With principal photography commencing for 20th Fox's sequel to it's 2011 preboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the big Fox has revealed the plot for 2014's sequel.

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier.

Anyone else excited? I loved "Rise" and this sounds like the movie all the Apes' fans have been waiting for. Cast looks great, and time only means good things for WETA's advancements in the field of VFX and Mo-cap.
