Panabaker is one of The Crazies

Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th, Mr Brooks, Sky High, Shark) and Joe Anderson (Across the Universe, The Ruins) have joined Timothy Olyphant (TV's "Damages," Hitman, Deadwood) and Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill, Pitch Black) in Overture Films' The Crazies, a reinvention loosely based upon the George Romero cult classic. The film is set to begin principal photography in Georgia on March 5th with additional shooting to occur in Iowa.

Panabaker will play Becca, a receptionist at the town's medical center where Mitchell is a doctor.

Anderson will play the role of the town's deputy, with Olyphant playing the sheriff.

Breck Eisner is set to direct the screenplay about the inhabitants of a small Kansas town beset by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. The film is written by Ray Wright, from an earlier draft by Scott Kosar.
