Remake of "The Birds"

I was looking something up on IMDB and came across this page:

Why remake a classic movie like The Birds?:bang2::bang2:

Why can't hollywood come up with something original instead of doing remakes?

i don't think they know how anymore.

Hollywood has become one big cover band.

I agree with all of you... but it is smart on their part.

Anyone that would not look at an "old movie" may go to see a NEW movie... even if its a remake.

I can see doing a remake to bring it to a new generation

but that's if it hasn't been done a million times over already, up to including remaking current, foreign films

What's next? Another King Kong or is it time for Jaws 45?

Hollywood has always been about the re-make or making lots of sequels. The Thin Man had many sequels. Look at all the Road movies with Crosby and Hope. Even John Wayne was involved in a sequel as the character Rooster Cogburn. I also really have never seen much difference between Rio Bravo and El Dorado.

I do think hollywood seems to use remakes and sequels a bit more these days, but it is a formula that hollywood has embraced since they started shooting movies.
