"There's this really seductive quality to his performance. A vulnerability that really raises what was written on the page. Also not on the page: Johnny's nasal voice. There's a scene, inspired by the book, in which Johnny watches Marlon Brando in The Wild One, and Tom Hardy latched onto that. He didn't let me hear the voice until we were rolling. We were on set on the first day and he starts to talk. I sit there for a second and I'm kind of processing it. Then Tom goes, 'What do you think?' And I was like, 'I f*cking love it!'" — 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘀 about 𝗧𝗼𝗺 in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 in the 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 Magazine 🏍️❤️‍🔥

I can't wait to watch his performance 🙏🏻💓

The full Empire Magazine article about Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes has dropped new images and world-building lore.

A new character was introduced: an ape named Koro, played by Neil Sandilands

Noa's tribe has built their homes in powerline towers left behind by humanity

Erik Winquist, VFX Supervisor, pointed out that fashions are different between ape tribes. Noa's community wears "woven adornments" while the apes led by Proximus Caesar sport "Romanesque armour made from the scavenged remains of human things"

The idea of trained birds like the one seen with Noa in the poster and teaser trailer came from our own love of pets. Director Wes Ball said "That idea came from, 'Man domesticated dogs, so maybe [apes] domesticated eagles?' It was actually the first image I created for the movie. I could just put that up on the wall and say, 'There it is. There's the feel of our movie.'"

WE DID IT!!!

WE DID IT!!!

WE DID IT!!!

Hayden growled or shouted!!!

Christensen opened up on his time in the galaxy far, far away. “It’s been a remarkable experience. And just a very heartwarming one,” he tells Empire. “The journey that I’ve been on with Star Wars over the last 20 plus years... it’s been a wild ride, and where we’re at now is really meaningful to me.” While the backlash against the prequels was difficult to take, he’s pleased to see how beloved all three films are today. “I think that those movies have held up well over time,” he says. “It feels like vindication for the work that we did. Everyone that worked on those movies thought that we were part of something special. We all wanted to do our very best work, and we cared a lot about it. And so to see the response from the fans now, it’s very cool.” That response includes excitement from younger fans – who are always thrilled to meet the man who… well, murdered all the Jedi younglings in Revenge Of The Sith. “There was a lot of talk about us doing that scene, and I love that George did it. It was a bold move. And it’s shocking,” the actor says. “Kids seem to forget about that scene when they meet me! There’s not any fear or intimidation. They’re just excited to meet Anakin.” Having ridden out the stormy reception to the prequels – and returned to the Star Wars galaxy in recent years for appearances in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka – Christensen reflected on the advice that he would give to his younger self before stepping into Attack Of The Clones. “Even though I was a bit overwhelmed, I was also a confident young man, and I wanted to make my mark. But I guess if I were to have some advice for me during that general time in my life, it would be: ‘Patience’,” he decides. “Because my journey with the character and with Star Wars has at times been a bumpy one... but I’m in a good place with it now. And so that’s why I say patience.” In 2024, there’s undoubtedly balance to the Force.
