George Romero's original was an entertaining piece of C-level crap. This is the sort of movie that should be getting the remake treatment -- take a potent idea (super-secret toxic chemicals are accidentally dumped into a small town's reservoir and the residents go, well, crazy), drop the original's silliness, don't spend too much money on it, get an indie-flavored cast, and try to scare the shit out of the audience. The director is Breck Eisner, he of Sahara. Make of that what you will. In any event, I'm normally not big on horror movies, but I love the idea of The Crazies, and I'm hoping it's a lot of nasty fun.

Been looking forward to it since it was supposed to come out this year, lol. Sounds awesome. Waiting for a trailer...waiting.........waiting... :P
Oh and sue me, but I found "Sahara" entertaining as heck for the most part. In a "B" way. Very stylishly stupid, in my opinion.
I thought Sahara was decent, surprisingly funny in spots, and Cruz is lovely eye candy. I also thought Eisner showed some style. However,it felt, at every step, to be a knock-off Indy/Bond/Bourne. Still, I'll be curious to see what comes next from the son of Michael Eisner.
I don't expect much from this, but I will say....that's a damn good poster.
Joel -- the trailer is up at Apple. I haven't seen it yet -- will check it out tonight...
