Directed by Rupert Wyatt, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was one of the most pleasant surprises of 2011: a reboot of a much-loved series that actually matched its predecessor in terms of intelligence and craft. Featuring a spectacular leading performance from Andy Serkis as Caesar, an ape granted extraordinary intelligence as part of a scientific research project, Rise breathed new life into the Apes franchise, which scaled even greater heights with 2014's Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.
Next year, Dawn director Matt Reeves returns with War For The Planet Of The Apes, which continues the saga of apes versus humans on a post-apocalyptic Earth.

With Hollywood so remake crazy in modern times, Cinelinx takes a look at what makes a good remake and what makes a bad one, by examining examples of cinematic revamps. In the first of several articles, Cinelinx looks at a good remake: Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
What makes for a good remake is that it must succeed in being old and new at the same time. A remake has to satisfy those who loved the original and have certain specific expectations; and it also has to be its own entity, putting a new spin on an old idea. A good remake can’t completely toss out the old (like the remake of House of Wax) and conversely, it can’t just be a scene-by-scene imitation (like the remakes of Psycho and the Omen, which were just photocopies of the originals) so it’s a hard balancing act,...
