I have to wonder if anyone has told director Rupert Wyatt or star Andy Serkis?<\/p>\n<p>Given the film&#8217;s box office last summer (nearly $482 million worldwide according to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/movies\/?id=riseoftheapes.htm\" target=\"_blank\"> Box Office Mojo<\/a>), it is a natural that Fox would want a follow up. And screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/08\/14\/will-a-new-planet-of-the-apes-trilogy-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\">stated<\/a> that they have ideas of how to flesh a sequel out into a middle installment of a trilogy. Presumably, they are currently working on that right now.<\/p>\n<p>Although he has often mentioned he is looking forward to directing a follow up, there has not been any official word that Wyatt has been signed by the studio. He <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/04\/23\/wyatt-and-therons-agent-13-finds-a-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">just got<\/a> Universal to pony up the money for his project <strong>Agent 13<\/strong>, which will star Charlize Theron, but that will probably take some work before it is able to go in front of cameras. Meanwhile, star Andy Serkis is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/04\/07\/serkis-to-serve-as-hobbit-second-unit-director\/\" target=\"_blank\">off in New Zealand<\/a> directing second unit and reprising his role of Gollum for Peter Jackson&#8217;s <strong>The Hobbit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now if this isn&#8217;t just a case of Fox talking big without anything concrete to back up their plans, then hopefully there has been some behind-the-scenes, hush-hush talks going on to line up the talent to make their hoped for schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Will we  see what happens after Apes rise as early as next summer?<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/04\/27\/fox-plans-on-next-apes-film-to-start-shooting-by-end-of-summer\/\" title=\"Fox Plans On Next APES Film To Start Shooting By End Of Summer\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20023","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20023\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20023"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=20023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
