Although this trailer isn't named "Trailer 2" officially, like they do now, it's a different edit to the longer trailer you might have seen on accessreel.com. It's more menacing with more shots of apes and chimps running amok. If this is all news to you, then the upcoming movie is a reboot of the famous 1970s film franchise and is the work of Rupert Wyatt who directed the 2008 crime drama THE ESCAPIST. More after the jump.

We have a couple of trailers that hit the net today, first up is RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Tom Felton and Andy Serkis. The special effects are done by Weta Digital the guys also behind Avatar and Lord of the Rings. The trailer looks good its sort of like an 'origins' story so a bit different to what we have seen before... Looks awesome but also kinda creepy.
