Slumdog Millionare actress Freida Pinto is soon to appear on the big screen alongside actor James Franco in a Planet of the Apes movie called Rise of the Apes. The movie that has been delayed until now and will release on August 5th.
Pinto will play the role of Caroline, a primatologist and Franco’s love interest in the film. Franco will play the role of a modern-day scientist who conducts genetic experiments in the hopes to cure Alzheimers disease. Rise of the Apes was written and produced by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Producing alongside Jaffa and Silver are Dylan Clark and Peter Chernin.
The 20th Century Fox film the dark sci-fi drama is a prequel to Tim Burton’s 2001 “Planet of the Apes,” which itself was an adaptation from a series of “Apes” films that first hit the screen in 1968 starting with the original “Planet of the Apes,” which starred the great Charlton Heston.
Freida can't seem to get away from her Slumdog Millonaire days so perhaps co-starring in a film with an oscar nominated actor may do the trick! Freida has been trying to get ahead in Hollywood ever since her big break and has refused to run the other direction into Bollywood. After Slumdog, the actress tried her hand at two films that disappeared into the abyss of failed Hollywood films.
Success in this film could mean more Hollywood hits for Pinto in the future. Pinto is excited about her role in the film and hopes her fans will enjoy it as much as she did!
