Hitchcock's The Birds to be remade.....why? why? WHY?????

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- "The Birds," Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1963 horror tale, looks to be taking flight again as a Universal Pictures remake.

Filmmaker Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production label is in negotiations to make the update with producer Peter Guber though his Mandalay Pictures banner.

The new version would be based on the short story by Daphne Du Maurier, to which Universal owns the rights and which inspired Hitchcock's original movie.

Of course I'm sure the reason is money, but why remake a near-perfect movie? Why not redo some BAD ones and make them better? A few years ago they remade Psycho...hello, McFly? Anyone at home? That turned out great didn't it?

And this is gonna be remade by the guy who gave us that classic Pearl Harbor...:puke:
