When a disease in Africa is discovered, Colonel Sam Daniels of the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases or USAMRIID, is sent to investigate. When he reports back to his superior officer General Ford and tells him that they should put out an alert on this disease but the General that since the disease is so far away and not airborne that it can't possibly reach the U.S. However, a monkey from that part of Africa was captured and brought to the U.S. and a man who works at the customs house took it and tried to sell it but when the person he tried to sell it to rejected it he released it. Later the man who arrived in Boston collapses and dies, Col. Daniels wants to look into it but General Ford denies his request so he turns to his ex-wife, who works at the Center for Disease Control or CDC to look into and they discover it's the African disease but since it kills very quickly, Col. Daniels feels that it's been contained until another outbreak!

Due to the recent lawsuit by Dustin Hoffman for the unlicensed use of his likeness. The role of Dustin Hoffman will be played by Al Pacino. - @Saturday, October 6, 2018 8:22 AM

Yes quite horrifying. In which case mental states that can affect physical constituion, byway of so-called communicable diseases, or just by conveying ideas, should be understood more maybe. Aids for example, a sexually transmitted disease, first publicized by celebrities like Rock Hudson in the 80s, but probably in the populace by the swinging 60s and glitzy 70s. That unverified theories propose is a consequence of a virus that originally evolved inside primate populations (quite possibly bonobo chimpanzees, due to excessive sexual behavior also). That then jumped species into humans, with the help of sexual deviants (who are prevalent in certain social bodies, like mercenary armies and foreign legions - more so in informal or clandestine militias Who are driven by psycho-social forces (in exile or under duress) to find economic and sociopolitical opportunities elsewhere (driven away by their own communities, or dominant groups of the area). To join these profit oriented organizations. So that theories propose, that with the concentration of such personality types in such standing bodies, sent out by military or para-military campaigns into far flung areas (like Belgian Congo, or anywhere else in the World really). Whether as combatants or non-combatants (motif remains securing resources and opportunity for larger organizations, while addressing own personal and private needs. Which may have included one or more incidences of human to monkey sex - even as a bet among rowdy recruits, this is easily imaginable. All the while individuals and whole groups being used and using one another, always for purposes of personal advantage, when even group benefit is merely a vehicle to advance personal well being. As is encouraged by such thesis as the "Wealth of Nations". So that it is often times, these in-between spaces (for example the gap between public life and private life) that is where manipulations and machinations can occur. In the same way that it is in these cracks and crevices that bacteria and viruses lodge themselves. Reflected in human migratory corridors and transit networks, whether commercial or military industrial. Latter being larger and more accessible (higher volume), later being smaller scale. But both pertaining to how slowly or quickly people and elements (whether ideas of bacteria) mix and mingle. Which is how the original problem (according to this theory) first arose to begin with. A sub-species of chimpanzee, famous for sexual behavior when encountering outside (potential rival) troupes, that other types of monkeys address byway of violence. As means to defuse tension and resolve implicit problems (such as resource entitlement). Resulting in some naturally occurring sexually-transmitted bug, pest or irritant in chimpanzees (not fatal) to balance out or prevent too much intermingling of genes (that has beneficial properties - genetic exchanges that spurs progress) While similar patterns, found in human populations (far more complex, with far more variables) also taking place simultaneously. Intersecting, some say in a professional soldier of Asian descent (Gurkhas or Sikhs for example have long martial histories) in the continent of Africa (maybe victim of a prank or trick), meeting up with a monkey or chimpanzee in a jungle brothel somewhere! Sounds like a sick joke!?! Or a spiteful and malicious rumor, meant to damage reputation, mental and emotional constitution etc.Cannot be the basis for life and social building? Or is it for those very reasons, that such a theory could prove to be true? Awash with all the famous qualities and preoccupations that humans are famous for? - @Monday, August 27, 2018 6:26 AM

Huh... never saw this trailer before now. Some interesting differences from the movie I've known for years. As for the viability of this "what if" scenario, I must say it gives plenty of food for thought. Nature is a complex and often mysterious thing, and "super bugs" have been known to appear from time to time, cutting a deadly swath through the world's population. So, might something like this exist somewhere? Perhaps. Now, for the really scary bit: would some power-hungry fool (military or not) want to turn it into a weapon, regardless of the cost? I've no doubt. One final bit that might just keep somebody up at night: if the former is real, and the latter is aware of said former... it might ALREADY be weaponized, and we're clueless. - @Saturday, December 26, 2015 2:53 PM
