In 2001 we had the rather tepid 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes. And now we have the 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' launch day coming close. This movie is a completely new take on one of 20th Century Fox's most beloved and successful franchises. Oscar-winning visual effects house Weta Digital – employing some of the groundbreaking technologies developed for Avatar – will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is an origin story. The synopsis describes the film as "an origin story in the true sense of the word". Set in present-day San Francisco, Rise of the Planet of the Apes reveals the origins of a war that ultimately led to a global apocalypse – and to Earth becoming the Planet of the Apes. Oscar-winning visual effects house WETA Digital – employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for "Avatar" – will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.
