Empire magazine has released some new information about War for the Planet of the Apes. Although it borrows from the previous trilogy, "War for the Planet of the Apes" is a new beginning, ushering in a new era of Planet of the Apes.
"War for the Planet of the Apes" does not follow the plot of Caesar's death in "War for the Planet of the Apes". The film, directed by Wes Ball, is set roughly 300 years after Caesar brought his people to their promised land—with all that time passing, his legendary leadership skills have been largely forgotten. Time forgets.
However, it is Caesar's legacy and the spirit of "we are strong together" that inspires Noah, the new hero of "War for the Planet of the Apes". Owen Teague, who plays the character, said of Caesar: "Noah doesn't know who he is. Part of his journey is discovering this legacy and its different interpretations. Noah has to figure out what it all means."
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" is a brand new work, and there is a larger story about to unfold.
"We've been looking at this as a trilogy from the beginning," director Ball said. "We have some great ideas about where it might eventually go and how it fits into the legacy of these films. So I'm working on it right now with ( production company) to discuss the next story."
