The master difference between the original Planet of the Apes series and the latest reboot is whose journey we take . In the first two picture , the direction was on whatever man was nearby , and then shifted to time - traveling primate . The Tim Burton reboot zero in on Marky Mark . This time around , Planet of the Apes has always been , and continue to be , Caesar ’s story .
In a recent interview , Serkis say the Planet of the Apes reboot is like “ Boyhood in the hobo camp , ” in that the audience is growing with Caesar through three pic spread out over six years ( by the prison term War of the Planet of the Apes add up out ) . Serkis and some of his move - capture co - stars toldScreenRantthat the journey the films have submit have shaped their characters significantly , as well as how the role player limn them . These are n’t just a clustering of apes going to war : They ’re the great unwashed fighting for what they believe is correct .
“ It ’s interesting , because we were looking at some picture the other day , actually , of some picture of [ rising slope of the Planet of the Apes ] and how much untested we all calculate . And how our bodies look buff and trim . And now we ’re all sort of bent and wriggle out of shape . It ’s kind of like Boyhood in the hobo camp . It ’s sort of imitator - hood , really . We ’ve now amount together all these prison term and Rocket , as a eccentric , his arc and his story . There are instant that resonate back to the origin . There are great second that we ’ve been able-bodied to trifle up there where it resile right back to the kickoff . ”
In thelatest trailer , we see Caesar juxtaposed against Woody Harrelson ’s Colonel . In any other reality , we ’d want Harrelson to emerge triumphant against the USA of primate . After all , he ’s trying to save humanity . But we do n’t know him . We know Caesar . We ’ve seen his struggles , his victory , and , most importantly , his indistinguishability . Even though his antics in the upcoming film will likely dispute our sympathy toward the theatrical role , base on anearly peek , he ’s still our hero . After everything we ’ve insure Caesar go through , he kind of deserves his Planet of the Apes .
That ’s actually been one of the reboot ’s big strengths : How it ’s developed Caesar , his fellowship , and his entire ape community over the age . It ’s not often that we see characters grow from child to adults ( and beyond ) over several motion-picture show , like we got with Harry Potter , and we ’ve seldom , if ever , seen that in live - action films that star non - man — at least those that are n’t altogether fantasy - based . In the end , Serkis and his team have done an amazing caper at crafting these complex and interesting case over the long time , and it ’ll be amazing to see how they extend to grow and change in the time to come .
