Matt Reeves, the director of this year’s sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, has signed to direct an untitled, undated third prequel to the 1968 film. Reeves, the director of Cloverfield and Let Me In, will pen the screenplay with Mark Bomback. He’ll move right onto it after finishing the current installment, which is due in theaters on July 11. Deadline broke the news of the deal.
Enter Reeves, who ended up with a film that takes place almost a decade after the 2011 movie. Dawn stars Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell and others and is about humans trying to take back the planet they slowly began to lose after Caesar (Andy Serkis) and fellow apes rebelled.
Are you looking forward to the continuation, in a second and third film, of this prequel series?
