Earlier this week we learned that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/02\/20\/zero-dark-thirtys-jason-clarke-signed-for-dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes\/\" target=\"_blank\">the studio had cast<\/a> <strong>Zero Dark Thirty<\/strong> star Jason Clarke for a role in their sequel to the franchise relaunch <strong>Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes<\/strong>. Now a second new cast member has been added to the film &#8211; Kodi Smit-McPhee.<\/p>\n<p>Smit-McPhee may not be a familiar face to many moviegoers, though they may recognize his voice from last summer&#8217;s <strong>ParaNorman<\/strong>, where he played the lead. He also has appeared in Ari Folman\u2019s <strong>The Congress<\/strong> with Robin Wright, Paul Giamatti and Harvey Keitel, Michael J. Johnson\u2019s <strong>The Wilderness Of James<\/strong> with Isabel Furman, Virginia Madsen, and Evan Ross and <strong>A Birder\u2019s Guide To Everything<\/strong> with Sir Ben Kingsley.<\/p>\n<p>The film will take place 15 years after the events of Rise sparked the release of a genetic serum that proved deadly to most humans but which boasted the intelligence in primates. Part of the story will focus on a group of scientists in San Fransisco while another part will focus on original augmented chimp Caesar (Andy Serkis, returning from the first film) to keep control of his new kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cloverfield<\/strong>&#8216;s Matt Reeves is set to direct with production slated for later this spring in order to meet a May 23, 2014 release date.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2013\/02\/dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-casts-kodi-smit-mcphee\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">A second new cast member has been announced for the sequel.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/02\/23\/kodi-smit-mcphee-lands-dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-role\/\" title=\"Kodi Smit-McPhee Lands DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Role\">[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":[5234,6191],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes","8":"tag-kodi-smit-mcphee"},"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\/26767","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=26767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26767\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26767"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=26767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
