STYD carries word that Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill) will star alongside Timothy Olyphant (Hitman) in The Crazies for Overture Films.

The film will be a reinvention loosely based on the classic George Romero movie, dealing with the inhabitants of a small Pennsylvania town beset by death and insanity after a secret biological weapon makes its way into their water supply.

It is being directed by Breck Eisner and is set for release on September 25.
