- RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
 |
| Gary Oldman |
It looks like things are starting to move forward on Matt
Reeves' upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. In addition to the returning
Andy Serkis, recent reports name Jason Clarke and Kodi Smit-McPhee as two of
the sequel's principal cast.
ComingSoon.net now reports that Gary Oldman will be boarding
the project as the leader of a human colony.
Set 15 years after the events of Rise of the Planet of the
Apes, Dawn finds most of humanity wiped out and the intelligent apes ruling
over the world. Part of the film's focus is said to be on a small group of San
Francisco-based scientists that are forming a resistance against the apes and
part follows Serkis' Caesar as he, like his namesake, tries to maintain order
and power within his new civilization.
Oldman recently starred in John Hillcoat's Lawless and
reprised his role as Commissioner Gordon in The Dark Knight Rises. He can be
seen later this year in Robert Luketic's Paranoia and early next year in Jose
Padilha's RoboCop.
Featuring a screenplay by Mark Bomback, Dawn of the Planet
of the Apes starts filming this spring for a May 23, 2014 release. Peter
Chernin, Dylan Clarke, Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa are producing.
