| War for the Planet of the Apes: first trailer released | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Like the original 1968-73 series, the new Planet of the Apes films are building into a franchise of quietly significant proportions. War for the Planet of the Apes is the third of the sequel-reboots that followed the Tim Burton remake in 2001: Rise of the Planet of the Apes emerged in 2011, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in 2014. | Like the original 1968-73 series, the new Planet of the Apes films are building into a franchise of quietly significant proportions.

| As its title suggests, War for the Planet of the Apes continues the ape-human conflict that began in Dawn: the trailer footage shows it to be extremely heavy duty, with lots of high-grade weaponry in use. The war looks to be personalised in the forms of Caesar (Andy Serkis again, in motion capture) and the shaven-headed Colonel played by Woody Harrelson. | As its title suggests, War for the Planet of the Apes continues the ape-human conflict that began in Dawn: the trailer footage shows it to be extremely heavy duty, with lots of high-grade weaponry in use.

| The trailer also shows us a kid riding with the apes – presumably played by 12-year-old Amiah Miller – who, making a wild stab in the dark, may be something to do with the photograph the Colonel lays down at one point. Hostage? Runaway? Who knows? | The trailer also shows us a kid riding with the apes – presumably played by 12-year-old Amiah Miller – who, making a wild stab in the dark, may be something to do with the photograph the Colonel lays down at one point.

| Directed by Matt Reeves, returning from Dawn, this looks like it’s going to be a sombre, hardware-heavy affair. | Directed by Matt Reeves, returning from Dawn, this looks like it’s going to be a sombre, hardware-heavy affair. |
