According to The Hollywood Reporter, Radha Mitchell (pictured) has joined the cast of THE CRAZIES, Overture Films’ remake of the 1973 George A. Romero chiller. She’ll play the wife of the sheriff played by Timothy (DREAMCATCHER) Olyphant.
Breck Eisner is directing the update of Romero’s film about a town afflicted by a military biotoxin that has accidentally released into their drinking water. Romero serves as an executive producer on the new movie, which was initially scripted by Scott (THE MACHINIST) Kosar with rewrites by Ray (CASE 39) Wright, with a release date of September 25 already set. This is the latest high-profile genre role for Mitchell, who previously had the female leads in PITCH BLACK, SILENT HILL and ROGUE.
