It’s starting to become a busy time in the ape world as four new character posters have debuted for the July 11th, 2014 release of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. After moving up a week to take an expected vacated spot by Fast & Furious 7, we now get a look at Caesar and a few of his friends as they’re definitely gearing up for war. The film is being directed by Matt Reeves and will star Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke and Keri Russell. It has a $120 million budget, a nearly $30 million increase over Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but expected as that film brought in nearly $480 million theatrically worldwide and was a surprise hit for many.
Plot concept: A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
