"The script for the upcoming Caesar: Rise of the Apes is thought to pay homage to the 1968 original Planet of the Apes. According to ScifiWire, the Rupert Wyatt-directed Caesar will be penned by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who have centred the movie on genetic research.  The film will see Will, a doctor trying to cure Alzheimer&amp;#039;s, working with monkeys to create a benign virus that can get into brain tissue and restore functionality. After his research is shut down, he&amp;#039;s left with just one chimp, the child of his most promising subject, and Will raises him at home. The monkey&amp;#039;s name is reported to be Caesar, who is incredibly intelligent and continues to mutate and evolve, looking less like a chimp and moving on from sign language to actual speech. The film&amp;#039;s climax sees Caesar leading an army of apes in an uprising, just as a catastrophe strikes mankind. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
