Timothy Olyphant (pictured inside), who can be seen in Sony's A PERFECT GETAWAY next year, has signed on to star in The Crazies, Overture's remake of the George Romero horror movie being directed by Breck Eisner. The story revolves around the inhabitants of a small Kansas town who are beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a secret biological weapon into the water supply. Olyphant is playing the town's sheriff. Scott Kosar and Ray Wright wrote the screenplay. Shooting begins soon as Overture hopes to get the film in theaters by September 25, 2009.

Alright. Sounds good. I started the original, but I never finished. I'll definitely finish it, then see the remake!
