The reboot trilogy is one, if not, the best blockbuster series of the 2010s. Hearing Wes Ball's passion for this film and the franchise as a whole has taken my hype levels to a whole new level!
One OF the best, not "one the best." But yeah, these movies are excellent.

One of the best not one OF the best
One of if not the best one if of one bestest not one
He seems so uncomfortable to be interviewed but as soon as he is able to talk about this project you can feel the passion for film making and this franchise. I have high hopes for this movie.
Pity theater tickets are so expensive.
The vue tickets in the uk are £6
@@kiezkiez1882 Cheaper than renting!
The fact that he talked about Dr. Zaius from the original movie let's me know this guy knows the series
Dude, of course he knows the series....
@@billieboybuddha4238you’d be surprised. The people who are making Mufasa didn’t know Mufasa came from a line of kings. The people who made spin offs for SpongeBob didn’t know he met Sandy as an adult lol. So the fact the creators take heed to the series in this day and age is commendable
That a lie the director of Mufasa pitch the idea of Mufasa to Disney because be is a hughe fan of lion king and the series means alot to him i dont know what you are talking about@@deseann1591
IKR, and Dr. Zaius is such an obscure character. It’s not like he’s a meme that appeared in the Simpsons or anything lol
Shut up wannabe critic go Suck a pipe u loser
you can just tell how passionate he is on poa and the lore. very excited to see this movie.
Yes but sometimes that doesnt mean the movie will end to be good if you look from some other movies with a passionate director..
@@MasterPiece-rg7ed Agreed. Tim Miller was very passionate in interviews for Terminator: Dark Fate and that movie was a letdown, imo. But I think Wes Ball is both passionate for the material AND his past oeuvre is compatible with the Apes tone and storytelling. He's a good choice to pick up after the most recent trilogy.
Planet of the Apes is the one film franchise that truly transcends time. It’s amazing
Exactly. It still holds and is still relevant
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of my FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Truly a masterpiece!!!!!
Man sooo underated
“We name them all Nova”
LMFAO😂😂😂 THATS GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Explain?
@@Daanyaal_ in the Planet of the Apes Franchise, there are multiple female humans named Nova.
Since the first movie, so its been seen as an easter egg / callback to the firstt movie
But now, they cannonized it as “we call them all Nova” is just so funny!!! XD and it makes it all connect
@@igi-chan thanks
There’s only one character named Nova in the Planet of the Apes franchise, who appeared in the novel and the first two movies, but she has now been played by different actresses in two “reimaginings” of the first movie series, so I guess that’s what you meant by “multiple female humans named Nova.”
@@gregbors8364….the deaf girl in War for The Planet of The Apes was named Nova by Maurice..
This guy is clearly so passionate and in love with this franchise. It's in good hands.
As a fan of this franchise, I am excited where we go to a world after Caesar’s region and humanity’s fall to the ALZ-113 epidemic that leaves them back to their primitive state (as we seen the mute human in the OG Planet of the Apes).
💯💯👍👍
Pandemic
Wes Ball really loves this franchise and you can tell
💯💯
The Zelda movie is next
For anyone here who is concerned about this movie due to negative test screenings, my advice is simply to wait until the movie actually comes out because test screenings won't always be indicative of the final quality of a product. In fact, there have even been cases where test screenings have actually had a negative impact on a film, showcasing that sometimes the audiences they choose for the screenings are subpar at best.
This is always a good plan. I'm not going to tell anyone to rush to spend money (not in this economy) on something they're unsure of, but wait till audience reviews are out en masse before writing something off. And at the end of the day even if a lot of people don't like something, you might, and that's fine! Taste is subjective.
yeah the. people they pick off the street might not even be real fans of the series just doing it to see a free movie
Were those even confirmed or just a rumor
@@truenoirproductions3964 rumors by that Jeff Sneider guy who doesn't have the best history with leaks
Yea that a lie Disney don't do test screaning so who ever said that os full of sh-it
Wes is a director that never half-asses anything. If he decides to do a movie it’s because he’s passionate about it and will give it EVERYTHING he has. He puts so much thought behind every decision he makes. And he’s involved in every aspect of the filmmaking process. If I see his name attached to a project I will watch it.
I'm a die-hard fan. This is my favorite franchise by far. I already have tickets for Kingdom. I will not be deterred by other people's reviews. Can't wait till May 8th!
Doesnt it come out on the 10th?
@@PedroRodrigues-zd1zs My local theater has advanced ticket sales. I purchased 2 for Wednesday the 8th.
I agree on the timeline. We gotta see the universe grow before our eyes and the legacy of the characters can be explored.
So stoked to c this the weekend I hope its as epic as it looks
Wes’s passion gives me hope for The Legend of Zelda.
Really good questions, and really good answers!
Brilliant Interview. I love Wes
When this movie announced, even when we got the teaser trailer came out i wasn't a fan of them doing another movie especially with new characters because war felt like the PERFECT ending to everything but i admit now that I've seen the official trailer and got alot more details about the story, villain and characters, I'm alot more on board with it and I'm super excited
Thnx for sharing
Great interview mate
Wow! What a great interview, this guy seems really passionate and excited about what he's created, he definitely didn't phone it in, really looking forward to seeing what he came up with
What a great interview
What a WONDERFUL interview
Since Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Director Wes Ball has taken inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki’s style for directing the Legend of Zelda movie, my hope it has a well established relationship of Link x Princess Zelda’s relationship (where started out at best of friends in the beginning until their journey evolves them into be lovers) and a new iteration of them traveling hyrule together.
Plus, make an original story similar to what the Super Mario Bros Movie has done build by complement and passionate writers, Princess Zelda becomes a great companion to Link, established the Zelda Lore and mythology, other abilities the Master Sword has, provided Ganondorf enough character background ( one where we can all understand the iconic gaming villain’s intentions, how we should hate him and feared of him as the Gerudo King slowly becomes the Demon King), etc.
THE movie that I wait this year
I completely agree about the future of the franchise. There's a HUGE story to tell from the origin of ape intelligence to the original POTA, but directly showing the original POTA isn't a good idea imo. I think it's a much better idea to show everything that leads to POTA, then end it. That'd be perfect.
Despite how visually stunning this reboot series is, I don't think there's any way of redoing the original POTA that'd feel right. For me, the whole point of this series is that they're prequels.
What a wonderful day!
Just shows how Wes is passionate about this project, Matt Reeves is a great director and I've got high hopes for another trilogy from this going to get tickets for opening day can't wait
The film was awesome!❤
I’m so stoked for this movie. Still wish Mouse Guard would have happened though.
Really starting to anticipate this film just rewatched the last set of films really well made movie s Andy series should have gotten an award for his role as ceaser
I’m still going to miss Caesar the last 3 were good movies I’ll watch Kingdom of the planet of the apes if I like it I like it if I don’t like it I don’t like it!
best part is if it’s bad, it’s so separated time wise from those movies that it won’t hurt them
i would love for the story of simian flu in the og films to be explained away as misinformation and misinterpretations pasted down and that the roddy mcdowell and dr zira created their own future by going back in time.
Looking forward to Wes Ball’s follow up to a close to perfect Apes trilogy. Going this thursday with my girlfriend on the biggest screen possible in my area! This will be the event of the summer.. together with Deadpool 3.
But honestly for me, Kingdom of Planet of the Apes comes up on top. Looks very good!
I’ve love the reboot trilogy - especially the Matt Reeves films. I hope this one continues the tone and excellence.
I knew this movie would be a hit when I saw the similarities of the human hunting scenes between the trailer and the 68 version, very hype
Lame Hollywood wannabe reboot woke woman this finna be trash 🗑️ 😑
Hopefully is good! I’m big fan of the planet of the apes. Hopefully doesn’t disappoint.

"WHAT A WONDERFUL DAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!" *CEO torching all the old documents
"We survived..."
Going to be checking out the new movie to see what the director is capable of since he is directing the Loz movie
I can't wait for this movie, but nothing beats my hype for The Legend of Zelda movie this guy is directing.
So is it for sure that it will be a trilogy because he says: “just like this movie does not replace the previous trilogy, it does not replace the fact that someone could still do a standalone story between are three, you know what I mean.”
If this movie is great than I have high hopes for Zelda. Wes is very passionate about filmmaking.
He sneakily leaked that this is the start of a new trilogy
I wanted to be excited about this but I’m feeling the last trilogy is going to be better received
Someone please give this man Mouseguard back.
Bring Steve Zahn back as a motion cap character, he was great !
Did anyone catch the fact he said they are doing another 3 movies ( with The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes already included)? So..their are two more movies folks..ove the next 5-10 years. 11:20
Where did everybody get the 300 years from?
Are you trolling? Pay attention...
Keep in mind he will have a go at The Legend of Zelda Movie, so we should keep an eye on him
Fact Check 5:20 Avatar the Way of Water had 18.5 petabytes
Update: James Cameron Autodesk 2024 interview Avatar 3 (32+ petabytes) around 30:20 mark
Another Update Autodesk took down the video.
☝️🤓
Did he say the apes blew up the statue of liberty?
I thought it was implied that humans had blasted the world. That the ultimate destroyer of man was man.
This is quite a a departure to imply that the apes did it.
i like intence a lot what does he mean (not to intence )
Anyone else noticed how they ignored the 2001 version with mark whalberg
What 2001 version? I have no idea what you're talking about. I highly recommend that nobody go looking for such a movie, or watch anything matching that description.
IKR, and how dare they? I mean, Abe Lincoln was an ape in that movie! Dude… Ape Lincoln! Duuuude!!!
Nova
So he didn’t ask about humans suffering from the Alz-113 or simian flu. Have they said how this was going to be handled?
I am not old but what is that trailer looks fire mean?
It means amazing
It means they lit the trailer on fire
What I want to know is what movies he has under his belt
The Maze Runner trilogy are his highest profile projects. He was developing an animated Mouse Guard Film and his next project is a Legend of Zelda film.
Sounds like he saw what Star Wars did and said "nope"
The doll says "Mama" It was in a cave and Dr. Zaius blow it up.
This movie is going to be on par with Godzilla minus zero.
Is it possible that noa distant direct descendants from Caesar via Cornelius ?or .there is a also possibly that his daughter in law lake was pregnant with blue eyes baby?
i just want to know how that girl can talk
NooooOOOOOOO
pretty sure he hinted that matt reeves will come back to direct cornelius' story
This was always my suspicion too. He had other ideas for that next piece, including a Bad Ape spin off, so it's still very possible he comes back to do more after his Batman trilogy ends.
I'd like to see prequel movie about Cornelius after they do kingdom of planet of apes also I'd like to see andy serkis play Cornelius just like they did with rodd mcdowall?
They wanted to make a new story they didn’t want it with Caesars son
Cornelius is lame asf bro
Imo it'd be very boring since it'd be set not long after war, the apes were still quite primitive.
I want to see when humans become telepathic mutants like in the 1970 beneath the planet of the apes
It’s not far enough in the future,it’s time to go for it … bring on Taylor, and dodge make it now after this one 😂 if you agree like this comment.
I agree i hope they expand more on when Taylor arrives, have him play a bigger role, and kinda change the ending of the originals,
😮😮🎉
The 2001 movie does not exist, except for Tim Roth's really good performance.
He's the only reason its watchable.
And Estella Warren
…and Ape Lincoln
Honestly everything sounds really good and promising but i think two things that concern me would be the fact of the choosen lens that could maybe make the cgi look a little off and the themes of the film as he said where a kid could enjoy it i just hope they kinda keep the more adult and serious tone as for example in war for the planet of the apes some of the tryd comedy bits didn't land well and kinda distracted
Shooting on an older lense is perfect. Movies these days look way too CGI compared to movies before 2010
True, ruins the whole atmosphere, this why they cant make good historical movies anymore either, its all too 'neat'...
I wish they wouldnt have done the big time jump tho. Should have continued with the Nova from the previous movie and Ceasar's son. Also, missed chance because you could have had gold in your hands with Bad Ape!
What made Reeves trilogy so successful was watching how the apes evolved. Jumping so far into the future makes it less grounded and more sci-fi… I dislike that approach and I hate that we’ll never get to see Cornelius’ growth into a leader and how he might’ve led the apes into a better world. There’s no redemption for Caesar without that.
This is too big of a leap. I don’t know how I’ll feel.
On top of all that, Disney owns the property which means a family-friendlier approach. Worse than that even is Wes Ball. His last 3 films (his only films) which are adaptations of pre-teen novels are all rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. Why put such a beloved franchise into the hands of a failure, If not that a novice…?
5:27 Nah 😂
It’s either a straight up lie or just a bad job.
Fact check- Actually War came out about SEVEN years not five. How did he fub that up😵
He meant as in before the pandemic n all that shit it wouldve been 5 years
Five years since Kingdom entered development is what he meant
@@cinemavalanche So Kingdom of Planet of the apes took 5 years of development???!!!
@@CrimsonRoblox mhhmm. I have my faith in Wes Ball for this one.
@@cinemavalanche It's a 2 hr 30mins movie. I hope it's a masterpiece. I thought it would be like 2 hrs 45 mins or almost 3 hrs or 3 hrs movie knowing it took 5 years of development. Looking at Avatar The way of water took 13 years of development and runtime was 3hrs 12mins
When watching the trailer I'm like its so much like the original looks so much like it but not quite there yet lo! Apes obviously loom way better than original these are apes those were just guys in suits lol
Damn they should of followed up on Caesar’s last son , Cornelius
True, Cornelius and girl Noa from the previous movie. Also, missed chance cause you could have had gold in your hands with Bad Ape!
What if they reverse it and humans take back over that be wild by the end of this trilogy the human race is back haha
I don’t know. It feels like several steps backwards from the ‘real-world’ feel of the Reeves films. The director sounds like a hired-hand. Also the CGI doesn’t look as convincing. I’ll reserve final judgement til I see it but I’m not excited.
The cgi is fine, it’s just that the good apes look more human and thus, less real.
Also, why is matt reeves getting all the credit for these movies? If one person deserves credit for this trilogy, it’s mark bomback, he helped write all 3 films, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda silver creating the overall story in Rise. Matt reeves helped a lot with the sequels but he’s not the mastermind of the series. Anyway, idk why I wrote all that, since everyone’s ignoring it…
This movie finna bomb 💣 I bet it gets a razzie
😂😂first question reveals the lack of research for the director of the hosts most anticipated film of the year. Cringe😂😂😂😂😂
Go back watch movies from 1932
The Planet of the Apes fans are asking for a return of the silicone masks and ape suits.
That fans should get their head examined
No we are not
Good. Any moron can do shitty motion capture performances that could easily be done on a computer as is. But Maurice, Roddy and Kim in ape masks and make up had to work 10 times harder to sell their performances and emotion. I'm all for the old school Apes, since they felt more real.
@dailyDosageofEng You should get a CT scan for your head. The CG apes look and are 100% fake. The Apes in the original 5 films, the TV series and 2001 Burton Apes felt more real. They're EVOLVED Apes that walk and sound more human. The CG Apes look and move unnaturally in the trilogy and them talking like cavemen isn't true to the classic Apes feel.
Is it just me or are movies kinda going back to not having to be woke? I’m looking forward to a lot of movies this year
this movie better be good no woke crap and disney messeges
That’s what I’m afraid of
A non-binary muslim chimpansee identifying as a black lesbian giraffe would be a cool character
It already is looks like Prey 😂 woke woman America for life bruh
What a loser! WOKE= if the main character is not a white male, hatred for everyone else
No, really, when are you guys going to come up with something original?
There are original movies coming out every single year that are bombing because nobody is seeing them because they're not continuations of an IP people recognize. Go and see them.
He comes across a …. Initially.
Almost gave up watching.
Hope it’s good film, as far as selling this he is awful
this movie sounds like its gonna suck
They doing the woke women 😔 Hollywood played out
Hollywood did mostly or only white males thing for over 90 years
Wes ball is a great director hes the only director that made a film that ive wanted to see for 24 years
"That trailer looks fire, bruh." -a forty year old
