Comments on: ‘The Birds’ Remake Gets A New Director? http://screenrant.com/the-birds-remake-new-director-dennis-iliadis-ross-36247/ TV and Movie News, Reviews & Trailers Sat, 26 May 2012 20:56:40 +0000 hourly 1 By: Grace http://screenrant.com/the-birds-remake-new-director-dennis-iliadis-ross-36247/comment-page-1/#comment-412529 Grace Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:35:37 +0000 http://screenrant.com/?p=36247#comment-412529 I don't think a remake is necessary, but I do think it could be amazing if done well. It's actually one remake I have been waiting to see! Hopefully someone does a great job of it and makes it something AH would appreciate and take as a compliment to his work. Something that takes the technology we now have available and beautifully updates the original would be great! I don’t think a remake is necessary, but I do think it could be amazing if done well.

Hey, you could laugh at a miserable fail, or simply love, and enjoy it. The word has already said that Tippi Hedren disaproved, but then soon after, there was news that said that it was based on the STORY as in the BOOK that Hitchcock based it off of, but he left out a bunch, so they are using the bits and pieces along with some of the suspense. As well as for making it rated 'R' then I really think that too much blood, and gore, takes away from the classic plot. Which I think should moderatly be kept. Basically, if your going to remake it, why fight it? If your so POSITIVE its going to be absoloutely horrible, then theres a comedy for us. No reason for a bunch of fits, for something, that now might not happen. I was looking foward to having a remake, think about Avatar. EVERYONE said that it would totally stink, then they were forced to watch it by a relative, or friend and they LOVED it. Think about the AMAZING editing in Avatar, if you took at least HALF of that, and added it to the plot of 'The Birds' just THINK of the AMAZING stuff that could be done!!!

Why try to spoil the "perfection".Sir AH can not be imitated or outdone. He is as unique to the cinema as the sun is to the solar system. I don't believe there should be a remake of the film.

The problem is when this stuff started they had some success at it. Remember the "Addam's Family" movies and the "Beverly Hillbillies?" they grossed around 300mm combined. That got the ball rolling and I guess you can say the silver screen like the eye we all seem to have in our homes, never blinks. Cable TV has compounded the problem, so we're drowning in content. Some people contend that all stories have been told already. It's just a matter of readjusting what you have. It wouldn't surprise me if their isn't a formula out there for every method discovered to tell a story and how to encompass, modify, and change up a story to breath some life into it after it has grown stale. In fact most know guidelines have existed for years. You see them on TV once in awhile "10 rules of good horror movies" stuff like that. Making the process as mechanical as possible... well if you haven't read my rantings on this stuff just do a search they're all here... In principle Robyn2 I agree with you.

Have they forgotten "Psycho" remake disaster? Hitch must be turning in his grave! Remakes, sequels forever, Tv show remakes etc., dumb comedies, - that is why these days I see 3-4 movies a YEAR, when I used to see a movie (or two) every week! Not spending my hard earned $$$ on garbage! And I stay away from any movie that has Michael Bay name on it! Wow, another dumb idea from Hollywood’s “brilliant minds”!

Then when they find it isn't working they will just throw plenty of blood and guts in front of the camera, crank up the special effects, and go for the gross out factor.

It just means that when the birds attack, we'll see a lot more of the damage that they can inflict, which in my opinion, increases the suspense of it all.

But Dennis Iliadis just isn't up to snuff, he's just not the right director, IMHO. Martin Campbell is a very talented director, and I think he could have done something great with The Birds.
