Occasional television airings and novelizations were typically the only options.
In fact, for a time, movie novelizations were a big thing.
That said, there are some gems to be found in this sub-genre.
Today its only blockbusters likeSuicide SquadandKong: Skull Islandthat tend to receive novelizations.
It makes a nice companion to theWarnovelization.
The first difference comes shortly after The Colonels raid on Caesars camp.
The book fleshes Winter out some more.
Winter leaves to fetch more food, leading to his fateful encounter with Caesar in the tent.
Theres also a tiny addition to the scene where soldiers give a shot to ambush Caesar.
Caesars imprisonment is where the Preacher subplot comes to the fore.
From that point on, he becomes cold and distant like the rest of the Alpha-Omega squad.
Sadly absent from the movie is a big speech The Colonel gives to his men.
Its easy to see Woody Harrelson making a meal of this scene.
Just another dumb animal, left to roam a godforsaken world.
Caesar realizes this man was Malcolm Jason Clarkes kindly human fromDawn and asks what happened.
The Colonel bluntly reveals he shot him, feeling that talk of peace was dangerous.
Its worth notingRevelationsstrongly hinted at this bleak outcome for the character.
The last addition is a brief but significant nod to the original series.
If youre a fan of the series, bothWarandRevelationsmake for an entertaining two-part story.
