Franco will play a scientist in contemporary San Francisco who gets caught between humanity and a batch of genetically-altered intelligent apes. Fox has recently fast-tracked the film, which will be directed by Rupert Wyatt, for a June 24, 2011 release. Cameras are scheduled to begin rolling July 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than use humans in makeup, this new version will utilize apes created through computer imagery and animated via motion capture performance. Peter Jackson&#8217;s WETA Digital will be providing the work.<\/p>\n<p>Fox has been making a priority of restarting their <strong>Planet Of The Apes<\/strong> franchise for some time now. But instead of making a direct remake of the classic 1968 film &#8211; we saw how well that went for Tim Burton in 2001 &#8211; the studio has been keen on starting off with an &#8220;origin story&#8221; of sorts, showing exactly how apes came to rule over humans, but without the time travel and pre-destination elements of the franchise&#8217;s <strong>Escape From The Planet Of The Apes<\/strong> and <strong>Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes<\/strong>. After many attempts, it seems as if studio brass are happy with the script from Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa to finally pull the trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2010\/05\/exclusive-james-franco-in-talks-to-star-in-fox-prequel-rise-of-the-apes\/#more-43201\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">James Franco is reportedly in talks to headline Twentieth Century Fox&#8217;s Planet Of The Apes reboot, Rise Of The Apes.
