The First Set Photo From ‘War For The Planet Of The Apes’ Will Tickle Your Nostalgia Bone

Briefly: With all of the Star Wars news (and rumours) this past weekend (that final trailer though), plus the overexertion from climbing Vancouver’s famous Grouse Grind (hear all about it on the latest episode of Geekscape, featuring, well, me), somehow this one slipped right passed me.

Which is unfortunate, because it’s incredible.

Yep, director Matt Reeves has shared the very first set photo from the now-in-production War For The Planet Of The Apes (which can’t come soon enough), and it will really, really give you that warm nostalgic feeling if you’re a fan of the original series.

Why, why did this have to be delayed?

In any case, take a look at the image below, and let us know if you’re excited for this third film. War For The Planet Of The Apes is slated to hit theatres on July 14th, 2017. We still don’t know a lot about the feature, but we’ll be sure to share more as soon as we do.
