... Via here comes an interview with horror-remake enthusiasts and resulting blogger-vitriol receptacles, the producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, the ever-wise duo who've already remade The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Friday the 13th, are currently remaking A Nightmare on Elm Street, and want to remake in the future The Birds (ugh) and Rosemary's Baby (UGH)... and as for the latter, I ...

... Elm St. stuff will have to wait until the time is right, but at the moment, you're just a hop, skip and jump away from finding out where Platinum Dunes currently stands with a Friday the 13th sequel, their present involvement in reported remakes of The Birds and Rosemary's Baby, and how exactly the little-seen Horsemen ended up slipping through the cracks last spring...

The Birds Remake Back-Burnered, Rosemary’s Baby Re-Do Still Happening?
/Film —
... Baby? Confusion! Hopefully the former, because making a movie that isn’t really a remake of the Polanski (itself an adaptation of Ira Levin’s novel) but using the title would be the very definition of hubris. Of course, if you’ve been following along, this is truly confusing. Because last year Fuller told Collider that Rosemary’s wasn’t happening at all because they couldn’t get the script to work.

‘The Birds’ Remake Is (Hopefully) Not Happening
Screen Rant —
... least not for a while. I hope Platinum comes to their senses and drops the project altogether: Hitchcock is no longer with us, please don’t attempt to make a new version of one of his best films.

The Birds Remake Still Stuck In Development
Movie Moron —
the-birds-remake.jpg There are some directors whose work can’t be easily rebooted, and Alfred Hitchcock is one of them. No surprise then that the long talked about remake of The Birds is still firmly stuck in development. If a talented director like Gus Van Sant can fail so miserable with his almost shot for shot version of Psycho a few years ago what hope does this have? Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form ( Texas Chainsaw remake, Friday The 13th remake) have told Horror Squad that one key reason for the project stalling is the nature of the menace - “It’s the ...
