I had the ability to chat with Breck Eisner, the director of this weekend’s The Crazies starring Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, and Glenn Morshower. Having not seen the film, I didn’t want to get into specifics I know nothing about. I am in love with the remake’s trailer and leading actor, and am extremely jazzed to see it and having spoken to the man he seems to be serious about the genre and his place in it.
