Good news for 'Planet of the Apes' fans: the second film in the franchise is coming out this summer.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is the sequel to 2011's "Rise of the Planet Of the Apes", which is a franchise originally launched in 1968 with Charlton Heston's "Planet of the Apes".

The film follows the rise of ape Caesar, who is portrayed by Andy Serkis, the actor who is probably best known for his portrayal of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings triology.

The film also stars American actress Keri Russell.

"There was lots of running in fear, heavy breathing and panting in forests. A lot of that. There was a lot of that. Sweat and big heavy backpacks and getting rained on and screaming with fake apes and things like that."

James Franco, who starred in "Rise," is not a principal in the new movie. However, Franco does make a cameo.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" hits theaters on July 11.
