Paramount Pictures is developing The Crazies, a remake of George Romero's 1972 SF horror-thriller film, with Michael Aguilar and Dean Georgaris to produce at their Penn Station company, Variety reported. The film will update the storyline of the original, in which inhabitants of a small Pennsylvania town are beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a secret biological weapon into the water supply, the trade paper reported.

Romero, who directed and co-wrote the original movie with Paul McCollough, is executive producing.
