Michael Bay's strangely chiseled face is remaking The Birds

[Chigworthy]

This can't be good. They're exhuming Hitchcock now. Rather than meditate on what made Hitchcock so good, then take that knowlege and create something original as an homage, let's just buy the script, shit on it, then add witty references to the modern world and watch the cash pour in.

I have a personal stake in this one; I live about 10 minutes from the town of Bodega, where the famous school jungle gym scene was filmed. 10 minutes past that is Bodega Bay, where a lot of the coastal scenes where shot. The Birds always been a source of local pride around here, and some god-durn city boy is gonna remake it? I wonder if they will film it around here. If so, it would be possible for me to see Naomi Watts in person. If she's still hot, I might forgive Michael Bay.

Speaking of old chisel-face, he's also remaking Friday the 13th and some move about Rush called 2012.

Thats funny cause they were just saying on the show the other day that nobody would be able to sit through a Hitchcock movie because they are too long and not enough action right away. It will be interesting to see what he doest with it, if he sticks to the original or if its a horror of a different sort.

I can't imagine it being a respectful remake.

They learned nothing from the remake of Psycho??
Hollywood is fucked

It just blows my mind that we as a society have run out of stories. Its official - everything has been done, so now its jsut a matter of trying to redo everything.

I can't wait for the remakes of Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, North by Northwest and On the Waterfront! I'm so excited at the prospects of Nicholas Cage playing Brando and Vince Vaughn playing Orson Wells.

Those were all fictitious of course, but would anyone be surprised if they did this?

I am SO sick of old ideas being recycled.

i love vince. what's "citizen kane" going to be about?

during the show when hitchcock came up, ron also said there are essentially two types of stories: a stranger comes to town, or a man goes on a journey. i really should make a list of all the things ron's taught me over the years
