Back in the end of March, we got to see the first TV spot for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the upcoming sequel to 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Now, Fox has released the full-length trailer for the film – watch it here below! Also below is the international version of the trailer; it’s the same length, but is reedited and also features some different camera angles than the U.S. version.

Directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Jason Clarke, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Judy Greer, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes open in theaters on July 11, 2014.

During Sunday’s season finale of The Walking Dead, viewers got another tantalizing glimpse at this summer’s super simian sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in the form of the film’s first television spot.

So what makes this spot worth watching? Three words: APES ON HORSEBACK! I fell in love the moment a massive gate opened to show us ape leader Caesar (Andy Serkis) and some of his loyal followers sitting atop noble steeds and geared up for some serious stuff to start. The visual effects work in this film could do the unthinkable and easily surpass the technical accomplishments of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Audiences won’t get to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the latest sequel in the long-running sci-fi franchise, until this summer, but 20th Century Fox must surely be happy with how the anticipated film is shaping up because they have signed Dawn director Matt Reeves to both co-write and direct the next Apes adventure.

Reeves, who also directed Cloverfield and Let Me In, will share scripting duties on the third entry in the rebooted Apes franchise that was reborn with the surprising success of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes with Mark Bomback. The original screenplay for Dawn was written by Rise scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver and went through rewrites by Scott Z. Burns (Contagion) and Bomback. In addition to this summer’s smashing X-flick The Wolverine, Bomback has also worked on the scripts for Live Free or Die Hard, Tony Scott’s final movie Unstoppable, and last summer’s Total Recall remake.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes ended on a bittersweet note. Caesar (Andy Serkis) had evolved his fellow apes at an unexpectedly fast pace, and a stealthy killer virus was being spread throughout the world. Now 20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which shows us just how far humanity has fallen, and how apes have risen up to be the dominate species.

But how well has humanity fared since those events have transpired, and are the apes really off in a better place now that they have established themselves as the dominate species? You’ll just have to hit the trailer below to find out.

Yesterday, we brought you full coverage of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where the first footage from the upcoming sequel was shown.

Today, the first official image from the film has been released. Check it out here in full below.

The image is of Caesar and is taken from some of the footage that we saw in Hall H yesterday. In it, he’s leading his army and is about to give the signal to strike.
