The Big Picture In the vast and ever-evolving landscape of cinema, the Planet of the Apes franchise stands as a monumental series that has captivated audiences for decades. The latest entry, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, wants to add a new layer to the story that first began in 1968.
Ball added that he was drawn to overcome the initial reluctance to tread the same ground covered by the preceding trilogy, which is revered by fans and critics alike. The challenge was to forge a path that was both fresh and respectful to the legacy of the series. Why 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Isn't a Direct Sequel Close The vision for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was to bridge the narrative gap between the recent trilogy and the original 1968 film, thus serving as both a sequel and a prequel. That approach from Ball aimed to explore the enduring impact of Caesar's legacy and the evolution of the ape civilisation, marking a pivotal point in the franchise's timeline.
