Given his vast filmography, it may be hard for fans to decide which Alfred Hitchcock movie is their all-time favorite.
Despite the controversy surrounding it, The Birds certainly goes down as a memorable title and a genuinely scary moviegoing experience
And now, 63 years later, it's getting remade as a limited series, Deadline reports. The high-profile package, which is being taken out to buyers courtesy of Universal International Studios, has Sarah Snook attached to star.
Per Deadline, the new version of The Birds is described as a visceral, present-day reimagining of Hitchcock’s classic set in Alaska with a murder mystery at the center and new characters, led by a new female protagonist, Myra Massey (Snook). Here's the longer synopsis offered on Friday, May 29:
"Inspired by the film and Daphne du Maurier’s short story on which it was loosely based, The Birds introduces traveling magistrate Myra Massey (Snook) as she returns to her isolated Alaskan hometown for a routine presumptive death hearing, expecting a simple cold case. Instead, she finds her childhood friend’s bullet-ridden body. When Myra is forced to step outside her role as judge to untangle the mystery, nature itself turns hostile with a wave of bird attacks. Now, Myra isn’t just trying to close a case, she’s fighting to survive in a place where death lurks in both the shadows and the skies."
English writer Du Maurier’s 1952 short story was set in her home county of Cornwall, while Hitchcock’s adaptation took place in Bodega Bay, California, as die-hard fans may recall.
Then there's Snook, 38, who most recently starred in All Her Fault — which was a hit for Peacock and is bringing Snook back into the Emmy convesation for her role as a mom whose child is abducted. She previously received three Primetime Emmy nominations for her role as Shiv Roy on HBO’s Succession, winning in 2023. Added to all that, she won a Tony Award last year for The Picture of Dorian Gray.
