OK. I stopped watching after the second movie, so I didn't know this.
If the timeline is at all preserved, they would have to have some kind of nuclear war if they were to worship an Atomic bomb, I would think.
First look at Caesar from Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Feels to me like it could be a bit more sophisticated than that. Although even if it is just a horror movie, at least it looks like a pretty well-executed one.
I'm not sure what to think. This is certainly very shiny and nice looking, I'm hoping that's a feint for some nice monkey mayhem in the film's climax. I always had a soft spot for Escape and Conquest, so I'm inclined to give this the benefit of the doubt.
I'll say this, that trailer was not made for POTA fans. That was definitely to get the casual fans and the people that may have heard of the originals, but never watched them. Would be nice to see maybe a web-only release of a trailer cut for Apes fans specifically.

Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!!!!
I'm glad the scientists were aware enough that what they were doing could lead to disaster that they decided to name their primary test ape "Caesar." I mean, it's almost begging for the animal to go, er, "ape-shit" and take over the world.
But I guess if the genesis of the take-over wouldn't have quite the same kick to it if the animal's name was Coco.

That's the first time I've ever seen a visual effects company get plugged in the trailer.
As for the rest of it, it looks like a standard "we invented a serum/computer system/virus/magic handbag and it got out of control." It might as well be a zombie movie. Lame.
As a fellow VFX artist (on the comp side, not the 3d side like yourself), thats the first thing I thought as well. We will get billing!
Rest of it looks pretty good. I'll see it.
In the original Series, wasn't Ceasar's mother brought back through time and she delivered him in her past. So, the original Origin is that Ceasar was simply offsping of already evolved Apes? (Only seen past the 2nd movie once, and that was alot of years ago)
yes, that's correct.
Yikes, time travel? So glad I've stuck all these years with just watching the original, classic movie.
Part 1 and Part 2- Set in the far future
Part 3- Cornelius,Zira and another ape figure out how to work the shuttle from Part 1. They land in 1971. The apes become famous. Zira gives birth to Caesar. Caesar is given to a carnival worker.
Part 4- 1991 or 1992. The apes have become enslaved. Caesar's owner dies. The apes rise. Caesar leads them.
Part 5 -Early 21 century.

Yep - it's a loop. No future apes, no time travel, then no ape uprising.
The first, third and fourth movies were the best. The last one was done on the cheap, and the second one - well, the best review I saw of it at the time was very short: "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes is beneath Planet Of The Apes."
Just watched the trailer. Having grown up with the original movies (over the years, in the pre-home video era, I saw the first movie thirty times on the big screen), this looks totally awesome.
Something to note is that in Boulle's book there's no devastating war mentioned - there is a point at which Cornelius is able to come up with details of the distant past, however, and one human eyewitness to the decline of humans and the revolt of the apes is a researcher whose laboratory apes turn the tables and cage up the human scientists, giving the humans the same injections that were being used on them. This is slightly reminiscent of that.
Concept art
Yep.
