That's the one area in which today's filmmakers could run rings around Hitchcock. The remake would have great special effects, lousy actors, lousy dialogue and no suspense.Originally posted by Japher
I hope they make the birds as fake looking as they were in the original.

rah, this totally sums up how it is, IMHO.Originally posted by rah
It's quite rare when a remake is better than the original.
I highly doubt this will be one of those rare occasions.
"I think Hitch would call them tiny tots trying to make movies and ask why they don't have an original thought in their heads," Hedren said.
So true.
Trying to piggyback off the great's is attrocious
The movies from yesteryear had actual acting to build up drama, unlike sensationalism combined with digital imaging and awesome pyrotechniques

It's decidedly lesser Hitchcock -- probably my least favorite of his films except for the godawful Jamaica Inn -- but that still makes it better than most of the pap Hollywood churns out. Plus, the genius of Hitch is that he actually can make you scared of birds.Originally posted by Dis
errr I never actually seen the original, but has it pointed out that birds can't actually kill people? That's the big thing that kept me from seeing the original."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George Carlin
