George Clooney To Star In Painfully Needless Remake Of The Birds?
As good as The Birds was, we thought that it lacked two main things - old-school charm and an oblique criticism of the government. So thank heavens that George Clooney is apparently close to starring in a remake of The Birds. If reports are to be believed then George Clooney is all set to take on the role of Mitch Bremner - the man who doesn't die and gets away safely at the end of the movie - in next year's The Birds remake, to probably be directed by Martin Campbell. Of course, 45 years have passed since the original, so George Clooney's version will need some updating. For instance, since climate change is such a worry, The Birds remake will be given a more ecological bent. And instead of having birds in it, it'll be about plants that kill people for no reason. And Mark Wahlberg's going to star in it. It'll be excellent, really.
