    Сast and Crew

    Production

    In 2006, screenwriter-producer Rick Jaffa was searching for a script idea. As Jaffa searched a newspaper articles clipping, one about pet chimpanzees that become troublesome to their owners and heartbroken for not adapting well to the human environment intrigued him. As Jaffa eventually realized it fit the Planet of the Apes series, he called his wife and screenwriting partner Amanda Silver to express his ideas of such a chimpanzee eventually starting the ape revolution, and then the couple started developing the character of Caesar. Jaffa indicated that "it's a reinvention" and if he had to pick between calling it a prequel or a reboot he would say it is a reboot: "It's a different story of who Caesar is, and how he came to be. So it's really kind of hard to put a label on it. We are hopefully rebooting it." He went on to say that "we tried really hard to create a story that would stand on its own and yet also pay homage and honor the movies that came before us." Jaffa and Silver then wrote a script and sold it to Fox, producers of the Apes franchise. The script added other elements which the couple had researched, such as genetic engineering. Several tributes to specific scenes, characters, and cast and crew from the previous Apes film series were added in the script. In particular, Caesar's treatment at the primate sanctuary parallels Taylor's treatment as a captive in the original film.

    A powerful film about the consequences a good deed can lead to. A film about a monkey named Caesar, who changed more than one life. You sympathize with animals more than people. I recommend it to connoisseurs of the genre and good cinema. Health and goodness to everyone! Translated to English

    Awesome movie, actors, graphics are all at the highest level. It wasn’t boring. Translated to English

    It’s hard to call this film a remake of Planet of the Apes . The pictures are completely different, the only thing they have in common is intelligent monkeys at the center of the plot. Before the Harry Potter franchise ends, Felton is again invited to play the role of the bastard. How people love to walk off the beaten path. Translated to English

    When you empathize with animals more than with humans. And how a good deed and the desire to help loved ones leads to irreversible consequences. Great post-credits scene. Translated to English
