A new trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes was released today, and it basically expands upon the footage in the first trailer, using many of the same scenes of James Franco expositing about miracle drugs, super-smart apes, etc. What's different, however, is that this trailer has a veritable ballsload of footage of apes absolutely wrecking shit.
The main chimpanzee, Caesar, a slew of other chimps, an army of gorillas, and even some orangutans in the background - there are a ballsload of primates in this trailer, and they all look fantastic. Especially impressive are Caesar's humanlike facial expressions, as despite not saying a word, he emotes about a thousand times better than the cast of Twilight combined. We guess that's not saying much, but still: They're really impressive.
One thing we're a little confused on, however, is why the brainiacs in charge decided that this movie didn't need any Siamangs.
Get a load of that crazy neck-sac-thing!
Rise of the Planet of the Apes comes out on August 5, 2011, and stars Franco, John Lithgow, Freida Pinto and most importantly, about a bajillion apes with spears. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments.
