The acclaimed ape drama is set to return with a new film in development. The original 1968 Planet of the Apes film was based on a novel by French writer Pierre Boulle.

Fox has tapped filmmaker and Maze Runner helmer Wes Ball to direct the new installment in the iconic franchise. 

The new film marks the first significant title to set in motion following Disney’s acquisition of the studio.

It is unclear whether the newly announced project, still in very early stages of development will be a new reboot an extension of the previous film series, Matt Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes.

Ike Barinholtz joins the previously announced Emma Roberts, Justin Hartley and Glenn Howerton in the highly charged political thriller. 

Barinholtz is best known for his role on The Mindy Project. His big screen credits include his directorial debut last year, The Oath, in which he also stared opposite Tiffany Haddish.

The Hunt was written by Lost and The Leftovers scribes Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse. Directing is Craig Zobel who will also executive produce alongside Cuse. Blumhouse’s Jason Blum will produce, alongside Lindelof via his White Rabbit banner.

Plot and character details are kept under wraps, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the “subversive script that takes its cues from the current political climate in America, elevating the current conflict between right and left wings to a violent level.”

The production is set to begin this month. The Hunt has been set for an October 18 premiere.
