It is a travesty to think anyone can actually even TRY to make a movie that is a staple of Hitchcock's work. The biggest slap to the face was when Gus Van Sant smoked crack and tried to become a filmmaker by raping the Psycho in 1998. Stop he insanity and save the original Birds!

The only point of doing so is to give the younger generations something to catch their eye, instead of giving them a reason to see some real art. My generation has no appreciation for film anymore and I blame all the flash and gore we have in movies these days. It's hard to find someone that can appreciate the classics these days and this remake will only distroy the memories for those you have seen its original. DON'T REMAKE "THE BIRDS"!!!!!!!

Especially not a Hitchcock masterpiece. I don't know why people have to do that, what do they have in mind: beating the original ? Hardly possible and even if it's better, the remake is just the copy of the original one like Tippi Hedren said. Entertaining people? Hmm... yes, some people, mainly those who don't know the movie has already been made !! Making money? Well, yes ! Simply just taking some of the good old classics, and make a new movie from the masters' ideas.

I guess they didn't learn their lesson from the "Psycho" remake. (I even found out that there was a sequel to the original "Birds" back in the 90s.) Remakes (or the more politically correct term, "re-imaginings") are becoming too rampart in the American film industy. Down with them all!

Film making is a unique art in its self and there is no reason why pop-corn entertainers should not be as much respected as more (so called) artistic films. But the idea of a classic Hitch Cock film being remade my this type of director is ridiculous. Stating the plot of this master piece makes it sound like a stupid B-movie, 'birds deliver a coordinated assault on mankind.' Hitch Cock's style is what made this film timeless.
