your kidding me right I can understand wanting to revive a movie franchise *cough*make money*cough* but why would Michael bay even go near this he just can`t do suspense although a swarm of CGI birds would look cool I have to admit.
Dude, Shyamalan would be perfect for this movie. His directorial skills are brilliant, it's just his writing sucks. An adaptation would be where he shines.Seekster said:
Michael Bay didn't pull off Transformers. The first one was terrible, I walked out of the theater.Seekster said:
guh! I fucking hate remakes. Like I've said before, remakes are always shitty attempts to bring a clasic film to a "newer generation" that always fail because they never get the right people to do it. If these people really wanted to bring a classic movie to a "newer generation" it seems like a re-release would be more effective as long as they don't CGI it up and say that its "digitally remastered".
Well, I have two thoughts on the matter. One) Alfred Hitchcock was pretty good at horror so remaking one of his cornerstones can't be all bad. Two) How could Michael Bay possibly fit into this? He's not a horror, thriller, or even suspense movie director. Explosions are about as wholesome as films get these days without crossing some cultural/theological border.
All in all what I'm saying is that this is like trying to mix Bananas with Refried Beans. Confused vomit ensues.

At least this one has Martin Campbell involved. I'm not optimistic, but he is a good director.

I've never understood why film-makers feel the need to remake perfectly good films. The remake of Rear Window with Christopher "Superman" Reeve was shit. The remake of Psycho was pointless. And that's just Hitchcock. I mean, The Ladykillers - why? It was great first time around. Same with The Wicker Man.
Hollywood needs to start remaking films that were a good idea done badly - for example, Westworld. Or The Omega Man. Oh no, they already did that - it was called I Am Legend. Should've been called I Am A Good Film For The First Hour But I Have A Horribly Compromised Ending.
