Breck Eisner's remake of the 1973 George A. Romero horror flick "The Crazies" now has a first official trailer, and you can check it out after the jump. My first impression: this doesn't look that bad at this stage.
The film focuses on what happens to people in a small American town hit by a deadly virus that enters the local water supply and turns many of the town's residents into freaks feeling the urge to kill and destroy.
Timothy Olyphant stars as the town's sheriff and Radha Mitchell plays his wife. Danielle Panabaker, Preston Bailey, Justin Welborn and Joe Anderson co-star in the film written by Ray Wright and Scott Kosar.
"The Crazies" won't open until Feb. 26, 2010, but this decently paced trailer gives you a good first look at the film. "Mad World" is an excellent song to go along with the footage, and it looks like we're in for a real freak show.
Time will tell if this one's worth it. We'll know in a couple of months. For now, enjoy this trailer and let me know below whether you're all crazy about this remake.
