As if LA’s famous Venice Beach scene wasn’t wild enough – it now has apes patrolling the sand… on horseback, no less!!!
Yes, the marketing team behind “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” came up with a very cute way to promote the movie on Monday… by putting a bunch of apes on saddles and giving them a ride around the beach .
No, they’re not real apes – that’s all PETA can say – but the actors in the costumes were very convincing at a glance … it looked like it was a scene taken straight from the plot of the movie in which the apes take over. Have been.
Luckily, the actors didn’t put the horses into full gallop, opting for a slow stroll around the beach… paired with intense, menacing stares to make their presence felt.
Despite the lack of action, Ape Invasion has certainly created a buzz about the upcoming film, which is set to hit US theaters on May 10.
Fans online criticized this marketing stunt, calling it pure genius and admitting that it got them hooked and ready to see the film.

The only issue with this stunt is that Venice Beach is already filled with outrageous scenes and characters – so, having primates on patrol might seem like just another Monday.
