The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director explains when he thinks the reboot films should end. Directed by Wes Ball, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes continues the saga of the Planet of the Apes, this time over three centuries after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set for release on May 10 and features a leading cast including Freya Allan, Peter Macon, William H. Macy, Kevin Durand, and Dichen Lachman.
In an interview with ScreenRant at WonderCon, Ball reveals when he thinks the Planet of the Apes movies should end. Check out the full quote from Ball below:
I think there’s plenty of runway for this franchise, and I’m sure I’ll be doing something else someday. I don’t know, I’ll leave it there. Let me say this. If I had my druthers, and again, this is not my choice to make, you would not remake the 1968 version. You would make a bunch of them.
You could maybe make another three after these three. You could do a lot, there’s a lot of story to mine there. There’s a lot of time to mine there. Go all the way up to the point where an ape, it looks up and sees a spaceship crashing down. Boom, cut to black. It goes back to ’68, and you start all over again. That would be the way to go. I think in my mind.
More to come…
