Planet of the Apes Film May Have a Director
According to Mike Fleming at Deadline Hollywood, it looks like there is a director circling around the Planet of the Apes reboot, at this moment called Caesar.
Writes Fleming, "Rupert Wyatt has moved into poll position on 20th Century Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel. No start date, but Wyatt's come aboard to develop to direct. Script's by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Wyatt last directed The Escapist."
It would seem that 20th Century Fox is serious about relaunching the series. It will be interesting to see if this take (a loose remake of 1972's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes) will actually relaunch the franchise.
Interesting coincidence: Wyatt was born the same year Conquest was released. Meaningful? Let's pretend it is.
Go Ape!
