Remake of "The Birds"

The Birds Take Flight Again
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
April 26, 2005


Universal is planning on remaking Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 horror classic The Birds with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes in talks to produce with Peter Guber through his Mandalay Pictures banner.

The Hollywood Reporter says 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. Tippi Hedren starred in the original thriller about increasingly vicious birds that terrorize a small town.

Universal has previously remade Hitchcock's Psycho with director Gus Van Sant in 1998. A Strangers on a Train redo is also in the works at Warner Bros. Pictures, which released A Perfect Murder - based on the play that inspired Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder - in 1998.

Platinum Dunes has released succesful remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror, and is working on a new version of The Hitcher.

Then it would be a MUST-SEE for every horror fan, while Hitchcock would turn around in his grave screaming...:D
