Filmmaker Matt Reeves said he would like to take the "Planet of the Apes" film series forward.

	"The conflicts of the future are not going to be humans and apes, they will be apes and apes. I wanted to seed that idea because I thought there were a lot more stories and there are characters that I have grown to love.
