I don’t know if you got a chance to check out the exclusive live look at Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Wednesday. It was a pretty awesome interview that included behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the apes!

WETA Digital, the Academy Award winning visual effects team behind films like Avatar and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, hosted the livestream event on the official Facebook fan page for Avatar from their headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand. The 30-minute exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at their work on Apes, a reality-based cautionary tale that blends science fiction and science fact, was kind of esoteric. Actor Andy Serkis, who plays Caesar, keep the concept down to earth.

With that said, I bring you the first teaser trailer for the 20th Century Fox movie. My first take on the movie is that it’s very dark, almost horrific, and very different compared to the Avatar look. Avatar had more light and color.

But, this is the first teaser trailer and the next one might lighten up a bit. But, I doubt it because I know how the story ends. Which brings up the question: Are we interested enough in watching the arc of the story knowing that the apes do rise and conquer humans?
