Another couple of BTS pics from Matt Reeves’ ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ have been unveiled over at Empire. Once more they feature many of the main players kitted out in their motion capture uniforms ready for those tech wizards to overlay their monkey artistry over the top. The first of which comes with a brief description from star Andy Serkis (Caesar) which you can read below. The second snap features a group of MoCappers including another look at Toby Kebbell who plays Koba in the follow-up. The movie also stars Jason Clarke (‘Zero Dark Thirty’), Gary Oldman (‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’), Keri Russell (‘Dark Skies’) Kodi Smit-McPhee (‘ParaNorman’), Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo (‘Fringe’) and Judy Greer (‘Archer’). Check out the new pics below.
Here’s Serkis’s description explaining the first shot:
“This is now a community of about 2,000 apes. For the first eight years [after the humanity-devastating virus], the apes were looking down from Muir Woods to San Francisco and could see lights and fires, but now it’s gone very quiet. Until this day in our film when this small band of humans comes up. That’s suddenly a huge, dividing moment in the lives of these apes. There are some particularly strong reactions to the humans and that’s the course of the story.”
‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ opens on 11 July 2014.
