OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

Still totally feeling this franchise. Rise and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes were both fine examples of blockbuster filmmaking, and I've no particular reason to doubt that War for the Planet of the Apes is going to fall significantly short of their high standards. If I'm not exactly super-stoked by the above trailer and first look, I'll choose to recall my similarly lukewarm response to trailers for this film's two predecessors, and promptly calm the fuck down. Out in North America and the British Isles both on the 14th of July.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES: NYCC DIGITAL BILLBOARD TRAILER

This is undoubtedly the first time that SOS has featured a digital billboard, not least one from a Comic-Con. But this preview of War for the Planet of the Apes is worth a post, surely! It's intriguing and very promising, particularly given the high quality of the preceding two instalments in this franchise. Out in both the UK and the US on the 14th of July 2017.
