Four New 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Character Posters

Before Jason Clarke battles robots from the future in Terminator: Genesis, he'll scrap against intelligent apes in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Directed by Matt Reeves and bringing back Andy Serkis as the mad simian ruler Caesar, the marketing campaign is about to kick off in a few days when the first trailer debuts. For now we'll have to settle for a handful of new character posters of Caesar and his generals.

Co-starring Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo, Karin Konoval, and Judy Greer, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens July 11th 2014. Check out the images and the plot synopsis below. [Slashfilm]

PLOT: 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. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
