La Planète des Singes : Le Nouveau Royaume [20th Century - 2024]

En 2019, The Walt Disney Company annonçait sa volonté de mettre en chantier le plus rapidement possible un nouveau film pour la franchise La Planète des singes.

Si le choix du réalisateur s'est rapidement porté sur l'américain Wess Ball, ce dernier travaille depuis lors sur l'histoire du dixième film de la franchise.

Ce n'est qu'au début de l'été qu'il a livré un scénario à 20th Century Studios, scénario qui a immédiatement enthousiasmé les dirigeants du studio quant à la direction vers laquelle la nouvelle histoire pourrait emmener les fans de la franchise.

Le casting a commencé peu de temps après et un premier nom nous est révélé en exclusivité par Deadline. Il s'agirait de l'américain Owen Teague qui aurait reçu une offre pour jouer le primate principal dans le prochain film de la franchise emblématique.

Alors que la recherche se poursuit pour l'attribution du rôle principal humain, le réalisateur Wess Ball espère commencer la production avant la fin de l'année.

Le projet initial a évolué et ce film serait à présent le premier d'une nouvelle trilogie.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes isn't directed by Matt Reeves but it's based on a six-year-old idea the filmmaker had and completes his vision.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the direct follow-up to War for the Planet of the Apes, and the movie will complete what Matt Reeves intended for the reboot series.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is in post-production and scheduled for release on May 2024.

The film is a direct sequel to the 2017 release, and it's set years after War for the Planet of the Apes when humans have been mostly wiped out by the Simian Flu.

Reeves had an overarching vision for the series when he took over the franchise, and though that vision seemed fully realized with War for the Planet of the Apes, he had a specific idea for the direction of the next movie. While promoting War for the Planet of the Apes in 2017, Reeves spoke about where he saw the future of the series going.

"There are apes who grew up without the benefit of Caesar’s leadership and they might not just be pockets of one or two, there might be actually colonies, and might that be where future conflicts come for Caesar’s apes?"

That's essentially the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes story, as the 2024 movie sees several ape societies that interpret Caesar's teachings differently, with certain groups of apes twisting Caesar's schooling to fit their agendas and enslave other apes.

Humans have almost become extinct, meaning that humans are no longer the enemy or a threat to apes. However, there are different tribes of apes and ones that don't take kindly to the more advanced and skilled apes that learned under Caesar's order.

The upcoming release will explore the animosity between these colonies, which is the very idea that Reeves conceived.

The warring ape factions in the 2024 movie are a result of Caesar's achievements, and it's a clever way to continue the series without its lead character.

Tout ce qu'on voit là est vraiment prometteur.
C'est beau, épique et ça a l'air dans la continuité des trois films précédents, en étant tout de même plus accessibles et grand public que les 2 et 3.
Ca donne vraiment envie !

?

J'aime énormément cette saga. Je l'attendais pas si tôt. Je suis content héhé. J'aime bien comment petit à petit mine de rien ils nous amènent au monde montré dans le film de 68. Les voix ont l'air bizarres par contre, pas du tout dans la continuité de celle de césar par exemple. Après c'est un doublage de ba alors ça veut rien dire mais bon.

édit : en fait je viens de me rappeler que césar a un fils et qu'il meurt dans le dernier opus, et donc que c'est pas lui. Donc en fait j'ai rien dit. MMmmm tout cela mérite un revisionnage...

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Release Date Moves Up Two Weeks

Fans can take a trip to the “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” sooner than expected.

Disney is moving up the release date for the new “Planet of the Apes” movie from May 24 to May 10. It avoids a crowded Memorial Day holiday weekend that also includes the releases of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie.” The apes will now take on the Amy Winehouse biopic, “Back to Black,” on the new date.

“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” will also screen in Imax for the first two weeks of its release, marking a first for an “Apes” movie.

The new movie is set 300 years in the future and follows a new civilization of apes, monkeys, gorillas, orangutans and other primates. The previous reboot trilogy, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” (2011), “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” (2014) and “War for the Planet of the Apes” (2017) followed Caesar (played by Andy Serkis), the leader of a group of enhanced apes who slowly take over the world.

Now, a new group of primates have flourished in a jungle-like world where nature has taken over. Owen Teague stars as Noah, a young chimpanzee who meets a feral human named Mae (played by “The Witcher” star Freya Allan.

The rest of the apes include Kevin Durand, as Proximus Caesar, a powerful chimpa ruler who leads a coastal clan of apes in search of human technologies searching; Travis Jeffery and Lydia Peckham as Anaya and Soona, chimpanzees and friends of Noa; Neil Sandilands as Koro, an elder chimp from Noa’s tribe; and Peter Macon as Raka, a wise orangutan.

William H. Macy, Eka Darville, Ras-Samuel Weld A’abzgi, Sara Wiseman and Dichen Lachman also star in the film.

La première bande-annonce a été vue 75 millions de fois en 24 heures (et la pré-bande-annnonce dévoilée la veille avait déjà généré 25 millions de vues).

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Marketing Launches to 100 Million Viewers With First Trailer and Tease (EXCLUSIVE)

The marketing for Disney and 20th Studios’ “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” got off to a strong start with 75 million views in 24 hours across platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X/Twitter and more, Variety has learned. Social engagement for the trailer came in with 72,000 mentions in 24 hours, boosted by 11,000 TikTok comments and a top 10 trend on X. The studio launched a trailer tease the day before the official clip’s drop, and that earned 25 million views in 24 hours. All in all, “Kingdom” content earned a combined 100 million views during the film’s marketing launch period.

While the full “Kingdom” trailer debuted to a sturdy 75 million views in 24 hours, that number of course does not compete with such recent Disney blockbusters as “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (172 million views), “Avatar: The Way of Water” (148 million) and “The Little Mermaid” (104 million views). Not that the studio was ever expecting “Apes” to rival numbers from Marvel or the sequel to the highest-grossing movie in history.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the huge response to our first trailer,” Asad Ayaz, president of marketing at The Walt Disney Studios and Disney+, told Variety in a statement. “From the excitement and anticipation to the speculation surrounding new characters and settings, it’s clear fans can’t wait to see this epic new film from Wes Ball and 20th Century Studios.”

Directed by “The Maze Runner” helmer Wes Ball, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” relaunches the franchise seven years after the end of the Caesar trilogy (which spanned “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and “War for the Planet of the Apes” between 2011 and 2017). All three films grossed over $450 million worldwide, with “Dawn” hitting a huge $710 million. Matt Reeves directed “Dawn” and “War” before helming “The Batman.”

“Kingdom” is set generations after “War,” with apes now the dominant species on Earth and humans in a regressed, feral state. A new ape leader begins enslaving other ape clans in the search of secret human technology, which leads a younger ape named Noa to set out on a journey to find freedom. The cast includes Owen Teague, Kevin Durand, Freya Allen, William H. Macy and Peter Macon.

“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” set to open in theaters May 24, 2024, from Disney and 20th Century Studios.

Honnêtement, ça a l'air incroyable.
Visuellement c'est superbe et le ton est dramatique, lourd avec des séquences d'action intenses qui ont l'air de prendre aux tripes. Pour rester chez 20th Century, ça a l'air dans la continuité aussi des films Avatar. C'est top que cette saga continue à vivre en parallèle.
