Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 12:07PM Fox Moves 'Caesar: Rise of the Apes' from Summer to Fall

Can't say I didn't see this coming. We're merely two weeks into the new year, but the race to the summer of 2011 has already begun. As posters, trailers, and official images of all this summer's tentpole films start to make their way onto the internet, there's one blockbuster noticeably missing. And that would be 20th Century Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel Caesar: Rise of the Apes. Seeing as how we're 5 months from the film's planned June release and we haven't gotten anything other than a few set photos, it's no surprise that the studio has decided to push the film from this summer back to November 23, 2011.
But it's not just the apes that are getting bumped by the studio, a handful of other Fox films are having their release dates changed as well. Hit the jump to see who else is on the move.
It's unfortunate to see Caesar bumped, as a negative connotation is usually associated with a move like this and this film was a dark horse candidate to be a favorite of mine this summer. But after a little more thought, this film does seem a little better suited for a Thanksgiving release and I'd rather them take the time to get the effects right instead of rushing the product to the screen. With the Super Bowl on Fox next month, I'd be willing to bet we'll get our first trailer sometime during the game (and hopefully one for X-Men: First Class as well) and should have a better idea of the state of the project then.
As far as the other Fox releases being moved:
-Mr. Popper's Penguins starring Jim Carrey moves forward from August 12 to June 17
-The Big Year starring Jack Black and Steve Martin moves back to October 14
-The Sitter with Sam Rockwell and Jonah Hill also moves forward from July to June 24
-Monte Carlo with Selena Gomez jumps from August 12 to July 1
-RomCom What's Your Number? moves all the way back from April to September 30
-Andrew Niccol's Sci-Fi flick Now starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried also gets bumped from September to October 28
