Trivia

 * Gary Oldman said in an interview: Oldman plays "the designated leader" of a community of humans "who were lucky enough to survive the flu, the disease and ensuing social uprising," following the apocalyptic credits sequence of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." Oldman's character was a police officer before the fall of civilization, and has subsequently been elected to lead over his group of survivors. The human community, desperate to find power, ventures off to a nearby power station, to see if it's still operational. There, the humans "discover that there's a whole community of apes living there. We believed that they were all completely fire-bottomed and wiped out." They're not wiped out yet, but that might change when Oldman finds out about the apes. "There's only one answer for him: Wipe them out," he teased.
