Matt Reeves? Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has added another lead in Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises). ?The Mark Bomback script takes place 15 years after the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and finds humanity all but wiped out by the race of super-intelligent apes. ?Part of the story centers on a group of scientists in San Francisco who are mounting a resistance against their new oppressors while Caesar (Andy Serkis) struggles to maintain dominance over his kingdom. ?It?s looking like Oldman will play Dreyfus, the leader of a human colony in the sequel, due out May 23, 2014. ?Hit the jump for more.
