Naomi Watts in “The Birds” Remake

From a giant, furry king of the jungle to little, furry birds? Apparently that’s the curious path Naomi Watts’ career is taking, as she is expected to sign onto the remake of Hitchcock’s “The Birds” anyday now. The remake is the brainchild of “Armageddon” director Michael Bay, who has inexplicably decided to remake the film for a few years now for some UnGodly reason. Bay and company have just given the writing job to Leslie Dixon, who also scribed the remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair”. Now I’m no cinematic douche that thinks all classics shouldn’t be remade, but what in the world would be the point of remaking “The Birds” except to toss in a sea of CGI birds? Seriously, Hollywood, you’re really starting to piss me off now.
