'The Crazies' One-sheet and plot overview


New from Overture films is 'The Crazies', a remake of an old Romero film but before I screw up the rundown let me give it to you straight from the horse's mouth;

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 and produced by Rob Cowan, THE CRAZIES stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker and Joe Anderson and will hit theaters on February 26th, 2010.


There's something about the movie poster that's been lost over the years. You know how there seems to be like three stock poses that every movie uses, for instance the heads of the major characters lined up on one side with a tagline at the top. That's EXACTLY the reason I'm digging this one, it's different, and it tells you what you need to know without even really saying anything. Also, it's got that creepy Pleasantville meets Elm St. vibe to it, not to mention that badass cast starting with Tim Olyphant who, F the detractors, is always awesome! Yes, 'Hitman' included.
