New Planet of the Apes director debunks reboot rumours

February 20, 2020 by Samuel Brace

Wes Ball, the director of the new Disney Planet of the Apes movie, has debunked the rumour that his film will be a reboot.

Matt Reeves’ Planet of the Apes movies have been very well received by audiences so when a rumour started circulating that the first Apes movie under the Disney umbrella would reboot the series, some fans weren’t too enthusiastic.

However, the film’s director Wes Ball has put these rumours to bed, saying that his film is not a reboot and he wishes journalists did a bit more fact-checking. Responding to fan on Twitter who asked if the reports were true, Ball said:

“It’s never been easier for film journalists to actually get in touch with the actual people who actually know… but maybe it’s the point to NOT fact-check these days? Regardless. Don’t worry. I won’t ruin the surprises, but it’s safe to say Caesar’s legacy will continue…”

Regardless. Don’t worry. I won’t ruin the surprises, but it’s safe to say Caesar’s legacy will continue…🤫
