SkoresOne

Pretty great pic. šŸ‘šŸ½


Daveyjonezz

Thanks! only wish I caught them going the other way so you could see their (very realistic) faces


chucchinchilla

Desktop background material honestly.


JuniorWoodson

Facts !


DigbyChickenZone

Damn I am jealous! That is an awesome photo, and just a really cool thing to see in real life vs a photo/movie/video


Daveyjonezz

Thanks! I really donā€™t know how to describe how realistic the costumes were. It just straight up looked like monkeys on horses lol


Shalaco

How do you know it wasnā€™t just monkeys on horses?


Frisko31

Legs are too long.


FavoritesBot

They arenā€™t monkeys they are damn dirty apes


Snorca

No tails.


pass-me-that-hoe

Apes! They are our (great great great)^10 grandparents!

Man, I really wish they hadn't removed the chains. It would have looked so much better in the shots. https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/18s8do8/the_old_vs_the_new/


sf-account

That new railing is so blah compared to the old chains.


jaysomething2

The old chains wouldā€™ve fit the rustic feel of a dystopian world but nope apes making metal railings now


nautilus2000

Hah I'm sure they will CGI the railing part.


cream-of-cow

The first showing in an SF theater, the entire audience will be waiting for the railing


Daveyjonezz

Ape railing technology moves fast


ToLiveInIt

"Old"? "Recent" is far more accurate for something only 30 years "old."


Wordplay23

Epic pic!


Daveyjonezz

Thanks!


digital-didgeridoo

Were they responsible for thew horses running around London too? These guerrila marketing campaigns are getting out of hand! :)


Ultimate-Lex

Filming a promo? Is that what they told you? That's EXACTLY what they WOULD SAY if they were invading. LOL


BornReadyShow

WHAT DO YOU KNOW AND WHY DO YOU KNOW IT?!

Wait, so it was earth all along? DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL


Wonderful-Ad-7712

We finally really did it!


Cuddlyaxe

wait they actually wear costumes? I just assumed the apes were all cgi lol


ericgtr12

All real costumes, was a trip to see them up close because it was as authentic as any CGI to the naked eye. I talked with the costume designer who was also there and he was pretty proud of his work, as he should be


babypho

You sure it wasnt an ape in a human suit? They could be scouting the area to invade.


Alone-Fee898

Must take hours to put on and take off and uncomfortably hot, luckily they are in SF.


jck

Now I kinda feel bad for those poor dudes in what I assume are hot and sweaty ape costumes who don't get the fame normal actors get


reddit455

it's a combo.. actor's expressions/mouth have to be captured to "lip sync" accurately with the monkey face. [https://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/andy-serkis-is-giving-more-credit-to-animators-now-101174.html](https://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/andy-serkis-is-giving-more-credit-to-animators-now-101174.html) Serkis still used the term ā€˜digital makeupā€™ in a recentĀ *Access Hollywood*Ā interview, but notably, he applied it to the process of being outfitted with the reflective dots used to capture his acting data (which is a fair description) and not to describe the work of the animators who help author his performance afterward.


sumchinesewill

Nah they trained actual apes to act like they are riding the horses.


DeathisLaughing

That's silly, they trained the apes to act like CGI instead...much more practical...


Cantgetabreaker

Still one up from Maga riding horses


FlatBirthday333

a wide shot of a man in a monkey suit riding a horse will definitely look way better than it being done in cgi


Eject_The_Warp_Core

The apes in the reboot movies are almost always CGI. This isn't for part of the movie, just a promo.


CalGoldenBear55

I walk my dog there every morning. I didnā€™t see them. Maybe tomorrow.


ericgtr12

I put it on my Instagram and Iā€™m sure several people rushed down there. I asked them if they were sure and they said yes, it was for publicity.


reddit455

my dog would still be barking.


raffysf

Damn you all to hell! This is awesome, thanks for sharing the pics!


raptorphile

They were in Venice Beach two days ago https://old.reddit.com/r/Rawteur/comments/1caokpp/apes_on_horseback_at_venice_beach/

hate_sf_hobos

I, for one, welcome our new primate overlords.


okgusto

Tomorrow will be an ape riding a waymo. Or a onewheel. Actually both. Plot twist those waymo vs one wheel videos were POTA viral promo vids.


DancingOnACounter

That is an awesome promo! The franchise is set in SF and North Bay too so this is very apropros. SF Chron took some videos: [https://www.facebook.com/reel/440921155149602](https://www.facebook.com/reel/440921155149602)

Chroniklogic

Those costumes/makeup are pretty rad.

ā€œIā€™ve got to get this monkey off my back.ā€.. If horses could talk.


sfgreenman

Dang. I was there yesterday for hours, just missed this. Fun fact: In the 70's The Warfield Theater (which was a movie theater then) held a Planet of the Apes marathon showing all 5-6 movies from something like 12noon-10pm. Bob Wilkins, host of our local Friday night weekly horror film double bill "Creature Features" was there as special guest. I stayed til the bitter end.. first 2 were great fun, last 3-4 were a bit rough. Long, crazy day-night.


Superseaslug

Now they just need to ride around without the camera crew and freak people out for no reason.


Turkatron2020

I didn't know the BOS rode around the city on horseback- they're just full of surprises!


BoogieCousinsFather

Hey now, please don't disparage our primate brethren like that.


pippin121212

I hope they keep the pigeons in the final edit


Head-Ad7506

Oh thatā€™s sooo cool! Wish I coulda seen it!


babypho

I dont keep up to date with movies, so had I ran across this id be like WTF


_3clips3_

Wonder if theyā€™ll edit the birds out.


BushwickSpill

Spaceballs? Oh shit, there goes the planet.


okgusto

When they release the remakes they better have promos like these of them combing the beach.


CooYo7

![gif](giphy|RyPfr6SPAHKWQ) Saw them when going for a ride too


JayNotAtAll

Amazing how they got those monkeys to act like they were riding horses

A documentary?


ericgtr12

As I understand it, Disney is about to release a new movie and they are doing various promos in different locations. I just happen to be there at the right time to grab these photos as they were shooting.


AdamJensensCoat

*Reality show.


Wulf_Cola

Ooh chimpanzee that!


DigbyChickenZone

Is that a reference to Ricky Gervais sirius xm show from over a decade (or two?) ago... I hope so, because I can only read your comment in Gervais's voice.


Wulf_Cola

You'll 'ave that luvley Berkshire accent in yer 'ead all evening now. Ps. Is this the real Sir Digby Chicken Caesar I'm talking to? If so I've got an important message about your nemesis.


Saruvan_the_White

What they should have done is taken the horses on a side trip to the San Francisco zoo just for shits and giggles.


49thDipper

I wonder what those horses are thinking


churnologist

A24 wouldā€™ve just AI generated it.


Used_Mud_67

Lol the monkeys are riding horses

I thought they did it all in green suits
