David Warner is on the cast list to play a liberal member of the ape senate and the father of Helena Bonham Carter's character in Tim Burton's upcoming Planet of the Apes movie, based on a report from Variety columnist Army Archerd.

Warner's character will sympathize with the plight of humans, who will be chiefly played by Mark Wahlberg and Estella Warren. And yes, she's hot.

Tim Roth and Michael Clarke Duncan will play Warner's ape senate opposition, who consider that the human beings are animals. And mighty high praises to Rick Baker, the make-up artist who transforms actors into apes. Warner has to report in at 3 in the morning to have the make-up applied, but despite the ridiculously early morning hours, the fantastic work has been marvelously praised by the cast.
