Wow, That Viral is Crazy! Scott Caldwell, October 2, 2009October 2, 2009 Actually, it’s pretty bland…only the title is “The Crazies”. But, it’s the start of hopefully a lot more to come. Just like the movie, we start out in a seemingly normal small town. But something goes wrong. Take a look at this trailer posted on Firstshowing: HD is available via Apple-Movie Trailers Welcome to Ogden Marsh, “The Friendliest Place on Earth”. So could this viral follow the premise of the film? Get us a sweet little site from Ogden Marsh, IA. Make us think of a nice town where everyone plays baseball and talks to each other. Where the farmers rise early and the children can be heard running in the park. But then, out of nowhere, maybe something will happen to this site. Just like those from the clip. Maybe the tractor on the page will turn on us. Maybe instead of stealing third, the little kid will steal your neck. We will definitely keep an eye on this site. It has the potential for something big. What better way to get viral than to have a virus? The remake of George Romero’s 1973 “The Crazies” is set for release on February 26th, 2010.
