I’d not even heard of The Crazies until about 10 minutes ago but I’m already sold. I suppose the bad guys are basically “zombies,” but the story presents a fresh take on the brainless masses trope. This looks promising. Check it out.

I’m pretty stoked about this movie. It’s a combination of things. I just get excited for anything that George Romero attaches his name to. Whether it be vampires, zombies, or disease, I also find it interesting how apocalyptic environmental/biological catastrophe movies can be either pretty good (Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later) and just god awful (28 Weeks Later).

The term remake always scares me, but I try to go into the new version with a clean slate in mind.

I also just really dig Timothy Olyphant. Man love?
