The Matt Reeves-directed reboot sequel Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes doesn’t hit theaters until July 11, but Fox is already impressed enough that it knows it wants Reeves around for more man-versus-ape warfare. Deadline reports that the director has signed on to a third Apes film, this time sharing co-writing duties with Dawn screenwriter Mark Bomback.

And of course, this means another Ape title will be necessary. Long Ape’s Journey Into Darkness Of The Planet Of The Apes?
