War for the Planet of the Apes producer Peter Chernin explains why the upcoming film concludes Caesar’s story.
The series continued with Matt Reeves’ sequel in 2014, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and advances this year with Reeves’ next chapter, War for the Planet of the Apes.
Twentieth Century Fox took a different approach with the Planet of the Apes story when they rebooted the franchise in 2011, with Rupert Wyatt’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
That notion is backed by a recent teaser that included a voiceover from original Planet of the Apes star Charlton Heston.
