2011’s
smash hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes, sparked the mega successful
reboot of the popular Apes series and the groundbreaking visual effects
along with the majestic performance of Andy Serkis saw the film grossing
nearly $500 million and receiving tremendous critical and audience
acclaim!! It was the first live-action motion picture to star and be
told from the point of view of a sentient animal -- a character with
human qualities and with whom moviegoers experienced a real emotional
bond.
“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” is a 3-D filmmaking accomplishment and uses the same groundbreaking technology as Fox’s Avatar.
A technical crew of hundreds at Weta Digital studios in New Zealand
labored for a year to composite some 1,200 special effects shots just of
the apes, far more digitized animals than in the first movie. Director
Matt Reeves, adds a final note, “My hope is that audiences – even
knowing about the visual effects – will say, ‘Wait a minute. There
weren’t real live apes in the movie at all?’
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes releases on 11th July, in 3D in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu!
