The Crazies: new trailer released

Just last week we had some fresh poster art from the upcoming remake of George A Romero's The Crazies, which is being directed by Sahara-helmer Breck Eisner. Now? There's a trailer too. Huzzah.

The film, which is starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell, follows the similar story to the first one of a small town whose inhabitants soon start going just a little bit bonkers. Olyphant, and a small band of people who aren't infected by whatever's turning everyone else psychotic, then find themselves quarantined in the time, and have to fight to make it to the end credits. Marvellous.

The trailer for the film gets across the setup perfectly well, with a nice, gentle build up, before a man walks across a baseball field with a gun and a nose bleed. It then gradually presents a small town in America going very, very wrong.

It's not a bad trailer, to be fair, although it's probably best that you judge that for yourself by taking a look at it below. The film itself? You'll have to wait until 26th February next year...
