As we creep ever closer to its release date of Feb. 26th little bits of information will begin to surface for the remake of THE CRAZIES.
Having said that tonight I have for you this brand new still:
That's a picture of Radha Mitchell and things don't seem to be going to well for her.
Here's a breakdown of the plot line for you:
Imagine living in
a small town where everything is safe and happy…until suddenly it
isn’t. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically
insane. 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).
David Dutten
(Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of
Ogden
Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But
one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun,
ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house…after locking his
wife and young son in a closet inside. Within days, the town has transformed
into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives
have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with
guns and knives. Sheriff Dutten tries to make sense of what’s happening
as the horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the
citizens of
Ogden
Marsh…with insanity.
Now complete
anarchy reigns as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn
sadistically violent. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the government
uses deadly force to close off all access and won’t let anyone in or out
– even those uninfected. The few still sane find themselves trapped:
Sheriff Dutten; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle
Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson),
Dutten’s deputy and right-hand man. Forced to band together, an ordinary
night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get
out of town alive.
This one just looks damn good to me. I'm looking forward to it.
