After the addition of Jason Clarke last week the cast seems to be gaining some more momentum with the announcement of another lead role. Kodi Smit-McPhee (
Let Me In, ParaNorman) has been cast in another unspecified lead role.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes takes place 15 years after the events of the first film and focuses on the human survivors struggling to survive in San Francisco. The thing that confuses me a bit about McPhee's casting is he is still a teenager which means he would have been a baby/toddler when the monkey virus outbreak happens at the end of the first one, but they might make his character a little older than he is. Either that or maybe he's playing Clarke's son or something.
This marks the second Matt Reeves film that McPhee will appear in. McPhee had a lead role in
Let Me In back in 2010.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the sixth film added to McPhee's busy schedule. His upcoming projects also include
A Birder's Guide to Everything, The Congress, Romeo and Juliet, The Wilderness of James, and
The Young Ones.
I'm excited for this because I actually like Kodi Smit-McPhee for what it's worth. I loved him in
Let Me In and I think as far as voice work went he did a great job in
ParaNorman. Then again, I liked
ParaNorman in general. I'm curious to see exactly what role he will have.
