New ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Trailer Shows Peace Between Apes and Humans Is Bloody

The release of ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ on May 10th will be an important moment for fans. Besides starting a new trilogy 300 years after Caesar’s revolution, this installment confirms the excellent health of the license. Its peculiar promotions in the United States are a sign that it is a key movie for 20th Century Studios. The latest trailer fuels expectations and you can see it below.

In the new regime imposed by the apes, empathy with humans is not tolerated. Humanity has been relegated to a completely secondary level: it has ceased to be the dominant species to live under the yoke of the apes. Those who try to make a connection between the two end up in the pillory.

This is exactly what the latest trailer for the movie tries to convey. The tyranny of Proximus Caesar crushes those who think that the mere fact of reaching out to fellow humans is enough. After years of tense peace between the two species, the weapons are raised again in a new starting point of the conflict.

“Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows,” the production company said in its official description. “As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
