    Brian Cox Joins Rise of the Apes

    DateTue, July 13, 2010

    A report from The Wrap says scenery-chewing great Brian Cox has joined the cast of 20th Century Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel (*Sigh*) Rise of the Apes. This is a reunion for Cox and director Rupert Wyatt having previously worked together on The Escapist.

    Cinema's first Hannibal Lector (or Lecktor as it’s spelled in Manhunter) will play "the villainous owner of a primate sanctuary who runs the facility without compassion for the animals that live there." I'm guesstimating his abuse stems from either punching or flipping off the monkeys.

    Either way, he's another solid actor getting a nice paycheck for an otherwise pointless project.
