We're all so quick to jump the gun, get pissed off and scream bloody murder - especially when it comes to remakes. But sometimes we fail to remember the source of inspiration and make quick assumptions (we all know what that makes). Awhile back Platinum Dunes, the boys behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Amityville Horror remakes, broke the news that they'll be making their own version of The Birds, which was instantly dubbed a remake, while the fact of the matter is it's really just another adaptation of a short story by Daphne Du Maurier. Read on for a little word about what we can expect from the new film...
During an interview with Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller, Elaine Lamkin asked: There has also been talk that Platinum Dunes may remake Hitchc ock’s “The Birds” – again, would this be a remake or a reinterpretation and where are you in the production process?
Brad responded, "We are considering remaking “The Birds”, but our remake is not based on the Hitchc ock film. It is based on the Daphne Du Maurier short story. So while the concept of birds attacking will be the same, the plot is totally different from Hitchc ock’s film. We are currently in the process of developing the script."
Does this justify the film? I think so... I'm ready to hear more! Watch for the full interview this weekend.
