The Simian Flu Spreads in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Viral Video


At the tail end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a dangerous "simian flu" was released into the atmosphere, and we saw just the beginnings of its spread across the world. The events that took place after are what we'll get in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes this summer, but what happens in-between are the subject of a new viral video. In it we see what happens when the flu becomes a worldwide pandemic that begins to wipe out the human population over the course of seven years. There's also the brief suggestion (via Google search) that some humans may be immune to the flu, and maybe those are the humans portrayed by Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, and others.

Directed by Matt Reeves, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens July 11th 2014.
