The upcoming home release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will feature a “raw cut” of the movie, showing a side-by-side comparison of the film and its unfinished VFX.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ raw cut, titled “Inside the Lens: The Raw Cut” on the upcoming home release, will be a full-length alternative to the movie, complete with a split-screen comparison between both versions.
What is the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes raw cut?
On one end, the full movie will play, while the other will see unfinished VFX versions to show off how the actors moved around as apes. Alongside the raw cut, optional audio commentary from director Wes Ball, editor Dan Zimmerman, and VFX supervisor Erik Winquist will also be available on the comparison.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set to release on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 27, 2024. A special SteelBook with custom artwork from Dylan Cole will be available, as will a massive, 10-film bundle from the franchise that will retail for $100.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is written by Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, and Amanda Silver, the latter of whom was also a writer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The film is produced by Patrick Aison, Joe Hartwick Jr., Jaffa, Silver, and Jason Reed.
The next film in the Planet of the Apes series stars William H. Macy, Owen Teague, Freya Allen, Dichen Lachman, and Peter Macon, among others. It is set “many years” following the events of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. After Caesar brought his people to an oasis, new ape societies have grown while humans have been reduced to a more “feral-like existence.”
