Scream Queen Brenna Roth Says 'The Birds' Will Be 3-D

You may not know the name Brenna Lee Roth, but you definitely know some of her movies. Let's see here ... Frat House Massacre, Fist of the Vampire, The Horror Convention Massacre. Nah, I'm kidding. You never saw those flicks. But if you saw movies like Spider-Man 3, Zack & Miri, and Adventureland, then you may have spotted Brenna if you didn't blink since she's "uncredited" in all three.But there's certainly nothing wrong with working in the B-horror department, especially when it puts you in close proximity to producers Michael Bay and Brad Fuller. Meetings with those gentlemen can lead to big gigs and even more publicity, as evident by this interview at MarketSaw.com, and here's what Ms. Roth told the 3-D-addicted blogger Jim Dorey: "I am in talks with the producer of The Birds (remake) and he said he wanted to do it 3D ... Yes Clooney and Watts both attached so far."
So while the casting news isn't exactly brand-new, this might be the first time I've heard The Birds remake mentioned as a possible 3-D experience. Does this heighten or lessen your disdain for the project? Does it add a slight "camp" factor to a remake of a really excellent horror film? And most important of all: Will spilling these beans help or hurt Brenna Roth's chances of getting a speaking part in the movie?

It does add to the appeal to the movie. You know something you couldn't get in Hitchcock version. Hopefully this will try to at least achieve the enjoyment of the King Kong remake (2005) That's an example of what a remake should be. A story that is unique, has character development, and is faithful to the original.

That's actually great news right there. I couldn't think of any movie that would serve 3-D better than one in which killer birds come flying toward your head.
There's no way it could be as boring as the original, so in that respect, it's already winning the remake race for acceptance by the losers who have nothing better to do than argue about them.

The Birds is like Alfred Hitchcock's version of an X-file. But the thing that dates it most are the clunky special effects and when I heard about this I thought it might actually work in 3-D. It Could be good.
Just spare us any environmental theme. The Birds is so wonderfully chilling because we do not know why the Birds are going nuts. The protagonists wonder and try to reason it out, but in the end The Birds are just an unstoppable force that they have to escape from without understanding why.
