Woody Harrelson Joins WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
20th Century Fox has announced that actor Woody Harrelson will play the villain in director Matt Reeves’ WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.
The Hollywood Reporter says:
Mark Bomback also is back as screenwriter and Chernin Entertainment as the producer. Dylan Clark is also producing.
It is unclear who is returning to the new movie, which will continue the story of Caesar, the evolved ape who is brought to life via motion capture by Andy Serkis.
Plot details are being kept secret, but Harrelson will play a character called the Colonel.
It was recently reported that Gabriel Chavarria would play one of the new characters, but insiders say his part is small.
Harrelson is currently shooting LBJ, starring as President Lyndon B. Johnson, and will be back on the big screen in the final Hunger Games movie, which hits theaters on Nov. 20.
The first installment, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, brought in $481.8 at the global box office, while the second chapter of the franchise reboot, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, saw $708.8 million worldwide. (Box Office Mojo)
WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2017.
