The film, directed by relative newcomer Rupert Wyatt, was originally scheduled to be released in the crowded month of June but has now been pushed back to the slightly less-crowded Thanksgiving weekend. Though we’d seen some unauthorized images from production, today we get our first official glimpse from the film. Check out the full photo after the break.
Big thanks to JoBlo for releasing this image. Click on the picture for a bigger version.
As post-production and marketing on the film continues, we are sure to start seeing images of the apes as well as co-stars Frieda Pinto, Tom Felton, John Lithgow and Brian Cox, posters and even a trailer, possibly attached to something like X-Men: First Class.
As for this image itself, it does give a good idea of the look of the film: crisp, clean, and very detailed. Notice all of the ape x-rays in the back, all the different medicines in the foreground, and the extreme care that hair and makeup paid to Franco’s hairdo. That last one was a joke. Use a comb, Franco! [Note from Russ: He’s a scientist – too busy to comb!]
What do you think of the image?
