Rise of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray coming in December

Rupert Wyatt‘s reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise is absolutely brilliant and, hands down, the best adventure film of the blockbuster summer season. And from the look of the announcement from Fox, the Blu-ray edition of the film should be a worthy release, at least in as much as the special features are concerned. There’s a ton of them here, from multiple commentary tracks to deleted scenes and featurettes. Hell, there’s even a doc about Andy Serkis! Rise of the Planet of the Apes will be on store shelves December 13th in the US and Canada and December 7th internationally.

    James Franco (127 Hours) stars as Will Rodman, a neuroscientist living in San Francisco trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer’s disease by testing on chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. After a test subject’s baby, Caesar, is orphaned, Will decides to raise him at home on his own with his Alzheimer-stricken father (John Lithgow; “Dexter”). What begins simply as a continuation of his experiment quickly turns into a problem for Will, as Caesar is taken away from him and forced to live in a primate facility. As Caesar’s intelligence continues to grow, he begins to stake his claim as the leader of his new primate counterparts, which will ultimately lead to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES.
