Andy Serkis has signed on to play Caesar in the sequel.

When Rise of the Planet of the Apes's $453 million worldwide gross was listed as a bright spot in the quarterly earnings of beleaguered NewsCorp, you know a sequel is a big 20th Century Fox priority. So who did the studio lock in first? No, it wasn't James Franco or Freida Pinto. The studio just closed what I'm told is a healthy seven-figure deal for Andy Serkis to reprise his role as lead ape Caesar. Serkis had only signed on for one movie, so his reps had leverage in ensuring that he come back to continue leading the ape takeover in multiple future installments of the series.

Director Rupert Wyatt's original deal came with a sequel option, so he's locked. So are screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who are producing with Chernin Entertainment's Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark. The studio is still in the idea stage and the sequel hasn't been dated for release. As for Franco and Pinto, those decisions will likely be made when the direction of the film crystallizes. The studio certainly has the leverage there; the clever construct of the first film ended with a wallop that makes everyone expendable.

I love how everyone is so up to date with movie news here

I'm starting to believe that Laufey isn't human but a computer program designed to be the first to inform this forum of movie news the second it's released.

I loved the first one and was so great. It made you think that the Tim Burton movie never exist.

Too early, too early, this should win the 2012 best post.

You and me, we've been at war since before either of us even existed.

Bring it on. The first one has been the surprise of the year IMO.

He is a sophisticated AI program,he was engineered to monitor communications and data-streams,to find out what people are talking about and to make sure it's being discussed correctly.

That cracked my shit up, Laufey. 

I loved the first one. It really inspired me. It was one of those movies where, the feeling I had when I left is the feeling I want people to have when they leave the theater from one of my films.

I don't see why not? The first movie already made over 450 million world wide, the movie is still doing strong on other parts of the world.

Um, what?
I was talking about Laufey's reply.

[Shasvre]

But what's up with the "Too early..."? I think I'm missing something here.

I think he meant that you should have waited till next year to post it so it could be the 2012 best post

What would be a good title for the sequel? What if they went by "Planet of the Planet of the Apes"  ?
