According to The Hollywood Reporter, Timothy Olyphant (pictured) will star in Overture Films’ THE CRAZIES. He’ll play the sheriff in the remake of George A. Romero’s 1973 chiller.
To be directed by Breck (SAHARA) Eisner from a script by Scott (THE MACHINIST) Kosar and Ray (PULSE) Wright, the new CRAZIES is set in a small town in Kansas, where the residents fall victim to madness and violence after a plane crash releases a biological weapon into the water supply. Romero is executive-producing the redux, with Michael Aguilar and Dean Georgaris producing; Overture currently has the theatrical release slated for September 25 of next year. Olyphant, perhaps best-known as another lawman on HBO’s DEADWOOD, also appeared in SCREAM 2 and DREAMCATCHER.
