes in
vengeance
fights for the pork and shows contempt
for authority
number three it’s not over yet Zerbe is
October 2016 almost a year before we
would be able to see the third film in
the franchise it was confirmed that a
fourth film was already being developed
it seems that the success of the series
had the studio and production team
confident enough to already begin
thinking about what the next film would
be director Matt Reeves and producer
Dylan Clark confirmed with Slash film
during an interview that they already
had some concrete ideas about where the
story will go following war for the
Planet of the Apes hinting that Caesar
has a lot of character development ahead
of him number two in fact there’s no end
in sight Oh
when Rise of the Planet of the Apes was
announced audiences were a bit skeptical
not only is the common belief that
classics should not be messed with
but the 2001 Tim Burton remake garnered
a lot of negative criticism there was
some emotion Sulaiman job there for the
huge critical and box-office success of
rise was a welcome surprise
Edd’s was the above-average sequel a few
years later when the third movie was
announced the production teams stressed
that this will not be a trilogy although
the idea is to eventually link the
prequel series to the original 1968 film
producer Dylan Clark confirmed with den
of geek that they still have many
stories to tell together
number one rise of the apocalypse bad
ape
[Music]
according to the team behind war for the
planet of the eight including Andy
Serkis himself we can expect quite a
brutal film with some cataclysmic events
plaguing circuses Caesar as the title
implies we are moving away from the
rebellions and closer to all-out war
therefore with a plot mapped out it
seems like the classic war film
Apocalypse Now was a major influence on
the themes and styles of this summer
blockbuster horror and moral terror
hello friends as producer Dylan Clark
has explained the insane Colonel Kurtz
played by Marlon Brando in Apocalypse
Now was a direct influence on Woody
Harrelson’s military leader of the human
faction with the colonel on one side and
Caesar on the other this should be quite
the war we will bring it in to their car
