Director Wes Ball says the latest installment in the Planet of the Apes saga will depart from the somber tones of the previous trilogy, starting over with a new story of a quest-driven hero’s journey.Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will attempt to bridge the gap between Caesar’s prequel trilogy and the timeline of the 1968 Planet of the Apes movie. This is arguably the most critical junction of the movie franchise yet, as it offers promising potential to explore the lore while risking serious missteps in the story. In an interview with Empire, director Wes Ball revealed his creative treatment for the new sequel, which as it turns out will be tonally different from the darker, tragic themes of the previous trilogy. He said the movie will adapt adventure themes from another epic saga – the Star Wars story.”When I first started on it, I said, ‘I feel like Apes needs a little bit of Star Wars’,” he confessed. “It’s all still very grounded in reality, but it is essentially a quest narrative. Our main character – the young, impressionable Noa – meets characters along the way and becomes awakened as he winds up in a place that will test him, and he ultimately becomes his true self.” Noa, who is voiced by Owen Teague, is a young chimpanzee born generations after Caesar; his story will effectively follow a new arc significantly impacted by Caesar’s legacy. Ball also cited 2006’s Apocalypto as an inspiration for the movie, hinting at the sequel’s more mature themes.10 Best Planet of the Apes Characters, Ranked
