Article Summary
- 20th Century unveils new TV spot for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
- Three international posters released, adding hype to the simian saga.
- Marketing blitz hints at [possible] studio confidence in the franchise's latest film.
- Fans advised to dodge spoilers as promotional material ramps up pre-release.
The massive marketing push for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes continues, and you have to wonder if 20th Century and Disney either have a ton of faith in it or none at all. It feels like if they knew this wouldn't go anywhere, they could have stopped pushing this film so hard a while ago, but the long march carries on. As always, we remind you that the final weeks leading up to a film release are when marketing loves to spoil massive plot points, usually in TV spots or clips. So, if you already know you want to see this film, it might be a good idea to stop watching all the TV spots and clips. You might be able to get away with watching the featurettes if you're a giant nerd and you like seeing how these movies come to be. We got another new TV sport today, and IMP Awards has three international posters for your viewing pleasure. The posters aren't great, as usual, but the footage for this movie continues to look really promising.
