Trailer arrives for 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'The trailer for the upcoming “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” has been released, and we're curious if we're the only ones pleasantly surprised by it. James Franco stars as scientist Will Rodman in the "Planet of the Apes" prequel, and as the camera pans down a desolate hallway filled with flickering lights, the inescapable actor tells us that they’ve discovered a drug that “allows the brain to repair itself.” But the drug does more than that - it also “radically increases brain function” and improves intelligence, perhaps a little too well. And then, after we see all the medical testing that Rodman's been doing on his ape friends...well, we bet you can guess what happens.
“Slumdog Millionaire’s” Freida Pinto portrays Caroline, who appears to be the voice of reason as she warns Franco's Rodman against trying to change too much. "Lord of the Rings" actor Andy Serkis, John Lithgow, and "Harry Potter's" Tom Felton also star in the vehicle, which swings into theaters on August 5. Does the trailer entice you to see it?

I also heard there's gonna be a remake of The 3 Stooges. Curious about that, too.
Was I the only one who watched the last movie thinking Mark Wahlberg could have been better cast as one of the apes?
DAMN! Isnt there any new ideas in Hollywood? Seems every movie they make has to have a million sequels. Gets tiring after awhile. Besides who wants to sit thru 2 1/2 hrs of monkeys chasing each other? Geez...if I want that all I have to do is go down the street and watch them walking around....Enough is enough already.
NO WAY HOSAY ! CNN RULES ! NEWS AND INFO 24 HOURS A DAY ! ANYONE THAT DOES NOT LIKE CNN PROBABLY SPENDS THEIR TIME WATCHING SOAP OPERAS. CNN IS THE BEST !

Hollywood you suck!
Deja vu! Haven't we done this before?
The road already traveled, sigh. The 70's movies were so much better even if the budgets were tiny in comparison. Its all about actors and script, not CGI.
I like how this version isn't warning us of nuclear war, but of our dependance on drug companies. Maybe Franco will be shown an HMO statement at the climax.
