Birds Of A Feather

With Martin Campbell preparing Green Lantern, I thought we would have been spared the long gestating totally unnecessary remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Birds--not so Pajiba reports.



The site says Campbell wanted a PG-13 release for the project but as "The Green Lantern" has shaped up, his interest in the pic was not a priority.
