This might be a first! PETA is praising a movie about animals!
PETA is praising director Rupert Wyatt for the use of CGI graphics for his newest film, ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.’
Wyatt explained his choice of using CGI against real apes at a recent comic-con panel, saying “We wanted to tell our story without using live apes for any number of reasons. It would be a cruel irony to tell the story of the exploited and repressed and use live apes to do so.”
PETA’s VP Lisa Lange has said in a statement, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes reminds viewers that animals are feeling beings who deserve compassion, and its stunning use of CGI shows that there’s no need to subject apes to the stress of filmmaking. Rupert Wyatt’s methods back up PETA’s message that apes should be protected and respected.”
Isn’t it refreshing to see a story where PETA is actually making nice?
Plus props to Wyatt, because those apes look mega real!
