THRis reporting that Timothy Olyphant is set to star in a remake of George A. Romero’s ‘The Crazies’ directed by Breck Eisner. The original was about “A biological weapon gone awry is only the start of problems in the little town of Evan’s City, Pennsylvania. Bouts of insanity in the populace are leading to murder and rioting, until the US Army turns up - and things really start going to hell.”

Timothy Olyphant is on the top of my favorite actors list, so to see him in new projects excites the Hell out of me, and I am hoping they do justice to George Romero’s original.
