Andy Serkisin aika johtavana Caesar-apinana päättyi kolmen elokuvan jälkeen. Uskottavasti apinan näytteleminen vaatii paljon työtä. Ainakin Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes -näyttelijä Owen Teaguen mukaan. Games Radarille Teague paljasti, että heillä oli ihan oma opettajansa.
"We had this movement teacher, Alain Gauthier. Well, that was his title - but he was much more than that. He helped us create these characters. He worked with us to get the physicality down, but he also helped us make these characters our own and find their voices. It was a blast."
"We started with exercises to get in touch with our bodies and build strength because we're doing very physical stuff in this movie. And then we started getting our characters on our feet. We started speaking. Alain helped with everything."
Teague meni lisäksi viettämään laatuaikaa oikeiden apinoiden kanssa oppiakseen paremmin tavoille.
"I went to a place called the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida. Which is about an hour away from where I grew up. Our producers know the director of the sanctuary, Patti Ragan, who said I could spend some time there to hang out with the apes. That ended up being a really wonderful experience."
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ensi-iltailee toukokuun lopussa 2024.
