Remake of Hitchcock's The Birds: NO!

To:  Universal Pictures

We, the undersigned, ask that NO ONE (directors, actors, writers...) remakes Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, for we find it to be an insult.

A lot of people seem to think that just because back in the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's they didn't have technology, movies were not good. This isn't true. Movies back then were actually better than they are today. They had better stories, better actors, better dialogues and, of course, they didn't have to be naked and swear all the time in order for the movie to be interesting.

Technology is a 'necessary evil' in order to do sci-fi movies, for example. But a movie like The Birds doesn't need to be remade. Sure, Hitchcock didn't have technology but his talent with the camera was much bigger than all computers combined. He had the ability to produce fear in an audience like no one else. Therefore, we find it unnecessary, useless and most of all, an insult to remake The Birds. Please, don't do it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
