New Planet Of The Apes Movie Could Begin Production This Year
Fans of Planet of the Apes rejoice, as a new entry in the classic series is planned to begin production this year. The news was confirmed by the president of 20th Century Studios himself.
The original Planet of the Apes is still one of the finest science fiction films ever made. With its clever social commentary, Charlton Heston's brilliant performance, and an unforgettable twist ending, it will always be a classic. It spawned four sequels, creating a run that's admittedly uneven, but wonderful at its best.

Now, a new Planet of the Apes film will be directed by The Maze Runner's Wes Ball, with a script by him and Josh Friedman, writer of Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds remake. Ball has stated the film will not be a reboot, and that «Caesar's legacy will continue,» referring to the recent trilogy of prequels. Presumably, the new film will pick up where thePlanet of the Apes reboot series left off and provide a bridge to the original saga. «We are expecting a draft very shortly… We hope to go by the late summer, early fall,» said 20th Century Studios President Steven Asbell to The Hollywood Reporter.
There's been four Planet of the Apes entries since 1973. The first was Tim Burton's remake, which was probably the biggest misstep in his career. But from 2011 to 2017, the reboot trilogy completely revived the franchise. Focusing almost entirely on the apes, it's some of the most compelling dystopian sci-fi in years. The motion capture on these movies alone was downright revolutionary. The latter two films were directed by The Batman director Matt Reeves, and he did a great job, as this is the rare trilogy that sticks the landing.
