“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” Trailer 1

This is 20th Century Fox’s first trailer for “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, Andy Serkis.

A single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other — and to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. The Oscar-winning visual effects team that brought to life the worlds of Avatar and Lord of the Rings is breaking new ground, creating a CGI ape that delivers a dramatic performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence, and epic battles on which rest the upended destinies of man and primate.

“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” arrives in theaters August 5, 2011.
