Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is the upcoming film that will lead to a reboot for the new Planet of the Apes series. The film stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis, and John Lithgow. Look for it in theaters on August 5th. For more info, visit the Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes official website.

Will Rodman (James Franco), currently residing in San Francisco, is working on a cure for Alzheimer’s by performing tests on apes. The first test subject is a chimpanzee, named Caesar (Andy Serkis), whose parents had been captured in Africa.[5] Rodman’s “cure” genetically modifies Caesar’s way of thinking to create a new breed of ape with human-like intelligence. Caesar learns well, but human authority continues to test him and contain him. However, he eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage and release the cure among millions of other apes (the ones that are caged with him), increasing their intelligence, like Caesar. Millions of apes begin to foment revolution. Soon, war breaks out between humans and apes. Rodman may be the only one able to stop them before the ape revolution ends with the apes succeeding and then becoming the most dominant species on this planet. [Wiki]
