The Birds

From Variety, and presented without comment:

Cathy Schulman has made her first hires and promotions as president of Mandalay Pictures and Mandalay Independent Pictures. A highlight of the Mandalay Pictures' slate at Universal is the remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 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."

No. Really. I'm not going to add anything.
