James Franco to play 'Rise of the Apes'
James Franco is set to star in Rise of the Apes, a prequel to Planet of the Apes!
The 32-year-old actor will begin shooting this July in the story of what happens when genetic engineering leads to ape intelligence so great that they battle humans for superiority. James will play “a driven scientist who becomes a crucial figure in the war between humans and apes,” according to Variety.
Rise of the Apes will hit theaters June 24, 2011.
Also up for James this spring is his return to General Hospital.
The 32-year-old actor, who played Franco during a stint on the show last fall, will return next month for a “wild ride of mystery, music, murder and mayhem”. James‘ first airdate back is Wednesday, June 30!
