The review embargo for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes came down, and right now, it's coming up pretty positively. Between that and the decent domestic and international early box office numbers, it looks like the trilogy that 20th Century and Disney wanted this film to kick off could become a reality.
The review embargo for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes came down, and right now, it's coming up pretty positively. Between that and the decent domestic and international early box office numbers, it looks like the trilogy that 20th Century and Disney wanted this film to kick off could become a reality. There is still a chance that this film won't do well enough to justify another movie, but the ending does indicate that there are other stories to tell.
Ball was asked about the project and what tone this film could be compared to if it would lean more toward Lord of the Rings or more Game of Thrones, which is still a limiting metric if we're being honest, but we didn't ask the question. Ball seemed hesitant to answer and replied, 'I'm very aware of that, and I will be making moves so that we're not just Lord of the Rings lite. But that's probably more than I should say, actually.
