20th Century Fox have done some fine work recently in world building for their forthcoming films. One need only look at the TED talk given by Guy Pearce’s Peter Weyland and the ‘unboxing’ video for Michael Fassbender’s David to see how dedicated they were, and how much expense they went to, in order to bring us back to the world of Alien for Prometheus.
Now we are on a return course to the Planet of the Apes series with Dawn rising in just a few weeks time. Though we know about the beginning of war and the plague Matt Reeves’ film picks up the story ten years after the events of Rise, and much has changed in that time.
20th Century Fox commissioned Motherboard to create a series of short films to bridge the gap between the films Rise and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and you can see them all below. There is some fine work done here to tell of the slow death of the world.
