An ape holding a hawk in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
The Big Picture With retail outlets scaling back physical releases of films, it is heartening to see a director so excited about working on Blu-ray special features. Wes Ball, director of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes opened up to YouTube’s Ape Nation about his imminent picture. Special features have also not been a focus in physical releases as they had been a decade ago. Instead of feature-length commentaries, it is more common to see short featurettes and brief supplementary content.
This content is for die-hard fans of the films who are interested in the nitty-gritty of how it was made. He continued, "I'll do some commentary over it with Erik , our VFX . I think it's gonna be great. For geeks like us, it's gonna be a first. They've never seen this kind of thing." It will also be a point of interest for fans who want to see the differences between the actors who motion-capped the different ape characters and the final product.
If there is one film to delve into the machinations of the special effects for, it’s this one. The Maze Runner director worked early in his career in visual effects, and his excitement about releasing an inside look at the world of the apes is palpable. Ball later restrained himself from revealing too much about the upcoming release, so there may be more features to come. In the meantime, viewers should catch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes when it premieres in theaters, on May 10, 2024.
