Breck Eisner (Sahara) is directing, he seems to be involved with a bunch of remakes, he’s also lined up to direct the remakes of Flash Gorden and Creature From The Black Lagoon. Check out the trailer and synopsis below

In a terrifying tale of the American Dream gone wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown. A reinvention of the George A. Romero classic, THE CRAZIES is directed by Breck Eisner (SAHARA) and is based on a screenplay by Ray Wright (PULSE, CASE 39) and Scott Kosar (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE).

David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff in a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his house after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh…with insanity.

Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a struggle for survival as they try to get out of town alive.

The Crazies will be released in cinemas on 26th February, 2010
