Here's a little story I never thought I'd be reporting-- Universal is setting up an offer to Naomi Watts (The Ring, King Kong) to star in Platinum Dunes' The Birds, another adaptation of the classic short story. The latest news on a writer is that Leslie Dixson (The Thomas Crown Affair) in now on board. 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.
