a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily
intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a
rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging
creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered
there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha
predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path,
(b) (6) teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote,
fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a
global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his
friend.
• Background: OCPA-LA reviewed two versions of the script and met with
the director and Warner Bros.’ VP for Public Affairs and declined to
support the production. The decision to decline support was based on the
failure to incorporate script notes provided by OCPA-LA into the revised
draft of the script. The notes provided dealt with creating a more accurate
depiction of the U.S. Army and the Army National Guard in the production.
In the scripts provided to OCPA-LA, nearly all Army and Army National
Guard personnel and equipment were killed or destroyed by the
genetically altered animals with no chance of success in their missions.
The overall chain of command structure was inaccurate, and the Army
characters were based on inaccurate stereotypes of the Army.
