Variety reports that Steve Zahn has signed on for the upcoming War For The Planet Of The Apes, and unlike Gabriel Chavarria (Freedom Writers)—who also recently joined the cast—Zahn will putting on a pair of ping-pong-ball-motion-capture pajamas to play one of the apes. The plot is being kept under wraps, but presumably he’ll be one of Caesar’s simian soldiers. More certain is the assumption he’ll be playing a Steve-Zahn type of sidekick ape, who is easily overwhelmed but provides much-needed levity in sticky situations. Meanwhile, Woody Harrelson will be on the other side of the battle map; he’s being billed as an antagonist only known as “The Colonel,” a rank that only adds intrigue to the trajectory of the current KFC conspiracy.
