Rather than something like king kong where i really went after studying gorillas in the wild and captivity. i based caesar [ from the rise of the planet of the apes] on a real chimpanzee and i worked with terry [notary] on a lot of chimpanzee movement.

In less than a century we experienced great movement. the youth movement! the labor movement! the civil rights movement! the peace movement! the solidarity movement! the women's movement! the disability movement! the disarmament movement! the gay rights movement! the environmental movement! movement! transformation! is there any reason to believe we are done?

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

When you start to do research into gorillas or any kind of apes, if you're going to play them, that's one of the biggest misconceptions. and when i did kong, you're not doing gorilla movements, you're not doing ape movements, you're looking for a personality. it's like saying okay i'm going to do human movements.

While we were shooting the movie, we shot in the actual hotel in hong kong where it all went down, the mira hotel. laura poitras was coming to hong kong to do a screening of citizenfour, and she ended up staying at the mira hotel. it was her first time back in hong kong, and i ran into her in the elevator. literally i had just finished shooting one day, and i came back to the hotel and she was in the elevator.

...chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans are thinking, self-aware beings, capable of planning ahead, who form lasting social bonds with others and have a rich social and emotional life. the great apes are therefore an ideal case for showing the arbitrariness of the species boundary. if we think that all human beings, irrespective of age or mental capacity, have some basic rights, how can we deny that the great apes, who surpass some humans in their capacities, also have these rights?
Emotional Thinking Animal
Caesar [from the rise of the planet of the apes] was brought up with human beings and because of the drug he had pretty much grown up with his whole life, he felt like an outsider, he felt trapped in an ape's body but he didn't really feel like an ape and that was my way into the character. so he's always had this duality playing him from an infant all the way to now as a fifty-five year old ape.

You just can never count on a formula, on a movie that you think is going to be a big hit, and that's why you do it. you have to choose each one for what you think you'll learn and the fun you'll have. and maybe the cool people that you work with or a character that you're going to be able to explore ... you just keep your fingers crossed.
