[@Dynamo Frokane] It's its own timeline, not directly related to the originals, though. Like Rise might as well be a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. DMC3 doesn't introduce an entirely timeline/series/universe. Rise [i]does[/i]. It's the starting point of its own universe. The people that made the movie have said this back when Rise was in production. Rise already plays fast and loose and contradictory with how the apes rose in the original series. If anything it could be argued, such as now, that it contains elements of both. But it's absolutely a reboot.
