The Birds, remake

Van Rooijen To Helm "The Birds" Remake

By Garth Franklin Thursday July 2nd 2015 06:10AM
Dutch filmmaker Diederik Van Rooijen has been hired to direct the remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller "The Birds" for Platinum Dunes, Mandalay Pictures and Universal Pictures.
The original film, based on the shorty story by Daphne du Maurier, followed a San Francisco socialite who moves to a small northern California town that suddenly comes under attack from various types of birds.
No word on what the new one's story will be. Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Peter Guber and David Zelon will produce.

This is going to be terrible. I was much more optimistic when Watts was involved.
 
You see what happened to Gus Van Sant.
 
A new TV series, ZOO, just started here in Australia last night and it seems to be a lot like the premise of The Birds. It was interesting, but I hope that the explanation that they may eventually come up with doesn't take away the mystery of how Hitchcock portrayed the event in the film.
