Noa in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes juxtaposed with Caesar in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball reveals the one way the studio wanted his film to differ from the 2010s prequel trilogy. After the story of Andy Serkis' Caesar concluded in 2017, Ball's new movie moves things further along in the Planet of the Apes timeline, following a young ape named Noa hundreds of years later.
“That was the only thing that the studio asked, was could we find a tone that was a little lighter, I suppose, without compromising all the things that made these movies great — which is mature storytelling and real stakes and real drama and conflict, all that stuff. And I was happy to go there because my instincts naturally go there anyway.
“But yeah, just try to give people a good time in the theater. Try to have some nice, contemplate big ideas next to a campfire, but also run into the fields being chased by giant gorillas and also just some fun moments where you can smile and have a good time and meet these characters, fall in love with these characters. We tried.”
How Noa Makes Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Less Dark Caesar Was Just A More Serious Character Close While Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011 is not especially dark, both 2014's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes are. All three installments feature moments of humor, but Caesar is a character with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
