I don’t have a story, because in my mind the character got killed, and worse. Since this year marks the 10th anniversary, Raimi answered Bloody Disgusting's question about it earlier in 2019. Every so often, Raimi gets asked why this movie never got a sequel. Unlike so many, it's an original work written by director Raimi and his brother Ivan. I definitely consider Sam Raimi's 2009 horror film to be a modern classic. But we shouldn't leave the world with the 1994 made-for-TV movie The Birds II: Land's End as the definitive sequel. There's a lot of room for creativity here, branching off from the original novel or Hitchcock's movie, or a combination. The Birds never explained why the birds started attacking, and maybe that should never be explained in a sequel. But today I'm not looking for a new adaptation, I'm curious about a sequel. A couple of years ago, the BBC announced it was working on a TV series more closely adapting Daphne du Maurier's U.K.-set story, which Hitchcock's film heavily diverged from. ![]() Birds are a lot easier to handle when they're CGI, and modern VFX could mix real and fake in a way that is completely seamless. ![]() But as much as I loved The Birds, the 1963 film could definitely use the help of modern technology for those unintentionally funny moments. My little Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece collection is one of my most prized possessions.
