Monkeys Take Over 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Concept Art

Update: After watching the film I can say this concept art is amazing. Out of context it's not as striking. The artist is Alex Mandra.


The new trailer and concept art from the behind-the-scenes video for the James Franco Planet of the Apes prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes is online and it looks...ok.

Franco plays a scientist working on an Alzheimer's cure and accidentally mutates Caesar into a super-intelligent ape. He takes him home to work with him and soon Caesar leads the primates on a revolution against humanity.

The movie looks great, but, there's not much to the concept art. But, we do get to see some rioting monkeys.

Weta Digital (Lord of the Rings, Avatar) developed the special effects for the amazing King Kong remake so I expect much better art and special effects coming soon.



Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) opens 5 August 2011 in the US.
