We learned this past weekend that Rob Hall's Almost Human FX will be tackling Overture Films' The Crazies, their remake of the classic George A. Romero film being helmed by Breck Eisner. Almost Human is responsible for the FX in QUARANTINE, VACANCY, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and the ongoing TERMINATOR series, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. "As a fan of the original we are super excited to be working on this re-imagining of the cult film," Hall tells B-D when we called to confirm the news. "The script is excellent. One of the best I've read in recent memory and there's more than plenty to keep us busy. It definitely delivers." Starring Timothy Olyphant, the film is slated for release on September 25th. Click here for all of Almost Human's credits. Rob Hal's directorial effort LAID TO REST is looking for a release from Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Romero's original was a template for what would become Dawn of the Dead a few years later in terms of style and editing. This will most likely not resemble that movie at all. Good or bad? We'll see.

Just a sidenote before i hook this hose up to my exhaust pipe...... Almost Human do have some sweet FX as of late, and may be interesting to see.

I have said this before, does nobody have any of their own ideas for horror movies anymore. How about a remake of Puppet Master!!! HA-HA!! This is starting to get old.

This is the type of remake I look forward to. The original has alot that can be improved upon and not everyone has seen it.
