The first TV spot for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes features some narration that truly puts the building war between simians and humans in perspective.

The voice over simply talks about what makes the apes so scary is that they don’t need heat, lights, power… anything. That would do it. Plus, there’s something truly frightening and intimidating about apes riding horses at those breathtaking speeds!

The TV trailer also commences with a haunting shot of all those apes ready to attack as a gate opens. Caesar is clearly our leader, and he is not pleased, to say the least!  

Andy Serkis is back as Caesar and he is joined in the motion capture suit by Judy Greer.

The human cast features Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke and Keri Russell.
