Coming to 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow will be 20th Century Fox’s War for the Planet of the Apes (review), which already hit digital formats on October 10th. The film is the third and final entry in the Planet of the Apes series, which began with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and continued in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

To celebrate tomorrow’s release, we have an exclusive clip of Karin Konoval discussing her portrayal of the orangutan Maurice. She speaks about her thoughts on a possible spin-off film, how she fleshed out the role of Maurice, and more. It’s a wonderful look into the mind of an actress who brought such emotion, power, strength, and elegance to a role.

War for the Planet of the Apes was directed by Matt Reeves and stars Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Amiah Miller, Karin Konoval, Judy Greer, and Terry Notary. It came out July 14, 2017.

Synopsis:
Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
