Don't think so... you can't have a dawn if the the sun never rises first...

I still can't believe how good Andy Serkis was in Rise of the Apes. Hard to believe it was a real human playing Caesar (granted they CGIed him, but it was still him doing all the movements and acting).

even more amazing when you consider that a lot of people who know his movies would never recognize the guy IRL.

set 15 years after 'Rise' and to star Zero Dark Thirty star Jason Clarke,James Franco star of the first film is not expected to return

Also...

Though the plot of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is being kept under wraps, one focus of the story “is on the group of human scientists who are struggling to survive alone in San Francisco.”  Another part of the pic will center on the ape Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) and his struggle to maintain dominance over his kingdom.

Gary Oldman Joins Cast

According to the kids at ComingSoon.net, one of our greatest living actors has joined the cast of Matt Reeves's sequel to RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Oldman will reportedly play "the leader of a human colony". The film, which takes place fifteen years after RISE, will shift back and forth between Caesar's establishment of ape rule and the organization of a human resistance (as presaged at the end of RISE, a virus has wiped out most of humankind). That's about all we know story-wise.

You know, I liked the original a lot more than I thought I would, in fact I enjoyed it a lot.  That said I thought the worst parts of the movie were any of the scenes or plot points where they tried to connect it to Planet of the Apes.  I predict this will end in disaster.

new plot synopsis:

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
