A trailer for a remake of George A. Romero's 1973 cult classic has appeared online.
The story is about the residents of a small, quiet, nothing ever exciting happens town in the American Midwest, who one day turn into homicidal maniacs, after the town's water supply is contaminated. It's up to the town's sheriff (Timothy Olyphant), his wife (Radha Mitchell), and the sheriff's shotgun totin' sidekick to figure out what the hell is going on and save the day.
I really like the look of this remake. In recent years, I've become a lot more tolerant of the remake phenomenon. I think I learnt my lesson after signing an online petition to protest against Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the Dead, and then feeling incredibly stoopid when I ended up liking it. Another positive factor is that Radha Mitchell stars in it - an actress I am hopelessly in love with. Not only is she cute as a button, but she's got a great track record in these kind of B-movies. Yeah, this is one remake I actually feeling pretty good about. It also helps that I'm not the biggest fan of the original. Never thought it was Romero's finest hour.
