James Franco who plays scientist Will Rodman in the upcoming Rise Of The Apes prequel to the Planet Of The Apes speaks briefly on getting the role
On Joining The Cast:
“I saw ‘127 Hours‘ as an opportunity to have an unusual acting experience, and I honestly felt the same way about ‘Planet of the Apes’ where when I first heard about it I thought “Well, hmm, I don’t know. Those masks have cult value, but…’ And then I found out, ‘Oh, that that’s not how they’re doing it,’ that it’s actually all of Peter Jackson’s Weta people doing CG and that I’ll be working with Andy Serkis who played Gollum. I was such a big fan of those movies and I am interested in new ways of performing and new ways of filmmaking so I thought why not?”
On Wokring with Andy Serkis:
“There’s no way we would ever get scenes that we did with a real chimpanzee. Because Andy’s so good at that behavior, it’s like acting opposite a real chimpanzee with great acting instincts. It was cool, it was new-new for me.”
Rise Of The Apes is scheduled for a June 24th, 2011 and stars
James Franco, John Lithgow, Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, and David Oyelowo.
