* Lots of good news on the “I hope you fail in your goal of making a terrible movie” front: Platinum Dunes is having trouble getting anywhere with their remake of The Birds and has abandoned the idea of remaking Rosemary’s Baby, while Marc Forster, director of the upcoming World War Z adaptation, says the J.
