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”.

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.
