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!

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.

The fact that he talked about Dr. Zaius from the original movie let's me know this guy knows the series

Planet of the Apes is the one film franchise that truly transcends time. It’s amazing

you can just tell how passionate he is on poa and the lore. very excited to see this movie.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of my FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!!! Truly a masterpiece!!!!!

“We name them all Nova” LMFAO😂😂😂 THATS GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

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).

Wes Ball really loves this franchise and you can tell

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.

I agree on the timeline. We gotta see the universe grow before our eyes and the legacy of the characters can be explored.

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!

So stoked to c this the weekend I hope its as epic as it looks

Really good questions, and really good answers!

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

Brilliant Interview. I love Wes

Great interview mate

Thnx for sharing

What a wonderful day!

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

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

Wes’s passion gives me hope for The Legend of Zelda.

What a great interview

THE movie that I wait this year

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.

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.

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 so stoked for this movie. Still wish Mouse Guard would have happened though.

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 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

I’ve love the reboot trilogy - especially the Matt Reeves films. I hope this one continues the tone and excellence.

Hopefully is good! I’m big fan of the planet of the apes. Hopefully doesn’t disappoint.

Going to be checking out the new movie to see what the director is capable of since he is directing the Loz movie

"We survived a ... regime change at the studio" *flashbacks "WHAT A WONDERFUL DAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!" *CEO torching all the old documents "We survived..."

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!

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.”

I can't wait for this movie, but nothing beats my hype for The Legend of Zelda movie this guy is directing.

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.

If this movie is great than I have high hopes for Zelda. Wes is very passionate about filmmaking.

I wanted to be excited about this but I’m feeling the last trilogy is going to be better received

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

Someone please give this man Mouseguard back.

He sneakily leaked that this is the start of a new trilogy

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.

What I want to know is what movies he has under his belt

Keep in mind he will have a go at The Legend of Zelda Movie, so we should keep an eye on him

Where did everybody get the 300 years from?

Anyone else noticed how they ignored the 2001 version with mark whalberg

The doll says "Mama" It was in a cave and Dr. Zaius blow it up.

pretty sure he hinted that matt reeves will come back to direct cornelius' story

i like intence a lot what does he mean (not to intence )

Nova

I am not old but what is that trailer looks fire mean?

Sounds like he saw what Star Wars did and said "nope"

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?

This movie is going to be on par with Godzilla minus zero.

The 2001 movie does not exist, except for Tim Roth's really good performance.

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 want to see when humans become telepathic mutants like in the 1970 beneath the planet of the apes

Shooting on an older lense is perfect. Movies these days look way too CGI compared to movies before 2010

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.

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

😮😮🎉

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!

i just want to know how that girl can talk

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😵

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

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

Damn they should of followed up on Caesar’s last son , Cornelius

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.

😂😂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.

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

He comes across a …. Initially. Almost gave up watching. Hope it’s good film, as far as selling this he is awful

this movie better be good no woke crap and disney messeges

No, really, when are you guys going to come up with something original?

this movie sounds like its gonna suck

They doing the woke women 😔 Hollywood played out

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
