See how Weta was able to bring Life to RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Weta is a company that has helped breathe life into so many great films over the years. From their work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to the aliens in District 9, to their recent work on Avatar, their team of unbelievable artists and technicians have given films realistic characters over the years that exceed traditional CGI. The company has raised the bar they set for themselves with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. You will be able to read my full review of the new film on Friday morning. Yet, for now, watch this new promotional video that details how the company created the amazing visual-effects in the film. This is an absolutely must-see for those who are looking forward to this new summer blockbuster. The video can be viewed after the break.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes opens everywhere this Friday.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
