Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, 20th Century’s latest installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise, has begun production at Disney Studios Australia, formerly known as Fox Studios Australia, in Sydney, New South Wales.

The screenplay is by Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Patrick Aison. Wes Ball is directing. As part of the production deal, the film will receive $17 million AUD ($10 million) in support from the Australian government as well as additional funding through Screen NSW’s ‘Made In NSW’ fund.
