So far, what we know about Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
(From RopesOfSilicon.com):
is that the film is set 15 years after the events of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes and will focus on a growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

On May 8th, 2013, the studio announced the start of principal photography and noted that Toby Kebbell and Enrique Murciano had joined the cast, which already included Serkis, Jason Clarke, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Gary Oldman,Keri Russell and Judy Greer. It looks like James Franco won’t be returning.
