War of the Planet of the Apes will be the name of the newest installment in the Planet of the Apes series.

[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]he ending to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was a moving and tragic piece, Caesar desperately tries to keep peace between man and ape. In the end, the two sides can’t come to an agreement, sadly. At the end of the film, when tensions from both sides seems like they’re about to peek, Caesar says,

“War has… already begun. Ape started war. And human… Human will not forgive.”

[dropcap size=small]M[/dropcap]att Reevess original intention with the last film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was to end it with the start of a war between Man and Apes. Sadly, Matt felt he would end up boxed in if he went with this decision in the end, so it was scrapped. Matt said,

“We actually did have an ending that went one step further, and I realized late in the game, ‘Wait a minute. I don’t want us to be boxed in this way. I think we should be left with a more open—knowing that we were going to figure out what the next story is—I didn’t want to in a way narrow our options.’ I wanted to open them up.

What was really most important was to leave you in that emotional space with Caesar, which is the ending of the movie that you’ve seen, and know that the future is coming, but not already be at that future. Because the moment is really about the moment that’s past. It could have been the planet of the humans and the apes, and that parting between Caesar and Malcolm is a very emotional moment to me, and I didn’t want something that distracted and became something else.

So yeah, there actually was another version of the movie, and that version never even got fully realized. We cut it late, but the effects for it weren’t realized for it either.”

The next film, “War” will likely be much larger than all the others, and is reported to turn Caesar into a character similar to Moses. Now, no one is entirely sure what this means, but one guess is that Caesar will lead the Apes to take over the world, and then not be able to enjoy the “promised land”.
