News > Radha Mitchell Joins 'The Crazies'

Radha Mitchell will star with Timothy Olyphant in the remake of The Crazies.  According to ShockTillYouDrop a source close to the casting process said that she is "officially on board."

We presume she'll be playing the wife of Olyphant's sheriff character who is faced with a biological weapon that has infected the town's water supply thus making the residents violently loopy. The Australian actress has delicately balanced her career with a steady diet of genre material. In 2000, she faced nocturnal beasts in Pitch Black and followed that with Visitors, Silent Hill and Greg McLean's Rogue.

The Crazies, based on the George Romero film of the same name, is directed by Breck Eisner and is due in theaters September 25th.
