Filming just began in New Orleans and director Matt Reeves is treating/teasing fans via Twitter with this first look at Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) on a horse in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It’s a behind-the-scenes shot and seems to show Caesar has either stumbled upon or is traveling with a group of humans. Interesting.
Heading to theaters May 23, 2014, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes stars Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Toby Kebbell, Keri Russell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo, and Judy Greer.
The Plot: A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
