‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ has announced its at home release date and will soon take over every person’s television screen.

The action film will release on on digital retailers on 9 July, then on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on 27 August.

The 4K UHD edition reportedly features a full length alternative cut of the latest film in the action-adventure franchise that, through split-screen presentation, shows the final film parallel to showing a version of unfinished visual affects to show the actor’s performance behind the garb of CGI and VFX.

The alternative cut is titled, ‘Inside the Lens: The Raw Cut.’ It also features an audio commentary by director Wes Ball, editor Dan Zimmerman and VFX supervisor Erik Winquist.

What makes the whole thing more epic is that the alternative cut includes a bonus of 14 deleted and extended scenes, and a behind-the-scenes documentary called ‘Inside the Forbidden Zone: Making Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.’

A continuation of the science fiction franchise, ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ is set several generations after Caesar’s reign, when apes live on Earth and rule over the humans, with a clash between the two always brewing.

The film's cast includes Owen Teague, Freya Allan, Kevin Durand, Peter Macon and William H. Macy.

Owen Teague revealed that he was not bothered by his face not appearing in the film due to the motion-capture technology. He portrays the lead chimp, Noa.

“It's what I try to do regardless of who I'm playing, whether or not I'm a human. You want to disappear. I want to become whoever I am playing. I don't want people to see me onscreen; I want them to see the character,” he said.

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ will be available on 9 July then on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD 27 August.
