Why Kingdom of the Planet Of The Apes’ New Star Still Finds The Original 1968 Film ‘A Little Bit Unnerving’

Film

This week, fans of the Planet of the Apes franchise were treated to an epic Super Bowl trailer from the upcoming entry from the series. As Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes inches a bit closer to the time period that the original movie was set in, CinemaBlend talked with the movie’s new star about his thoughts on the movie that started it all. 

When I spoke to Owen Teague, who got to ride horses in a mo-cap suit through the Australian wilderness as a teen ape named Noa, I shared my own core memory of seeing 1968’s Planet of the Apes when I was a kid. I was rather terrified to see a world run by apes, and he could relate, sharing this:  

I think my first memories of the franchise were also seeing the [1968 version] and being just so scared by it. I think that for some reason that everybody’s memory of that movie is seeing it when they probably were too young to see it and being horrified. And, I watched it a couple months ago and I was like, ‘Oh, this really isn’t that intense. Like this is a pretty chill movie. But there is still something about it that’s a little bit unnerving and I don’t know, maybe it’s like the ape costumes, maybe it’s Charlton Heston’s teeth. I don’t know.
