More so than pretty much any movie this summer, you’re going to walk out ofMatt Reeves’Dawn of the Planet of the Apesand think, “How the HECK did they do that?” The combination of technical expertise mixed with dramatic artistry is absolutely magnificent and, somehow, a huge step up from the already-impressiveRise of the Planet of the Apes. Mix those elements with a complex, emotional story of acceptance, family and prejudice, add in a ton of huge action, and you’ve got one of the best films of the summer.
As for that question of “How,” authorMatt Hurwitzhas your answers in the new bookRise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films. Out July 8, it’s filled with concept art and behind the scenes images from both films and, below, we’ve got some exclusive early glimpses. Check out theRiseandDawn of the Planet of the Apesconcept art below.

The images provided to us by Titan Books are a pretty solid representation of the beautiful imagery evoked by the concept art, and the crazy on-set performance capture work. Seeing Andy Serkis, Terry Notary and others on set in those costumes will always make me shake my head in amazement.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apesopens July 11. It stars Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smith-McPhee, Enrique Murciano and Kirk Acevedo.
