First Look at Andy Serkis as Ape Leader Caeser on the Set of ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’
Here’s our first look at Andy Serkis filming a weird Old Spice commercial on the set of Matt Reeves’ (Cloverfield, Let Me In) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Serkis is in his full performance-capture suit as he reprises his role of Caeser, a highly intelligent ape leader who, along with the rest of his species, becomes threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. Also pictured above are newcomers Jason Clarke, Keri Russell & Kodi Smit-McPhee. Filming continues in Vancouver, Canada.

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
