Yep, agree!

Not Sci-Fi but I would like to see a modern version of The Birds done well. Definitely not 3D though.

They're redoing Psycho so I suppose there's as good a chance as any

Ooh are they? IMDb here I come....

Edit: I can see they're doing American Psycho, but not Psycho...

Jeez how the hell did that get a second series

Well, okay, I was drunk when I read the interview in Total Film and misunderstood Ms Johansson - they're doing a film about the making of Psycho called Hitchcock.

Anthony Hopkins is playing Hitchcock, Scarlett Johansson is playing Janet Leigh, Hitchcock

Sorry for getting your hopes up

They've already remade Psycho once IMDB REF and pretty poo it was too

It had a bit of a slow start but it has the potential to develop into something good.

Scarlett Johannson has lips that are way too big for that role. Though I imagine that men would salivte over the shower scene.

It lost me half way through the first series.
Might give it another go.

Too many of these shows lose what they were originally about and end up focussing on the interactions between the characters and who is doing what behind the scenes. this is great for something like Game of Thrones, or Mad Men, but it loses the momentum when the antagonist is not in the main group of characters - Like Caprica, or The Walking Dead.

Jeez - the Walking Dead - Are they ever going to leave that ******* farm?

The walking dead Season 2 - Arguing on a farm. The end.


S

Yeah. They turn what should be sci-fi action shows into personal dramas.
I like GOT but man, it's complicated - and hard to follow.
I enjoyed S1 of TWD but have yet to start S2.
MM - maybe one day.

It's cheaper.

30mins of angsty dialogue between characters costs little and is more like 'proper' drama, where they can get some cred from their peers and maybe an award.

Frankly, if I wanted to watch Eastenders ....... well I'd slit my throat actually, but the fact remains that SF should be about big ideas, not whining little shits bemoaning how their father never loved them.

The TV series is a lot easier than the books; lots of trimming been going on, and not a few of those angsty bits added that weren't there originally.

I don't want to spoil it for those that haven't got that far yet but.... And it's got a good cliffhanger too.

The new Snow White movie seems to have quite a few Birds in it. The trailers I've seen look really interesting, with attention holding special effects.
