Conan the Barbarian Red Band and Rise of the Planet of the Apes International Trailers

Get the popcorn ready, film lovers, because today on BoomTron, we have two new international trailers just for you. The films here featured are the new Conan the Barbarian (and we’ve actually got the Red Band trailer, so it is sure to be spicy) and the upcoming sequel, Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Conan conquers theaters on August 19. It’ll be available in Real 3D. We discovered the official website if you’d like to take a gander. There’s a but-kickin’ poster that made its debut and there are also collectible character posters to promote the flick.

Of course The Planet of the Apes is not a new franchise to Hollywood. The 1968 film, starring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Linda Harrison is my favorite when it comes to classic science fiction. The sequels were:

*Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) –Here the astronaut from Earth past continues to delve into a future where apes rule man.
*Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) –Here our favorite ape couple escape nuclear destruction by traveling to the past, a time when Earth is still ruled by man, to become celebrities.
*Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) –The ape couple have been killed, but their son, Caesar can talk and eventually leads the ape uprising against mankind who enslaves them.
*Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) –10 years later, Caesar tries to force peace between apes and man.
*And in 2001 Tim Burton re-imagined Planet of the Apes

Now, in Rise of the Planet of the Apes due August 5th, James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, and Andy Serkis star in a film that will see an ape called Caesar get genetically altered and initiate a war. Though the plot sounds similar to Conquest, I hear this, too, is meant as a re-imagination, like the Tim Burton film.
