Gary Oldman Leads Human Resistance In ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’

EXCLUSIVE: Gary Oldman is joining Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the Matt Reeves-directed sequel to Fox’s successful ape reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes. William Clarke and Kodi-Smit McPhee have already been set. I’m told that Oldman will play Dreyfus, leader of the human resistance after the apes have taken power. Fox has set the film for release on May 23, 2014. Oldman most recently starred in Lawless and The Dark Knight Rises, and will next be seen in the Robocop remake for MGM. He’s repped by Douglas Management Group and APA.

Nice.

Nice.

I always hoped this would get a 2nd chance with a serious approach.

LOVED the first one and found myself rooting for the apes over the humans throughout the movie.

A couple things about this one:

1) Cesar's got war paint and spears in the trailer; I wonder how they're going to play off the war between the apes and humans. Seems pointless for the people after they've spent 8 years fighting off the virus and each other.

2) I wonder if all of the apes will be speaking.

I'm looking forward to it. I rented almost the entire original series of films (skipped the goofy nuke worshipper one) to watch with my kids when I heard about the first one, then we saw it in a theater together.

Looks like it may be good.

So I assume his previous owner is not in this one? Dr. Rodman?

Nice, 1st one was way better than I was expecting, and I think Jason Clarke is an awesome actor who happens to be in a bunch of my favorite movies and tv shows.

Isn't he rumored to be the next John Connor?

You mean Franco's character?
If I remember correctly, he is not supposed to be in this one in part because he was already committed to other projects during the shooting schedule, but it wasn't anticipated he figured to be featured heavily or this portion of the saga would involve him much.

Plans for future films could see his return over the course of the story arc, and there was chatter that they might have him in a limited cameo role if it could work out. The other thought was they may be able to use footage from the last movie that never made the final edit if needed.

Tom Hardy is too<mytubeelement data="{&quot;bundle&quot;:{&quot;label_delimitor&quot;:&quot;:&quot;,&quot;percentage&quot;:&quot;%& quot;,&quot;smart_buffer&quot;:&quot;Smart Buffer&quot;,&quot;start_playing_when_buffered&quot;:&quot;Start playing when buffered&quot;,&quot;sound&quot;:&quot;Sound&quot;,&quot;desktop_notification&quot;:&quot;Desktop Notification&quot;,&quot;continuation_on_next_line&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;Loop&quot;,&quot;only_notify&quot;:&quot;Only Notify&quot;,&quot;estimated_time&quot;:&quot;Estimated Time&quot;,&quot;global_preferences&quot;:&quot;Global Preferences&quot;,&quot;no_notification_supported_on_your_browser&quot;:&quot;No notification style supported on your browser version&quot;,&quot;video_buffered&quot;:&quot;Video Buffered&quot;,&quot;buffered&quot;:&quot;Buffered&quot;,&quot;hyphen&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;buffered_message&quot;:&quot;The video has been buffered as requested and is ready to play.&quot;,&quot;not_supported&quot;:&quot;Not Supported&quot;,&quot;on&quot;:&quot;On&quot;,&quot;off&quot;:&quot;Off&quot;,&quot;click_to_enable_ for_this_site&quot;:&quot;Click to enable for this site&quot;,&quot;desktop_notification_denied&quot;:&quot;You have denied permission for desktop notification for this site&quot;,&quot;notification_status_delimitor&quot;:&quot;;&quot;,&quot;error&quot;:&quot;Error&quo t;,&quot;adblock_interferance_message&quot;:&quot;Adblock (or similar extension) is known to interfere with SmartVideo.

Yeah, i was wondering how that would go, I guess he isn't necessary anymore except a minor part

Interesting...I'd think he'd be more so of a Terminator

Neither of them are who I immediately come to mind for John Connor, but I think they're both good actors, and you never know- everyone panned Ledger as the selection for the Joker, and some didn't think Hardy was a good choice for Bane, but after Ledger killed it, Nolan was pretty much given carte blanche.

No idea how they're using Arnold given his age unless they plan on heavily using digital alteration and how he's shot along with face makeup. It's pretty remarkable some of the face makeup and prosthetics they can use to make older actors look like they did 20-30 years ago these days.

I can't remember the movie I'm thinking of right now, but the technique used was dramatically authentic and looked truly like the actors did decades ago.

I don't know, man. A lot of Tom Hardy fans thought he was an excellent choice for Bane. If you've seen Bronson, I don't know how you couldn't have liked that casting right out of the gate.

As for Schwarzenegger, my bet is he's some kind of military guy they based the T-1000 after, so he'll be the older, human counterpart to the original.

I wasn't saying I didn't like the choice of Hardy- just your typical internetz fanboi chatter. As I said previously, I think Hardy is a fine actor. He's also in one of my favorite movies that got slammed by critics and did shit at the box office, Rock N' Rolla .
What truly pisses me off about that was there was supposed to be at least 2 more films involving the principle cast. The 2nd film being The Real Rock N' Rolla .

As of now, I don't think Ritchie can get the greenlight from the original studio or $$$ from an outside source to make even the next installment.

If you look at all the names of who starred in the movie- so many of them have taken off, I'd venture to guess it would draw an audience, but now the question is whether they can afford everyone?

Just some of the people in it:
Gerard Butler,
Idris Elba,
Tom Hardy,
Tom Wilkinson,
Mark Strong,
Thandie Newton,
Karel Roden (an internationally acclaimed Czech actor, who always ends up playing cold, ruthless villains in Hollywood movies),
Jeremy Piven,
Toby Kebbell,
Ludacris,
Jimi Mistry,
Matt King and
Gemma Arterton




UPDATE: I found this quote from Ritchie when asked about it around the end of 2011.


Now, apparently principal casting for him making
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. has picked up, with Tom Cruise no longer attached, but Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Hugh Grant so far announced.

Plus, screen rights to Thomas Kelly's Empire Rising have just recently been secured, and the studio is leaning heavy on him directing that. Not to mention, I'm sure there's a commitment for a followup Sherlock Holmes undoubtedly in the next 24-36 months.
Dammit!

I liked the rest of the movies and will prob watch this one on DVD as well.

Rockin' Rolla just got added to the top of my Netflix list. Not sure I missed it before now. :thumb:

Yeah, it's a treat. Think Snatch, only the mobsters are high end guys. Great flick.

I believe I will give it a rewatch this evening and then watch either The Fighter
or Out of the Furnace ??

Really want to go see American Hustle but not in the mood for crowds and everyone scurrying around shopping or getting out of or coming to town for the holidays- its been a madhouse in the city since early afternoon.

T-800
:p

T-Bane... not to be confused with T-Pain.

I bet he kills EEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE

Professional rep!!!!!

Looks awesome! Loved the original series and the reboot was good too. Hell, I'll admit it. I even enjoyed the Marky Mark one.

I win!

mine is a different international trailer. I watched both to make sure

Ahh.

I still win!

Gary sure knows how to cash in these days.

He's not. He's actually going to play a Terminator. They're using some excuse like "Terminator skin ages, too."

Should be interesting.

This shit looks greeeeaattttt.

I see the humans are still ****ing shitheads though..

Looks solid!

Yep, I heard that recently on the Schwarzenegger/Nerdist podcast.

Yea, I like how the apes are all cool and peaceful in their utopia.....until the stupid humans show up to ruin shit. LoL

Nope. International trailer is better. :)

Damn this is definitely near the top of my excited to see list.


Fyi, about Arnold in the new Terminator movie and his age / looking old. Apparently this is explained in the movie.

I was first, hence I win!

Give me this. I gotta have something good. It's draft day. There won't be anything else.

It's the Europeans and Native Americans all over again!....Well, not really but whatever..

Why is it so easy to root against humans?

Holy shit this looks good

We're mostly either pricks or ****s.

Sweet!

Who doesn't love Gary old man, huh.

I still contend that they ****ed up on the title for the previous one and this one. They should be flip flopped. It would make more sense if this one is the RISE of TPOTA.

Can't ****ing wait. Cannot ****ing wait.

I think people are really sleeping on this movie.

That could never happen in the real world.

First reviews in- so far raving about it.


chub in my pants with the good word for it so far!

**** yes!

This is the movie I've been dying to see. Sounds like it has delivered. Great news.

An early review.

Dawn is to Rise of the Planet of the Apes what The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars — it’s that much better.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/mov.../review/715555

Ya, see post #68 for that and a whole bunch of other early review quotes...

Man, Rise didn't get much hype but I thought that one was great. Very, very enjoyable.

If this one is so much better, I'll be in danger of jizzing everywhere.

This.

I am totally stoked for this movie.

In other words it's the Godfather part 2 of the franchise.

3 prologue shorts released to fill in events between Rise and Dawn:

What a snooze-fest that was...

Heh, I thought they were pretty good actually.

Enjoyed the Island of the Apes documentary as well.

Tomatometer Consensus: With intelligence and emotional resonance to match its stunning special effects, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes expands on its predecessor with an exciting and ambitious burst of sci-fi achievement.
