UPDATE: Fox has asked us to remove these images from our site, even though they don’t seem like “official photos” to me, but rather, behind-the-scenes pictures, but we’ve taken them down anyway, just cause we’re “good like that”… 😉
KinoGallery has gotten hold of some behind-the-scenes photos from director Rupert Wyatt’s RISE OF THE APES. You can head on over there to check out the full gallery but you’ll find the best ones below, featuring a rather normal-looking James Franco and Freida Pinto being accompanied by a short monkey-like man in a mocap suit. Wait… is that Andy Serkis in the mocap suit as “Caesar”, the eventual leader of the simian uprising??
For you guys in the cheap seats, the film “is an origins story set in present-day San Francisco. [It is] a reality-based cautionary tale, where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.”
RISE OF THE APES looks to unleash its gorilla goodness on June 24, 2011.
