Today’s the day we as a viewing public get to see more footage and behind-the-scenes video from “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes”! Monday, we all got to see the four-second clip, which was impressive; due to the quality of that teaser. I’m expecting to be blown away by what else they have in store.
