What's left behind the scenes
- Andy Serkis, Terry Notary, and Karin Konoval are the only actors who appeared in all the films of the "Planet of the Apes" trilogy. Serkis played Caesar, the leader of all the apes, while Notary and Konoval played Rocket and Maurice, Caesar's close associates.
- The ninth film in the "Planet of the Apes" franchise.
- According to director Matt Reeves, the group of human rebels is called "Alpha and Omega." This is a reference to the cobalt bomb that the human mutants worshipped in Ted Post's "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" (1970). Even the symbol on their helmets and flag is a copy of the symbol on the bomb, the explosion of which concludes the second film in the franchise.
- The girl Nova was named after a character played by Linda Harrison in the first two films of the franchise (1968 and 1970). The same actress also appeared in a cameo role in Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" (2001).
- Unlike her colleagues Andy Serkis and Terry Notary, 55-year-old Canadian actress Karin Konoval had never performed stunt work on set before joining the franchise, and to prepare for the role of orangutan Maurice, she spent a lot of time with primates at the zoo, as well as learning their movements and habits, while wearing heavy weights on each arm to look more realistic on screen.
- Actors Andy Serkis (Caesar) and Toby Kebbell (Koba) have both played King Kong. Andy Serkis in Peter Jackson's "King Kong" (2005), where, in addition to King Kong himself, he also played the small role of cook Lumpy, and Toby Kebbell in "Kong: Skull Island" (2017), where, in addition to King Kong himself, he also played the small role of Major Jack Chapman. Interestingly, the supporting characters in both films die midway through from the hands of the monsters on the island, but not from King Kong.
- The young monkeys in the corresponding scenes were played by the filmmakers' children. Terry Notary specifically trained his children to move like monkeys, on all fours.
- Post-production took over a year, as the filmmakers strived to make the monkeys – and especially their facial expressions – as realistic as possible.
- Real horses and stunt performers were used in almost all scenes involving horses, and only one scene with Caesar on a horse was the product of computer technology.
- Director Matt Reeves noted that the apes in Rupert Wyatt's science fiction films "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011) and Matt Reeves' own "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" (2014) walk around unclothed. In the civilization of apes in the original film of the franchise, it was customary to walk clothed, although the character played by Steve Zahn also wears clothes. Like Terry Notary's character, he is not covered in fur, but while in Notary's case this is likely the result of alopecia or baldness, in Zahn's hero the fur fell out due to old age.
- In the first film of the franchise in 1967, Taylor finds a talking doll at an archaeological dig site and presents it to the apes as proof that humans once knew how to speak. In this film, the doll lacks any facial features (suggesting an inability to speak) and serves as a carrier for a virus that causes muteness.
- According to director Matt Reeves, the group of rebels is called “Alpha and Omega.” This is a reference to the cobalt bomb that the mutant humans worshiped in Ted Post's film "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" (1970).
