James Franco has been busy of late. Outside of hosting the Oscars this Sunday night, he has earned lots of recognition for his recent film 127 Hours (the film has been nominated for 'Best Picture' category, and the actor himself has earned a nomination for 'Actor in a Leading Role') at the awards.
It is also rumored that Franco will also play the wizard in the upcoming Sam Raimi directed, Oz: The Great and Powerful. But there is tons of anticipation on his (apetastic)upcoming flick- Rise of the Apes- the story will be a prequel /origin story to the popular franchise Planet of the Apes.
Franco, plays scientist Will Rodman, whose experiments on the ape Caesar (Andy Serkis) will lead to apes with prescience, and, eventually to the war between mankind and apes over world domination. Apparently this film will depart from the original, in that the apes will be CG.
JoBlo debuted this first look. What do you think about this movie? Do you think CG apes will work? I am totally psyched to see this ape apocalypse film!
