I watched all of the movies in the original series but I haven’t watched any of the new movies.
I saw a mention that Rise of the Planet of the Apes was the first in a new series with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes being its sequel.
So the 2001 Planet of the Apes is not considered part of the new series?
The 2001 version has been rebooted into oblivion.
What 2001 version?
The 2001 version is pretty bad. I think everyone wants to pretend it didn’t happen. FWIW, it was never meant to be in the same continuity. I think there was a time when the current movies were advertised as if they were in the same continuity as the original movie (not its sequels) but I think that is out the window now.
The new trailer for Dawn is up - looks fantastic.
Yeah, it seemed like the option was there in the first one but the sequel might let that out.
