Set in present-day San Francisco, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES reveals the origins of a war that ultimately led to a global apocalypse – and to Earth becoming the Planet of the Apes.

Also on the Facebook page, before the official trailer premiere, they say that on Wednesday they’ll premiere “an exclusive live look at Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Be the first to see footage from the film – including a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the apes!” We’ll keep our eye out.
