“Enter the Kingdom in IMAX.” 20th Century Studios has partenred with IMAX for a special promo this weekend. With the release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in IMAX theaters, they will be screening a special IMAX-exclusive preview for the next Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie. This extended promo is only available in theaters and is not online (yet) – made specifically for IMAX screens. The sneak peek runs 3 minutes. The final movie will play for 2 weeks in IMAX theaters this summer. Directed by Wes Ball, this takes place years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). Many ape clans have emerged in the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. One ape leader prevents the teachings of Caesar in order to enslave other clans while in search of the last traces of a secret technology. Starring Owen Teague as Cornelius, the chimpanzee son of Caesar. The ensemble includes Freya Allan, Peter Macon, Eka Darville, Kevin Durand, Travis Jeffery, Neil Sandilands, Sara Wiseman, William H. Macy, and Dichen Lachman. I’m super hyped for this movie – cannot wait.

Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic, sci-fi franchise now set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is directed by the American filmmaker / VFX artist Wes Ball, director of the trilogy of movies The Maze Runner, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure previously. The screenplay is by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (writers of the previous Apes trilogy), Josh Friedman, and Patrick Aison. Produced by Joe Hartwick Jr., Jason Reed, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver. 20th Century will debut Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in theaters worldwide starting May 10th, 2024 this summer. Who’s ready for this?
