Remakes Are for The Birds
April 26, 2005 - The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively revealed that Armageddon director (and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake producer) Michael Bay has been approached by Universal Pictures to remake Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 suspense classic, The Birds.
Bay would produce the remake through his Platinum Dunes company along with Peter Guber's Mandalay Pictures. Universal previously made the ill-advised remake of Hitch's Psycho.
"The new version would be based on the short story by Daphne Du Maurier, to which Universal owns the rights and which inspired Hitchcock's movie," THR claims.
Bay is also in talks to direct The Transformers but has not signed on yet.
(Warner Bros. doesn't want to be left out of the Hitchcock remaking and is developing a new version of Strangers on a Train.)
Any remake of any Hitchock film is gonna be ass. Remember the remake of psycho? Whatta heap of shit that was.
