Universal To Remake “The Birds”

Remakes are in style once again. And, this time, the remake will be done of none other than the master of suspense movies – Alfred Hitchcock. After successfully remaking several 80’s slasher films, Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes banner is remaking Hitchcock’s “The Birds”.

Platinum Dunes and Universal have tapped Dutch filmmaker Diederik Van Rooijen to direct the remake. Rooijen is famous for his “Tapped”.

Hitchcock’s legendary film portrayed a San Francisco socialite who moves to a small northern California town that is suddenly under attack from various types of birds. The producers still haven’t spoke of if any change is brought in the remake.
