As promissed, I’ve updated the gallery with screencaptures from The Crazies DVD special features. There are 4 featurettes, an audio commentary with director Breck Eisner, and a lot more included in both the Blu-Ray and DVD releases, so you should get your copy asap if you haven’t done so yet =)

My personal favorite is the behind the scenes featurette because it includes fragments of interviews with the main cast and crew. Danielle Panabaker appears in the following features:

Behind the Scenes with Director Breck Eisner
Paranormal Pandemics
Behind the Scenes Photogallery (Just one pic =/)
Easter Egg – Private Screening (Released online back in February)

Expect video clips from the film next month!

I have now added screencaptures of Danielle’s performance as Becca Darling in The Crazies! In the film she plays Judy’s (Radha Mitchell) assistant at the medical clinic in a small town in Iowa, one of the four still sane residents that try to survive an apocaliptic situation when a virus that causes insanity followed by death is spread.

Even though Danielle’s appearance is rather small, she was great in her role. The movie itself is one of the best horror films I’ve seen in years. It isn’t perfect but it’s much better than most recent remakes, including Friday the 13th.

To access the screencaps click on any of the following thumbnails, but please proceed with caution, all of Danielle’s screentime is obviously spoiled. If you haven’t seen the film you should get the DVD!

Expect special features and clips next month!

I know it’s probably too late but I FINALLY got the chance to see The Crazies at my local theater last night (yeah it sure took me nearly four months) so I’ve updated the film’s section with the first D-Panabaker.Org original review.

From the beginning of the movie you can tell there’s something wrong in the town, one of the very first scenes features Danielle Panabaker, which is great. But about five minutes later we get the first dark incident, it unleashes a series of horrific (and sometimes very exciting) situations that don’t stop until the end. There’s a creepy claustrophobic vibe during the entire film, and most of the time you find yourself seating at the edge of your seat just to end up getting a jump scare. That’s really how the whole film works, which is great because it keeps you interested, but it gets so common that you just know it’s going to happen again…

Here’s part of a brand new interview coming from Killer Film. Danielle talks about The Crazies, The Ward, Weakness, Sky High, Mr. Brooks and Spider-Man rumors:

Danielle Panabaker is one of the busiest young actresses in Hollywood, and my interview covers the past, present and future for the starlet. The name might not be recognizable, but her resume sure speaks for itself.

Jason Bene: John Carpenter has decided to put down his XBOX long enough to direct his first film in almost ten years with The Ward. Can you talk about working with a true ‘Master of Horror’?

Danielle Panabaker: It was just such a pleasure and a delight. I was certainly intimidated and nervous going into it because he is the ‘Master of Horror’ and it couldn’t have been a better experience. He was so lovely. To work with someone who has spent so much time on film sets and wh has such a mastery of his craft is truly a great experience. I have so much respect for him. I feel very lucky and grateful that I got the opportunity to work with him.

Jason Bene: Can you tell us about your character in The Ward?

Danielle Panabaker: The Ward takes place in the 60’s and it’s about five young women in an insane asylum who start disappearing one by one. I knew one of the new patients and I go to the hospital and start asking questions. It’s about what happens to her and the other young women. She starts to explore a little deeper and asks a few questions.

Jason Bene: Friday the 13th was a huge hit for you, were you concerned about being in another horror remake so soon with The Crazies?

Danielle Pananbaker: I wasn’t. The scripts are from similar genres, but the scripts themselves are very different. With Friday the 13th you are working with such an iconic character and there is a very specific formula in terms of the Friday the 13th movies. Those are for a really specific audience and I think they [Platinum Dunes] did a great job of reaching that. With The Crazies, I feel like there are so many additional layers in terms of the social ramifications of what we are dealing with. The movie just has a broader appeal to a wider demographic of people. So, it was really for me about getting a great opportunity to work with some really talented people.

Jason Bene: What can we expect from you in the near future?

Danielle Panabaker: I did a small independent film called Weakness that I shot in New York last summer that I still haven’t seen yet, but I hear great things about. Hopefully that will be released sometime in the future.

Jason Bene: Sony pictures is talking about rebooting the Spider-Man franchise. You seem like you’d be a good choice to play Mary Jane Watson. Have you thought about trying out for that role?

Danielle Panabaker: I’m very flattered, thank you so much! Absolutely, I think the Spider-Man franchise is such a world reaching franchise and a role I would absolutely audition for.

To read the whole interview go here.

I’ve also updated the gallery with a very spoilerish The Crazies still, proceed with caution if you haven’t seen the movie yet!
