THE CRAZIES Trailer Hits

The trailer for Overture’s remake of George Romero’s ‘The Crazies’ has been released.  You can check it out in all its HD glory over at Apple, or you can check out the embedded version right here.

Let’s get to that, shall we:

All in all, this looks to be a pretty nice, small-town, horror movie.  Romero’s original is a forgotten classic, probably the best work the director did outside of the “…of the Dead” series.  You have to wonder how smart the reactive use of Gary Jules’ take on “Mad World” is.  Seriously, Donnie Darko was eight years ago.  Surely, we can find a different, creepy and melodic song to use over images of horror.

But that really has nothing to do with the film itself.  Speaking of which, the film’s official website has gone live, as well.

‘The Crazies’ is set for release on February 26th, 2010.  Gary Jules’ “Mad World” will stop being used around 2352.
