Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay’s company) and Mandalay Pictures are producing a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds for Universal. The 1963 classic starred Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor. The Hollywood Reporter says, “Naomi Watts has been loosely attached to star in the film for years, but her involvement is script-dependent.

 Jonathan Herman penned the most recent version of the screenplay.”

The look on my face when this came across the wire. Exactly Tippy, exactly.

 

So what, the birds are gonna be robots and will explode every which way?  STEP AWAY FROM THE CGI, BAY.
