I’m rather encouraged by how cool THE CRAZIES is looking. While it certainly seems like it strays from Romero’s film, it also looks like it captures a similar paranoia and intensity. (If you want to know Breck Eisner’s thoughts on the original, check out my interview with him HERE.) The trailers have been terrific so far, and here are two new T.V. commercials that don’t break the trend. Creepy shite!

THE CRAZIES commences as a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa
into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant) tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife (Mitchell), and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.
