Looking very good indeed..

"The first trailer has been released for Cloverfield director Matt Reeves' forthcoming Planet of the Apes prequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

The film, which will be released on May 23 2014, stars Andy Serkis as Caesar, the ape leader the actor played in 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes and contentiously did not receive an Oscar nomination for. Serkis will appear alongside Judy Greer, Terry Notary and Karin Konoval as Apes, and Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke who will appear as humans. "

Hopefully this carries on the good work of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Looks good. The first film was very good, so hopefully they can continue that with this one.

Hopefully it will be as good as the first, but I guess it's a sequel not a prequel?

Love the first film, hoping this is just as good.

The last film was a reboot. So yes, this will be a sequel.

I'm intrigued as to how a prequel would work. A prequel to what? The first film?

I don't get it, the humanity is losing the battle to monkeys who've only got sticks and stone and occasional poop projectile?

A virus which kills humans.

Technically it's a Prequel to the Original 60/70's Films (ignore the horrendous Marky-Mark thing from 2001)... but YES it's a Sequel to the Original 2011 Prequel!

Sort of like Prometheus and it's Sequel (once made)

The motion capture stuff looks technically brilliant.

Its kinda messing with an epic in sci-fi history but it does look very well done.
