‘Rise Of The Apes’ Moves Again, This Time To August

That’s not exactly the case. After August 5 the summer still holds Fright Night, Spy Kids 4, 30 Minutes or Less and Final Destination 5, but Apes has certainly become the highest profile film in August.

RISE OF THE APES moves up from November 23, 2011, to August 5, 2011 — last big event movie of the summer.

Having seen nothing but the above image from the film – there’s no poster, trailer, footage or anything yet – the jury is still out on Rise of the Apes. The cast – Franco, Frieda Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton as well as Andy Serkis playing the fully motion captured ape Caesar – is pretty stellar and though Wyatt only has one major film under his belt, this certain is a huge opportunity.

What are your thoughts on Rise of the Apes changing its release date for a second time? Does it worry you?
