Serkis will portray Caesar in Rise of the Apes
Serkis will star as the lead ape Caesar the, "chimp who leads the simian revolt." Serkis joins a cast that already includes James Franco, John Lithgow and Freida Pinto. Here's a synopsis for the film below.
"Rise of the Apes is an origin story in the truest sense of the term. Set in present day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science fiction/science fact blend, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy."
We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further updates on this upcoming film.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was released August 5th, 2011 and stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, David Oyelowo, Tyler Labine, Jamie Harris. The film is directed by Rupert Wyatt.

Serkis is definitely *the* man to have on this project - thumbs up for the casting.
Burton really needs to stick to his little puppets.

this is where the reboot should have started instead of the Burton/Whalberg disaster (though not Marky-Marks fault). looking forward to this, assuming it's done right.
