Scooped on Saturday, May 8, 2010
20th Century Fox has announced a release date of June 24, 2011 for Rise of the Apes, the project that was once called Caesar in its development. A prequel/reboot of the studio's Planet of the Apes film franchise, Rise will be directed by Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) from a script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark are producing through Chernin Entertainment.
It was also revealed that the apes will be entirely made using computer graphics, a first for a Planet of the Apes film. The CG will be done by Weta Digital, the studio that created the majority of effects for Avatar and the Lord of the Rings movies.
