…part of the film’s focus is said to be on a small group of San Francisco-based scientists that are forming a resistance against the apes and part follows Andy Serkis’ Caesar as he, like his namesake, tries to maintain order and power within his new civilization.And that’s basically all we know at this moment. The good thing is that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes starts filming this spring, which means that we’ll soon have more details to share. Make sure you stay tuned!
