Why are there no big names in the cast for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

I swear there are literally no big names in this cast, I haven't heard of single one of the new actors before, and the cast in the Rise/Dawn/War trilogy all had huge stars attached to it so im confused why they did a full 180 on that

What happened to the Gorillas?

I just rewatched War for the Planet of the Apes and I noticed that after all the apes leave in the beginning we don’t see to many Gorillas for the rest of the movie, besides Luca, Winter, and Donkey Gorilla. During the escape scenes there’s none. But we saw a few of them in the beginning and a bunch of them in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. What happened to them all? Did they slowly die out? Were they all executed in the camp?

Rewatched Planet of the Apes (new movies Rise, Dawn, War)

So impressed and thoroughly surprised how well done and emotional these movies are. Especially coming from someone is kind of a film elitist ngl. Once you get past the aspect that most of the movies are cg apes, the story carries itself really well. And though most of the movie is cg apes, the cinematography is really solid and the color grading for the forest scenes is peak. The connection and disarray that is built through sign language is spectacular. I did like War much more than Rise and Dawn. Not super hyped for the new film but I will always appreciate these ones.

Calculating The Ape Migration and specifically where Kingdom for The Planet of The Apes takes place.

Towards the end of War For The Planet of The Apes, we get a montage of the Apes walking through woodland, then mountains, then flat desert, before they finally reach Blue Eye's Land he discovered. In the very original movie we see the Statue of Liberty and thus can assume they walked to literally the other side of the country. That trip is literally over 2,000 miles and in comparison people who do a similar distance on the Appalachian Trail take over 2 months. Just something I thought was interesting, and even more crazy Caesar managed to walk that far being mortally wounded.

Planet Of The Apes 2001 needs a different title

I think it’s kinda dumb that 1968 and 2001 have the same name especially when you actually see the movie and realize the movies are not as similar as they make them out to be! They did it with ghostbusters 2016 so why hasn’t it happened 😂

does anyone know if Dichen Lachman will play a human or an ape?

I've been a huge fan of Dichen Lachman for years...

does anyone know if she'll play a human or an ape in the upcoming movie?

I've seen the original trailer but didn't spot her in it. that doesn't mean anything, though... she might just have a small part. or one they don't want the public to know about ahead of time because it would imply spoilers.

Is there a clean version of this song? Absolutely loved this piece of music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZadWRPgzKPk

It seems like the only officially released version of this song is the 'remix' version with dialogue soundbites in them and totally ruined the song.

Will the Orangutans in the reboot version ever become the corrupt bureaucratic politicians like they were in the original or they will stay as the wise elders for the main protagonist?

Is sign language going to be dead now from kingdom onwards

For the apes of course, we saw primarily sign language used for communication in Rise, Dawn, and War (less so).

But that was of course because most of the apes present in that trilogy were exposed to ALZ 113 throughout their life, having communicated nonverbally for most of their lives.

But now, 300 years later, every ape will have been born sentient and so I think there’s a chance that they all will speak and signing is done for, for the apes.

This will be something I think they can shift to the humans now in some ironic way (I think they did that in the original movies with Taylor and the mute humans? Haven’t seen those yet)

Lmk what you think because I think it’s cool to see them fully embracing verbal communication now with Proximus Caesar in the trailers being a great orator.

Watched the original…

And maybe it’s just because the ending has been spoiled for me, but the last 10-20 minutes just felt like a weird wrap up.

Like don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie and all that. The end just felt a little weird, from when they are in the cave onward.

Also maybe I misheard the first scene, but didn’t they kinda tell you the twist in the first few minutes. Didn’t he say they were headed back for earth?

Mandela Effect In Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes - Caesar & Koba Scene

Not sure if this is been talked about, but just finished re-watching Dawn Of The Planet of the Apes and noticed at the end when Caesar confronts Koba for the last time, he now says 'You Are Not Ape', when it should be 'Koba Not Ape'.
I remember it been 'Koba Not Ape' clearly when i last saw this movie 2-3 years ago.
In fact i kept saying 'Koba not ape' throughout the movie today expecting it to be said as it is the 'climax point' only to be shocked with 'you are not ape'.
Have we indeed jumped timelines from 2-3 years ago till now?.

The POV of Rodney is hilarious

He’s just randomly witnessing an ape uprising and it’s hilarious to me. I’m sorry.

Watching this for the first time. I've been acting as if this movie doesn't exist. Keep me in your prayers.

So there are totally sapient apes living in Africa right?

Since the simian flu infected the human race, wild apes must have come in contact with it and developed sapience and high intelligence. By the time Kingdom starts, surely there are civilizations of apes in Africa. Except they’d have no idea why they suddenly became the most intelligent species on Earth.

I wonder if this will be addressed. In the Kingdom trailers an ape points to humans being able to “speak across oceans” as a major accomplishment that apes could learn from.

Zira Switched

Heads-up. This is a quick rant with a spoiler.

I just finished watching the third movie. The ending made me cry and then I was annoyed. Zira and Cornelius went in about how humans are bad and monsters but they are just as bad to me.

When I realized that she switched babies it made me so angry. So you intentionally put another’s baby in danger so yours can live? I know it’s just a movies but the theme I’m starting to get here is all breathing things are selfish.

What would make a better POTA game

Settle a debate between me and my friend. We were arguing what would be a better format for a theoretical planet of the apes game.

How are there so many apes around San Francisco?

In the most recent trilogy there are seemingly an endless number of chimps. And they die left and right in the fighting. How are there so many? Where do they come from? Are there actually a lot of apes in San Francisco?
