Peter Chernin Pictures: Peter Chernin arrives at the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" movie premiere held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on July 28, 2011 in Hollywood, California
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the first live-action film in the history of movies to star, and be told from the point of view of, a sentient animal -- a character with human-like qualities, who can strategize, organize and ultimately lead a revolution, and with whom audiences will experience a real emotional bond. The film was impossible to make until the technology, invented for "Avatar" and now advanced to a new dimension, caught up to the idea behind the movie.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" opens in theaters nationwide on August 5.
