About Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (Planet of the Apes 4) movie.
Although originally intended to be a prequel before the events of Caesar’s story, producers say Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will not be a reboot and will be connected to the previous trilogy.
The Planet of The Apes franchise began in 1968, in an adaptation of the Pierre Boulle novel, which starred Charlton Heston and featured one of the most unexpected and iconic movie finales ever, as the story of an astronaut who crashes on a planet populated by walking, talking apes discovers that the planet is actually Earth.
Following four sequels in the 1970’s, the franchise was untouched for almost 30 years before Tim Burton took a crack at remaking the movie in 2001. Although the remake was a reasonable hit, the franchise once again fell silent for another decade before Rise of The Planet of The Apes debuted in 2011, kicking off a series of movies that pulled in certain aspects of the original movies but also created a history to the 1968 film. The last film in the franchise, War for Planet of the Apes, debuted in 2017.
The Planet of the Apes franchise includes:
- Planet of the Apes (1968)
- Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
- Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
- Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
- Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
- Planet of the Apes TV series (1974)
- Planet of the Apes animated series (1975)
- Planet of the Apes (2001)
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
- War for Planet of the Apes (2017)
