Gary Oldman to take his place amongst the primates in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Gary Oldman has played many awesome characters over the years, and is now set to join the apes.

The actor has taken a role in DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES as the leader of a human colony. Oldman boards alongside Kodi Smit-McPhee and Jason Clarke.

What’s nice is that we also have some plot details as well:

Set 15 years after the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn finds most of humanity wiped out and the intelligent apes ruling over the world. Part of the film’s focus is said to be on a small group of San Francisco-based scientists that are forming a resistance against the apes and part follows Serkis’ Caesar as he, like his namesake, tries to maintain order and power within his new civilization.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES starts filming this Spring and will release in theaters on a May 23, 2014.
