Remaking Alfred Hitchcock movies is a bit of a blasphemy. Granted, THE BIRDS was my least favorite Hitchcok classic, I thought it was the concept was amusing and I was laughing throughout the entire film, but bringing it for today’s audience doesn’t mean it needs to be modernized, I’m all for an idea of re-releasing all of Hitchcock films in theaters for one week only, that would be an epic event. But alas, the inevitable will always happen and Hollywood is seriously developing THE BIRDS remake. Director Martin Campbell and Naomi Watts were circling the project but Panjiba said that’s not the case anymore… Read the rest of this entry »

Not too long ago, we heard that GREEN LANTERN hit a road bump because Australian dollar has “blown out production costs” and there were reports that the studio might move the production to possibly around New Orleans area. Hollywood Reporter said it’s been confirmed that WB has pulled the production of GREEN LANTERN out of Australia.
The decision was made because of “the current global economic situation, including fluctuations in currency valuation and overall costs,”
Turns out, the dollar is falling against every other countries currency, not just Australia. GREEN LANTERN will still open on scheduled, June 17th, 2011 but production will move to either Mexico or Canada.
Starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan. Martin Campbell will be directing using the script written by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.
