According to Deadline, the studio has made an offer to Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield and Let Me In.

Quote:

The studio fully expects to stay on track and make the May 23, 2014 release date that Fox announced in May.

Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver already turned in a script that is much liked by the studio and the film’s producer, Chernin Entertainment. It’s a natural extension of the first film

Looks like it's about a year and a half out.

Matthew McConaughey, Robert De Niro, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes all set to shoot in NOLA

Quote:

According to various sources -- including published reports, the state's regular listing of production activity and industry chatter -- they're all set to arrive (or, in some cases, already have arrived) to film in New Orleans over the next several weeks.

Welcome to town ladies and gents. Hope I see you around.

Apes 2 writer Scott Z. Burns on his script:

Quote:

I have no idea [if they’re using my script], Rupert Wyatt and I worked on a draft last summer that I think we were both really excited about and he went into Fox and they seemed to like it, they wanted a lot of changes and they sort of parted ways over those changes. Then management shifted at Fox, they brought in a new director, I think the new director wanted a new writer and I don’t know how much of what we did and I wrote is ongoing. It’s kind of heartbreaking because I really loved what we were trying to say with that movie so I hope some of it survives or that they came up with something a lot better.

I felt the way about it that I think a lot of the people involved did, which was that I loved the apes, but I felt that the human characters needed to be more interesting and that was sort of my task when we started talking about the second one. I was loving it, it was a really fun world to play in. It’s really heartbreaking when these things sort of leave you and you’re not even sure why.

Strange.

Apes sequel casts new leading man.

Quote:

Say goodbye to James Franco and say hello to Jason Clarke. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clarke just nabbed the lead role in the Apes sequel, which will be directed by Cloverfield's Matt Reeves. Though you might have seen him in flicks like Public Enemies and in the short-lived series The Chicago Code, Clarke is best known these days for his work as a tough CIA interrogator in Kathryn Bigelow's acclaimed and controversial Zero Dark Thirty.

The article also mentioned that part of the plot involves Caesar's struggle to remain in charge of the growing ape population.

Why no James Franco? I enjoyed the 1st movie, I feel like this one is going to flop though.

Word is that the second movie will begin 15 years in the future. Perhaps Franco didn't wind up surviving the aftermath of the first revolt.

Fair enough, I can live with that.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 02-20-2013, 10:56 PM

Boo!! James Franco is one of my fav actors.

He does, right? Looks more like a villain to me than a leading man.
