In 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', 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.

"...a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier."

Exclusive BTS shot of one human affected by the virus.

To me it looks like the humans are in the woods to escape the disease that has ravaged the world and the apes have intercepted them because the woods are their home

MB007 - 5/10/2013, 9:43 AM

ParisSun - 5/10/2013, 10:32 AM

I wonder if Andy Serkis feels typecast in these types of roles.
