"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" Director Drops Out Of Sequel!

The director of the amazing 2011 prequel/reboot, Rupert Wyatt announced that he was not returning to direct the highly-anticipated 2014 sequel, "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes".
Now Fox is rushing to try and find a new director to take over and stay on track for the already confirmed May 23rd 2014 release date.
Names such as Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy) are being tipped to be taking on the role. Reeves very recently dropped out of directing the upcoming BIG-screen reboot of classic TV show, "The Twilight Zone", which is being produced by Christopher Nolan. That could be a sign that he may be involved in the Apes sequel.
