So what do you think?

The clip also shows several new shots of the WETA motion capture that Andy Serkis did playing Caesar and it’s looking increasingly impressive. Obviously, it looks digital – it’s impossible to drop a big batch of ones and zeros into reality and make it totally seamless – but there’s no doubting that Caesar’s emotions are well-defined and come across. These trailers have all been cut so quickly, though, I’ll be interested to see how he stands up as a character in an ongoing scene, especially since he communicates non-verbally.

For more info on Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and if you have an hour, Peter and I did a long video after we visited the set last summer which includes many things about sets, characters and more that haven’t been widely reported on.
