Just look at some of these titles today on the posts, it’s depressing for the movie industry. However, the news from the Producers of the remake of The Birds is that it’s still on and that it will follow the original source material. Oh, that’ll be okay then!
From Dark Horizons the story goes that…
…rather than being slavishly faithful to the original, their film will not attempt to improve upon the master. Instead, the script will be based on the short story which inspired Hitchcock’s film.
“You’re talking about someone that’s been known as the best thriller director of all time,” Forman says. “And we’re talking about a man that’s revered across the board. … We’re not remaking the Hitchcock movie. Not at all”. Although the producers remain optimistic, the project hasn’t progressed past the script stage and according to Fuller, a deal is “very far away”.
Okay…let me see, that falls under the title of re-visualisation then does it?…I just don’t see any good in this at all.
