"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" featured a fun nod to the original "Apes" series in the form of a cameo for wayward astronaut George Taylor ( Charlton Heston's character) and the doomed ship Icarus.

The third movie will focus a great deal on Caesar's growing sense of disillusionment as he deals with mounting casualties and comes to understand that apes are just as skilled as humans when it comes to treachery.ĥ. Sure, the previous two "Apes" movies were pretty dark, but things look to be taking an even darker turn in "War," as the war for survival becomes more heated. The Colonel sees humanity as being on the brink of extinction following its long war with apes, and he'll do whatever is necessary to ensure the survival of his species.Ĥ. Don't expect return appearances from James Franco's Will Rodman from "Rise" or Jason Clarke's Malcolm and his family from "Dawn." Instead, Woody Harrelson's "The Colonel" is the main human character this time around. "War" will continue the series' trend of starting from scratch where its human cast is concerned. Red (Ty Olsson) is a gorilla who once followed Koba and now sides with humanity against his ape brethren.ģ. There will also be new ape villains to fill the void left by the treacherous Koba. Several of Caesar's ape friends and family will also return, including wife Cornelia ( Judy Greer), son Blue Eyes ( Max Lloyd-Jones), and friend/adviser Maurice ( Karin Konoval). This sequel will, again, center on super-intelligent chimpanzee Caesar ( Andy Serkis) as he attempts to lead his ape family while dealing with the ongoing threat posed by humanity. It builds on the groundwork established in 2011's " Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and 2014's " Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," taking place roughly two years after the previous movie. "War for the Planet of the Apes" is the third entry in Fox's latest reboot series. It can be hard to keep track of how the various " Planet of the Apes" movies fit together, given that the franchise has been rebooted more than once. Here's everything you need to know before heading to the theater this weekend.ġ. But if you're not sure where "War" fits into the overall "Apes" picture, we're here to help. ape will push the story in an even darker direction.

As with the previous installments, the whole movie revolves around them, and the audience's ability to identify with them as real, breathing characters." War for the Planet of the Apes" is the latest big-budget sequel to hit theaters this summer, and the third entry in the ongoing saga of man vs. We had a huge variety of work to cover in this one, from huge full-CG environments to incredibly detailed FX simulations, but the core of the work was on the apes themselves. Joe Letteri - Weta Digital Senior Visual Effects Supervisor. Now we have pushed that all into the software, which behaves as if you were outside in the real world photographing nature. When we did Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the techniques that we had for lighting fur were approximate.

The level of detail put into the fur grooms, particularly when it came to the interaction of the elements, was far greater than previous films, allowing for the complicated clumping and distribution of snow throughout the fur that visually anchored the CG apes in shot.

Improvements to the lighting pipeline were also beneficial when it came to interactive snow on skin and fur. This understanding of the physics of lighting captured on set, allowed for natural integration between live-action and rendered elements and a much greater level of realism. Using their proprietary path-tracer Manuka, and a new suite of tools called PhysLight, they were able to accurately model light energy at each wavelength and propagate it throughout the virtual scene, matching the exact response of the live action camera. Along with the captured motion onset, their new lighting pipeline tools were able to take full advantage of the lighting reference onset. Weta Digital has pushed their onset performance capture technology further than ever before, using it in extreme conditions including mud, rain and snow.

There is some fantastic acting that the performers did on-set and the animators at Weta Digital were able to carry across onto the digital characters.
