A Complete Unknown is far from the worst thing you'll see this Christmas season, and many people will probably like it simply because of the various performances.

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes: William H. Macy Joins The Cast
William H. Macy has reportedly joined the cast of 20th Century Studios Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes in an unknown role.
The next chapter in the Planet of the Apes films started production back in October. We got some casting announcements, including Owen Teague, Freya Allan, Peter Macon, Eka Darville, and Kevin Durand. We have some brief story details that we got when the first image was released, but we haven't heard anything since, and the movie has been shooting in Australia since October with no word whether or not they have wrapped. It sounds like they probably haven't since we got a new cast member announcement from Deadline. According to the trade, William H. Macy has joined the cast in an unknown role, and they use the words "rounds out" in the report, so it sounds like this might be the principal cast for this film. 20th Century doesn't have an easy place to make a splash anywhere outside of somewhere like CinemaCon or Comic-Con, so provided that Disney makes a showing in April in Las Vegas for a CinemaCon presentation, maybe that is when we'll see some footage and get some more details on this film.
From the original press release about the production starting: "Planet of the Apes" is one of 20th Century Studios' most popular and enduring franchises, amassing more than $1.7 billion worldwide. Based on a novel by Pierre Boulle, the first film in the series was released by Twentieth Century-Fox in 1968 and went on to become one of the year's biggest hits, winning a special Academy Award® and followed by four theatrical sequels and two television series. A remake, "Planet of the Apes," directed by Tim Burton, was released in 2001, then a 2011 reboot, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was followed by two sequels, 2014's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and 2017's "War for the Planet of the Apes."
