In the first “Hanging Out,” meet Maurice. Previously in the monkey sanctuary alongside Caeser and played stunningly by Karin Konoval, Maurice is the gentle orangutan. In this segment, Maurice extends interest and companionship to the humans, especially Alexander, the young son of Malcom (the guy who also wants to lead the humans to peace with the apes.) It’s a tender moment where human and smart ape can work together. Maurice is also one of the best parts of the primates, with a background in circus and a courageously beautiful heart. | |
| Dawn of the Planet of the Apes follows the previous segment Rise, and revolves around star Ape Caeser. In this other clip, we see Caeser and his development into the grand leader he is today. In the previous movie, Rise followed Will Rodman, a scientist who genetically modified an ape only to have her die. But her son, Caeser, was born with the mental capabilities of a human and as he progresses through the film, he learns how to sign and speak. Now in Dawn, Caeser is a revolutionary leader, trying to unite both species of apes and humans without war breaking out. He’ll find his passions tested as he has loyalties to both sides. |
