The Crazies

On behalf of Overture Films, Screenhead presents a new production still featuring Radha Mitchell from The Crazies, starring Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker and Joe Anderson.  Quite a bit has been posted here about The Crazies, which opens February 26, 2010. 

The story is about a small town where everything is safe and happy…until suddenly it isn’t. In a terrifying tale of the “American Dream” gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in The Crazies, a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39) and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

‘The Crazies’ Trailer

Even with the spoilers it’s a nice trailer. I love the irony of the song at the end of the trailer.   The movie is without big name stars, but the look and feel of the movie is awesome.  The Crazies opens next year in February.

Crazies_teaser FINAL

Overture Films just sent me their teaser poster for The Crazies, a horror film opening February 26, 2010. The Crazies is a reinvention loosely based upon the George Romero classic about the inhabitants of a small Iowa town beset by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.  Directed by Breck Eisner, The Crazies stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker and Joe Anderson.  

The poster is pretty cool in that it doesn’t terrify me. I like the rural look of the road sign with “Help US” written in blood over “… friendless place on Earth.”
