Director Wes Ball (who is also now involved in the live-action Zelda movies) has a surprising but compelling line for War for the Planet of the Apes.
As we enter 2024, marketing is about to begin for the next film, War for the Planet of the Apes, which will kick off a new storyline for the long-running sci-fi franchise, and Empire’s latest issue includes a lot of information about the film New details on the filming location and how it was developed.

Their conversations with Ball and his team got off to a good start, with the filmmaker revealing that he “had so many ideas” once he figured out the basic tone: “Ape Apocalypse.” Any comparison to a historical epic would seem crazy, but mentioning Mel Gibson’s ruthless, gory, one-of-a-kind 2006 film should make everyone’s ears perk up. The film depicts “a ferocious journey through the dangerous jungles of Yucatan in the early 1500s.” In the film, a young man named Jaguar Paw is a deceased Central American hunter. He and his fellow tribesmen are c aptured by the invaders and taken to a Mayan city for human sacrifice.
Now we know that War for the Planet of the Apes will follow young ape hero Noah (Owen Teague) as he embarks on a perilous journey that will take him to a land dominated by the evil tyrant Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), we see where Bauer comes from. Still, we don’t expect the tone and violence to be as scary and heavy as War for the Planet of the Apes, which is still a staple of the franchise.
However, if you stop and think about it, this angle feels logical. After all, the last War for the Planet of the Apes trilogy went from a simple sci-fi movie to a post-apocalyptic western to a shocking finale about the unseen horrors of war. . While these movies are still PG-13, they aren’t enjoyable adventures for the whole family. 20th Century Studios’ War for the Planet of the Apes seems to continue that spirit, instantly making it one of the most intriguing big-budget projects in Disney’s release schedule over the next few years.
