The release of director Matt Reeves’ WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES is still nine months away, but the marketing machine has been switched on. Coinciding with the New York Comic-Con, a digital billboard promoting the film has been put on display in Times Square.

If you can’t make it to Times Square to see the billboard, don’t worry. It may be bigger and more impressive there, but the content of the billboard has also been uploaded to YouTube and can be viewed below, from the comfort of your own home.
