"RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES" WILL USE ASL

The upcoming late summer film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (POTA) will feature the super-intelligent apes with the use of sign language to communicate with each others.

The rise of apes overtake human beings as the supreme order of life after the genetic
engineering with ape breeding went all wrong.

That must be very interesting to view the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". The original film series of the "Planet of the Apes" from the 1970s - "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" did not include any kind of sign language within the chimpanzee known as "Cornelius".

  1. Will the apes look like they do in the original film series and speak English?
    EditHistoryDelete The apes this time around will be more realistic so they will look like real apes and not people in costumes. Since in real life, apes' vocal cords are located higher in their throats and cannot be controlled as well as human vocal cords, they cannot speak English. Instead, they will communicate through sign language. However, towards the end the film, they may speak English by using a speech synthesizer that interprets their sign language or through some genetic enhancement that alters their vocal cords.
