Rumor Control: 'The Birds' Remake Begins at the 'Last House on the Left'?
Thursday, December 3, 2009

We've firmed up some unconfirmed news floating around the web last night over at Pajiba. It is 100% true that Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) will NOT be directing Universal Pictures' remake of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, although their report that Last House on the Left helmer Dennis Iliades would be replacing him was 100% bogus. Through a few e-mails we learned that Iliades had at once talked to Platinum Dunes producers, but at this time there are no deals on the table or even talks for that matter. Tippi Hedren starred in the original thriller about increasingly vicious birds that terrorize a small town.

No! No! No! 500 calories? No! but seriously, at least a shitty remake will make some people go back to the true masterpiece.

'The Birds'. Yet another project that has slipped through the fingers of Platinum Dunes. I don't see much of a future for that production company.

It's being remade because they can make it look a lot more realistic now. But what about the screenplay, acting and perfect style of the original? What Director will be able to match or surpass Hitchcock's Talent? Because of this reason...I'm accepting of a remake, but not excited. You see, the problem with all these remakes is that the really talented Directors of today won't touch them. Maybe the great Directors who careers are waning might.... Give it to Brian de Palma...he's obsessed with Hitchcock...he'd probably do a good job. William Friedkin or Paul Schraeder could handle it. It's going to have to be a "class" production...or they shouldn't do it.
