Birds To Be Remade

[LiddyRules]

With possibly Naomi Watts. Ron warned us about this. He warned us!

Actress Naomi Watts is to star in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1963 thriller "The Birds", entertainment industry press reported on Friday.

Watts, who was born in Britain but moved to Australia as a teenager, is the first star to sign up for the film about birds terrorizing a sleepy Californian coastal town, Daily Variety reported.

Hitchcock's original starred Tippi Hedren in the lead role and was based on a short story by the novelist Daphne du Maurier.

Watts, an Oscar nominee in 2004 for her performance in "21 Grams" before taking a star role in Peter Jackson's "King Kong," was most recently seen in David Cronenberg's acclaimed crime thriller "Eastern Promises."

Ugh, bad CGI birds.

I can't wait for the Generic!Loud!Suspense!Score as the birds attack the house. After all, simply having everything drowned out by deafening bird sounds isn't scarier.*




* This comes from my hatred of The Wicker Man remake where in the original they let the psalm contrast with the tenseness of the situation whereas in the remake you had the Generic!Lous!Suspense!Score.
