With 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' now in theaters, marking a high point for this art form, we take a look back at some of the most incredible instances of motion-capture performances, and see how this art form has evolved.

Riding a huge wave of strong reviews and even stronger buzz, 'Dawn of the Planet Apes' opened big for a non-superhero, non-Transformers movie, leading a top 10 that's full of just as many hits as misses. How about we just start at the top and work our way through?

A new 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' trailer is coming (in theaters with 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'), but to help you get excited for the next installment in the updated 'Apes' franchise, we have a bunch of new pics from the film.

During yesterday's panel for 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' at Comic-Con 2013, we got our very first look at the new Caesar, played by Andy Serkis.

Not much is known about 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' Matt Reeves' sequel to 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' but we do know it has a revolutionary aspect and that Caesar (Andy Serkis) will once again be front and center in this continuation of the ape saga. In anticipation of this week's Comic-Con panel for the film, Reeves revealed some details about his vision.

20th Century Fox is one of the last studios to announce their Comic-Con 2013 plans, but they're promising that the wait was worth it by bringing not only 'The Wolverine' and 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' to Hall H, they're also going to bring a surprise.

Fox has begun slot-calling their summer schedule for the next two years, which makes them conservative compared to Marvel and Sony. 'Independence Day 2' has officially been dated for July 3, 2015, among other changes and updates to their schedule.

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' (the sequel to 2011's surprise hit 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes') has begun filming in Louisiana and we didn't have to wait long to get our first look at the new ape action. Director Matt Reeves tweeted out the first photo from the set this morning and shows us Caesar and his monkey friends have taken a big evolutionary step forward.
