Despite the conclusion of Matt Reeve’s incredible Planet of the Apes trilogy, the apes will not rest for long. 20th Century Fox, now under the ownership of the Walt Disney Company, is in the process of rebooting and creating a new film based on the Planet of the Apes intellectual property.
Along with the news of the reboot, it is also been first confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, that Wes Ball is now attached to write and direct a new movie set in the Planet of the Apes mythology. Ball is best known for writing and directing the three-part Maze Runner trilogy, which was based on James Dashner’s source material of young adult novels.
No word on what the plot of this new reboot will be or if it will connect to the recent Apes trilogy.
