_War_ has begun. 

Matt Reeves announced the beginning of filming on _War for the Planet of the Apes_, the sequel to _Dawn of the Planet of the Apes_, by releasing the first photo from the set. 

“#It has begun,” Reeves wrote on Twitter next to a photo of a scene of a lonely beach. Though it’s difficult to make out, an actor wearing a motion-capture suit to portray one of the apes is seen gesturing to someone on horseback.

Andy Serkis returns to portray the evolved ape Caesar in _War_, the third installment of these prequel films. Steve Zahn (Pixar’s _The Good Dinosaur_), relative newcomer Amiah Miller, and Woody Harrelson were recently revealed for roles in the film. Plot details are being kept secret, though _Dawn_ finished with Caesar facing a new horizon after his people clashed with the surviving human population. 

_War for the Planet of the Apes_ will hit theaters on July 14, 2017\.
