Fox’s prequel to Planet of the Apes, Rise of the Apes, has its human star – James Franco. The actor signed on to play a young scientist who breaks the rules to try and find a way to cure his father’s Alzheimer’s. Instead he ends up creating a hyperintelligent chimp whose ancestors will one day hose down Charlton Heston.
Franco seems like a fine choice for the role, if only because on paper the character is pretty flavorless and he can do something interesting with it.
Shooting stars July 5th in Canada.

Think that's "descendants," not "ancestors." Unless there's some time traveling going on.
"Shooting stars July 5th in Canada."
Cool! What time? I hope it will be dark enough to see them!
😉
You mean the ape's descendents, right? Or is there some wild time travel twist we haven't heard about yet?

Your laughing now, but pretty soon Fox are going to hire Stephen Baldwin to play the lead chimp. They will laugh and fucking laugh as your tears are enough to fill a river. Fox hate Devin Fox hate Apes Fox make Apes for Devin.
This is great news. Franco is a terrific actor.
Anything Franco does is better because he did it. This bodes well, if he lets his freak flag fly; I just hope it isn't his attempt to go "mainstream".
Cure Alzheimer's? What the hell? Isn't that one of the main plot points (if that movie possesses such a thing) of Deep Blue Sea?
Devin used to illegally pirate music, so much so that he admitted to not buying CDs for months because of it. I would like for him to acknowledge his hypocrasy and then we can all move on, thanks.
Hopefully, the genetically enhanced apes will find a way to top tearing The Octopus in half with two super realistic Ultra Mega Mega sharks, and it will be glorious ass-blasting 3-D.
I am stoked to see Franco getting some headlining work. He's really not the star he deserves to be. And does that say, "A Film by James Franco?" Well, looks like I have a new movie to quest for.
Oh, and THE SPIRIT sucked.

Descendants, Devin, not ancestors.
