Worst Idea of the Day

Variety is reporting that Cathy Schulman, president of Mandalay Pictures and Mandalay Independent Pictures at Universal has announced a remake of Alfred Hitchock's classic film, "The Birds", scheduled to be in production by early fall.

“We think we have a very contemporary take,” Schulman said. “In the original, the birds just showed up, and it was kind of like, why are the birds here? This time, there’s a reason why they’re here and (people) have had something to do with it. There’s an environmental slant to what could create nature fighting back.”

Woah! What?? This is such a bad idea! "The Birds" is a fantastic film! How dare she mess with Hitchock!! Am I the only one outraged by this? I'm fine with the birds just showing up and I really never needed a reason! 'Environmental slant'? Just leave it alone lady!
