Time travel and Planet of the Apes. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Or at least, they used to.
Rick Jaffa, who co-wrote and produced the series' hit prequel/reboot/whatever Rise of the Planet of the Apes, says we shouldn't expect any mind-bending causality time loops in the sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
"I don't foresee that," he tells Total Film (via Comic Book Movie.) "But it's interesting you should ask that, because it's the one big element that we made a conscious decision not to explore in the first one, and we were worried that there might be some backlash in the science fiction community because of it. When the story first came together we were very, very excited, and yet before we pitched it, I thought, 'The one thing missing though is time travel. But it's not necessary for this particular telling.'"
Fair enough. Rise worked on its own merits, and while Easter eggs were present that set up the story of the original Planet of the Apes' time-travel aspect, there's not really any need for that device here. That said, anyone requiring a refresher course on the Apes timeline need only scroll down…
