Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is being directed by Wes Ball, who was also responsible for the Maze Runner film series from 20th Century Studios. Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Patrick Aison wrote the script for the movie. Along with Joe Hartwick Jr. and Jason Reed, Jaffa and Silver are also producing; Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping are the executive producers.
In addition to Freya Allen, Peter Macon, Eka Darville, Kevin Durand, Travis Jeffery, Neil Sandilands, Sara Wiseman, Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi, Lydia Peckham, and William H. Macy, Owen Teague is the leading actor in the cast of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

A Pierre Boule novel served as the inspiration for the original Planet of the Apes movie. The 1968 film starred Charlton Heston as an astronaut who crash-landed on a world inhabited by sentient apes only to find that he was actually on Earth after a nuclear war had decimated the planet. The wildly popular movie spawned a number of Planet of the Apes sequels, a TV show, and a Tim Burton remake in 2001 before Fox revived the property with a trilogy that debuted with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes and starred Andy Serkis.
