I have a great idea. Write something new. Produce it with old style values.
TRY to come up with some actors with the subtlety of Fonda or Bogart or Stewart or Peck. Stop pissing all over the legacy of classics by remaking them with trite, special effects-driven scripts.
The sequels to "Planet of the Apes" got progressively worse,
but they were MASTERPIECES compared to the remake of the original.
What a convoluted pile of vomit.
The reason "The Birds" remake would be atrocicious:
The suspense in the film is based on the silence and the acting.
The INTERLUDES are what build the mood.
Your proposed version would center on a huge flock of digital birds.
I'm not scared of digital birds, but I'm scared they will remake the movie.

Remaking most films for the sake of technology today seems like a good idea and then a bad idea but it won’t tarnish the original I think with a black eye, it might even work out better than the original. But looking at it from today’s standards seems like a real poor excuse for CGI and Dolby digital to put bums on seats.
Leave, The Birds alone its fine as it is all it needs is a better presentational sound system like JBL and THX sound system to make it look good and sound good not a remake heavens no.
The first Planet of the Apes was a knockout “Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!”
I think Hollywood is running out of ideas now seriously running out of ideas and need to halt on remaking films and get a new bread of screenplay mavericks to write new and original stories not simply rehashing the same story over again and again.
The Thing From Another World VS The Thing are two different things entirely one the original always remained the same creature in a suit, where’s with the remake showed it as it was in the book a shape shifting alien that could take on any form or shape at will!
Anyway this debate can go on and on until some remakes this thread into the son of “Why hasn't Hollywood remade it? Part 2!”
