Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS is Being Adapted into TV Series By HARRY POTTER Producer David Heyman For The BBC

The BBC is producing a TV series adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1963 film The Birds. The Birds is such a great movie and one of Hitchcock's best. The story centers around a wealthy San Francisco socialite who visits a small town in California where, for some reason, birds have started terrorizing the residents.

It's not hard to imagine this story being turned into a TV series. If it can be done with Psycho, with A&E's Bates Motel, it can be done with The Birds. The BBC even hired Harry Potter producer David Heyman to develop it for them, which means we will get a quality series. Of course, The BBC puts out a lot of quality series.

According to Digital Spy, The series will be set in rural Cornwall, "where a farmhand and his community is being terrorized by flocks of birds and seagulls shortly after the end of the Second World War."

I actually really like this new setting for the story and I think it will bring some interesting elements to the story. 

The Birds series will be written by Irish playwright and writer Conor McPherson. I'm curious to see how this comes together and how this story plays out in the new setting. What do you think about The BBC and David Heyman developing a series based on this classic movie?
