Rise of the Planet of the Apes has been hyped up for the last month of so after being announced that you movie will be releases months earlier than originally intended as well as the 5-second glimpse of the intellectual, mass-murdering monkey. Now today will stir the buzz even more.

The release of the first official trailer will leave some in aw at it's greatness. They will be talking of this being the amazing story of new and great things for the Apes franchise. I am hesitant to say I don't think I'm one of those people.

I haven't lost faith quite yet, but so far I'm not too impressed. While the quick scene of the terrorizing ape standing in a couple's bedroom staring at them, gave me chills, the rest of the trailer just made me think I was watching a sequel movie called I, Ape. Seriously all I could think was that I was watching a remake of I, Robot where the robots were wearing monkey suits. but I am not giving up hope yet. I will give it more time before I completely cast my vote.

But I will tell you that I'm still excited to see Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) fighting off super-intelligent apes as his first A-list movie after the Harry Potter series. So for the sake of Malfoy lets have those fingers crossed that WETA Digital is just monkeying around and that they didn't want the amazing perfection of their apes be released yet.

    Only days away from the teaser trailer, Fox gives us a 5 second peak of the recently retitled movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The "blink of an eye" trailer shows us a quick glance what the apes will look like at the power of WETA Digital's hands.

    Just keep in mind WETA Digital is the same company that won an Oscar for their amazing visual effects in Avatar. I think it's easy to say Tim Burton will have nothing on the Rise of This Planet of Apes.


    Directed by Rupert Wyatt, the prequel/reboot stars James Franco as Will, a scientist who, while testing a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, causes the rapid evolution of an ape test subject named Caesar (Andy Serkis). Andy Serkis, the same who amazingly played the role of Smeagle/Gollum in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

     The film, which also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Tom Felton, Tyler Labine and Brian Cox, opens on Aug. 5. Look for the first trailer to hit on Friday.
