Hype has been high for the seventh film in the “Planet of the Apes” series, and in this latest incarnation (the last being from 2001 and starring the Man-Who-Won’t-Shut-Up-During-Other’s-Acceptance-Speeches Mark Wahlberg), they are going back to the Apes origins.
According to the film’s IMDB page:
An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.
The film is listed as starring James Franco (YAY!), Freida Pinto, and Andy Serkis. Tom will be playing the son of the experimental facility’s co-owner (Tom’s character owns the other half) played by Brian Cox who is, of course, evil.
Anyone see an X-Men similarity in that sentence, or is it just me?
[New Post] Tom Felton Cast in “Rise of the Apes” as a Human. http://feltbeats.com/2010/07/16/tom-felt…
@feltbeats i wonder if it feels degrading for a super hottie like @tomfelton to be cast as a ‘mere mortal’. LOL
I’m so glad it was confirmed! I found lots of articles about the movie, but only a couple mentioned Tom, so I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I loved the original and I can’t wait!
VERY COOL!! I adore Andy Serkis. Andy + Tom = I will actually go see this film.
He is getting casted for films very rapidly! Rising star, no doubt!
The more things are getting on the move for Thomas, the better!
With Love,
Sam.
Wow! A major motion picture, what a great opportunity for Tom.
Besides, Tom Felton + James Franco = Must see movie!
BTW LOL at: The Man-Who-Won’t-Shut-Up-During-Other’s-Acceptance-Speeches Mark Wahlberg
