Fangoria Entertainment has released a set report for The Crazies. Read below:

Blam! Brains and blood splatter the windshield of a big rig as the character who just took a shot to the head flies backward, slamming down on the concrete. Elsewhere in the truck bay/workshop, the smell of burning flesh hangs heavy in the air (actually, the chemical stench of a previously safely-on-fire stuntman). Gunfire echoes in the hangar-sized building; “Cut!” is called, playback watched, and then on to another setup on the remake of George A. Romero’s THE CRAZIES.

It’s a slightly nippy March night in Georgia, and day 12 of the nine-week shoot on the latest gruesome facelift of a ’70s horror movie, being directed on a significantly higher budget by Breck Eisner (whose credits include SAHARA and FEAR ITSELF’s THE SACRIFICE). Having an estimated $25 million to play with gives Eisner the opportunity to take Romero’s core concept and give it an action-packed approach the original could never achieve due to its low budget (shot in 1972, it cost around $220,000). Overture Films (the theatrical arm of Starz Media, which owns popular genre-centric DVD label Anchor Bay) releases the new CRAZIES February 26.
