So, About That Plague…

The big release this weekend is the sequel to the excellent ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’, ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’, or ‘DOTPOTA’.  We’re all very excited around here to see it.  But have you wondered what happened in between the first film and this sequel?  Well now you can find out! 

The first video, 'Quarantine', deals with a father and daughter as they try and navigate the first year of the outbreak and an infected family member. 

Amidst a widespread viral outbreak known as the 'Simian Flu,' a mother is quarantined after testing positive for the virus, leaving her husband and daughter to fend for themselves. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes presents this moving short film directed by Isaiah Seret in a series inspired by the ten years between The Rise and The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes http://www.dawnofapes.com/.

The next video, "All Fall Down', shifts forward 5 years and focuses on a young girl as she tries to survive a world growing darker and more savage by the day. 

Five years after the Simian Flu all but wiped out humanity, an orphaned teenage girl survives by bartering things she has stolen from dead people's homes.

The final video, "Story Of The Gun' follows a gun as it moves from owner to owner in a world now lost.  It’s supposed to run concurrent with DOTPOTA and illustrate how bad things have become. 

The journey of a shotgun through the hands of several ill-fated owners as the 'Simian Flu' ravages the world around them.
