A new poster has arrived online for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes , in which Caesar mounts up to lead his troops into battle.

Clutching some heavy-duty firepower and riding his horse like a pro, it’s clear that the ten intervening years since the first film have seen the apes evolve still further, while human society has dwindled away to nothing.

Or rather next to nothing, as there are still a band of human survivors planning to redress the balance and reclaim Earth from their hairy ancestors.

It’s those increasingly desperate humans that Caesar will be leading his troops against, with any chance of peaceful coexistence looking a long way off at this point…

Directed by Matt Reeves and co-starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is fast beginning to swell its cast of human players, with Kodi Smit-McPhee the latest to join the growing ensemble.

Last week saw Zero Dark Thirty star Jason Clarke sign on to join the production, and now Let Me In ’s Smit-McPhee has also been cast in one of the film’s leading roles.

No word as yet as to who Smit-McPhee will be playing, although we do know that a key component of the storyline will focus on a group of human scientists attempting to survive in San Francisco.

The new film will pick up some 15 years after the events of its predecessor, with humanity decimated by the ape-borne flu that reared its head last time out. Meanwhile, chief ape Caesar is having problems remaining in control of the revolution we saw him kick-start…

Directed by Matt Reeves and co-starring the returning Andy Serkis as Caesar, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 23 May 2014.
