Rise Of The Apes - Casting News

Since our last update there have been two major players added to the cast of Rise of the Apes.

First we see that Brian Cox has been cast as the co-owner of the facility where the ape drama and excitement stems from.

Secondly we have heard that Tom Felton of Harry Potter fame has been cast as the son of Cox's character.

I'm not sure how central either character will be to the storyline of the movie, but they are known names to add to the cast.

Rise of the Apes is a reboot of the original Planet of the Apes franchise and is set in modern day San Fransisco and sees the beginning of the ape rebellion with Caesar at the center of the action.

Stay tuned for more information, photos and trailers from the movie as we movie forward with production, filming and the eventual release on June 24, 2011.
