Production notes

Motion Capture combined with live action.

Andy Serkis' directorial debut. He was not the first person asked to direct this film. Warner Bros. courted both Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (in late 2013) and Ron Howard (in January 2014) before they offered Serkis the film in March 2014.
