Posted April 14, 2011 by Max in Featured

After a recent name change and some quick footage (4 seconds to be exact), Fox has found it pertinent to release the full first trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (RotPatA). RotPatA comes to theaters on August 5, 2011.

Thefilmstage has a brief summary of the film:

Rise of the Planet of the Apes stars James Franco as scientist Will Rodman who tests a new miracle drug on apes with an unintended side effect: it makes the test subjects highly intelligent. By attempting to save mankind, Will accidentally dooms it as the apes get smarter and decide to revolt until the leadership of the smartest ape of them all Caesar. Frida Pinto, John Lithgow, and Brian Cox co-star, and Andy Serkis provided the motion capture for Caesar as well as most of the other apes.
