Looks pretty good, I like the choice of music in the trailer too.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I agree, looks cool. It's been a while since I last watched Romero's version, but I remember thinking it was kinda boring and slow. I'll likely watch it again before seeing this, but I def like the look of this new one and the casting. I spoke with one of the lead Crazies at a convention a couple months ago and he showed me some pics of his on-set makeup. Pretty gruesome stuff.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I'm definitely intersted in seeing this.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

besides ripping off donnie darko by using gary jules' version of "mad world" i think it looks pretty good.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

nice trailer

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Was Mad World recorded for DD?

I like trailers like that with a music montage of action and a melancholy song. Reminds me of the recent Last House trailer with Taken By Trees's Sweet Child O' Mine.

I look forward to this.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Looks like how The Happening should have been.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

The trailer looked good, I'll probably see it in the theater.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Gary Jules version was. Tears for Fears version wasn't.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara)
written by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39)
and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

Sounds like it has alot of potential. :sarcasm:

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Most don't even know it's a Tears for Fears song. Damn you Gary Jules!

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I liked Sahara and the first The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. :shrug:

This looks about as good as a movie of its caliber deserves to look.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Looks very good. But what a horrible choice of song for that movie.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

And here's the trailer from trailer addict - I think it looks good:

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

^ why would they put such an "iconic" song in the trailer, as soon as you hear it you automatically think of another movie. A better movie.

Well, at least they didn't use Lux Aeterna..

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

When I hear that song, I think of Gears of War from that AD they had a while back. I still think that song fits well with the trailer.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

i thought the same thing about Romeros'. I have the R2 DVD and really didn't like it too much. i do like the concept and will more than give this a chance.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

According to imdb his upcoming films include Creature From the Black Lagoon and Flash Gordon. It looks likes he's sticking with remakes.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I'm a fan of Rahda Mitchell and Timothy Olyphant, so I'll see it. Can't say I'm too pleased with them seemingly turning this into another zombie flick though.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I saw the original film a few months ago and did not like it. But I am really looking forward to the remake after seeing the trailer.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Guess I'm in the minority in the thread, I really like Romero's original. Maybe because of the spot it takes in his career as a transitional piece, but I can really see the bridging of Night and Dawn in it. It has some interesting plot elements and the story is twisted. I think a remake can be good though. Looks like they took the premise and just ran with it.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

So do I.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Nice trailer.
I will be keeping and eye out for this one.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Looks like a very entertaining movie, I'll definitely check this out.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

:up:

And I think 28 Days Later was closer to The Crazies than to the Dead movies.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

It's not a zombie flick...at all. These crazy people talk are still alive. They're not zombies.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Not a true zombie flick ... it seems to fall into the "new-age living zombie" genre. There seems to be a shift taking zombies from the traditional "living dead" to a "dead living" monster ... rather than dying and becoming a re-animated corpse, a person is infected while alive and "changes." Examples would include 28 Days Later, Quarantine, The Signal, The Happening (to some extent) and Stephen King's novel "Cell."

Nonetheless, it looks pretty damn good ... somebody should cast Timothy Olyphant as a sheriff in a TV series.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

I know, someone call David Milch.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Whoa. Where did this movie came from? Looks really good. I never saw Romero's movie, but the trailer on Youtube makes it looks cool (well, in Romero's way ... not for everyone).

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

The thing I like about Romero's version is that it concerns itself with the chaotic bureaucracy of dealing with such an outbreak. This looks like it won't be too much more than a typical run-from-the-bad-guy, jump-scare, slasher film.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Well, that is why I said seemingly. From the trailer, it makes it look like the crazy in the jail cell dies and comes back as a zombified monster. It's good to know that's not the case.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Looks pretty cool.

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Both of these songs (Lux Aeterna and Mad World) need to be banned from all trailers in the future. Lux Aeterna is an amazing piece of music that has been cheapened by its overusage, and Mad World is, dare I say, really bad. I'm not a Tears fan or anything, so it's not that I don't like that it's a cover song. I just don't like Gary's version. I never have.

Also, the theme from Saw is popping up in a lot of random trailers, too. It just doesn't work for those films, though.

That said, Clint Mansell and Charlie Clouser are making a killing off of the licensing, I'm sure, so good for them. Those guys need to do a project together.


edit: have to add... that new trailer really makes me want to see a red-band trailer. :)

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

This movie looks great

Re: The Crazies Trailer
 

Saw the film today and it's a pretty good movie. Some genuinely tense moments, and the cast is great. Loved Timothy Olyphant's performance; it's basically Deadwood's Sheriff Bullock battling the infected (he plays the sheriff in this too).

My one complaint is the same in all infected/zombie movies...a character walks into a room and doesn't notice the infected/zombie behind them/standing in the corner/ etc., and they have to fight them off. And then they walk into another room and the same thing happens. It gets a little repetitive.

But all in all, a fun flick that doesn't pull its punches on the violence either. I'd give it a solid B.
