First Look At Scarlett Johansson As Janet Leigh In 'Hitchcock'

16 May 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Alfred Hitchcock seems to be firmly in the zeitgeist at the moment: the British Film Institute is showing an extensive retrospective of the director's work later in the year, and the next twelve months or so will see not one, but two biopics of the legendary master of suspense. The first, "The Girl," is made for British television and focuses on the relationship between Hitch and his "The Birds" star Tippi Hedren, with Toby Jones playing the director and Sienna Miller taking on the actress's role.

But a far starrier take has been behind cameras for a few weeks now: "Hitchcock" (formerly titled "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho"), which sees Anthony Hopkins' take on the filmmaker, with a supporting cast including Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel, Michael Stuhlbarg, James D'Arcy, Toni Colettte, Danny Huston and Michael Wincott, among others, and "Anvil!" director Sacha Gervasi at the helm. As the old title might suggest, »

First Look at Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in Sacha Gervasis New Biopic

19 April 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

I must admit when I heard that Anthony Hopkins would be taking the role of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming story of 'Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho' I was mostly worried about how well he'd be able to pull off looking like the iconic director. Well I'll now certainly have a plate with some words and a knife and a fork. What I'm trying to say is I'll eat my words. Fox Searchlight has revealed the first look at Hopkins as Hitchcock and its a damn fine resemblance indeed. Scarlett Johansson ('The Avengers'), Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel ('The Tall Man'), James D'Arcy, Danny Huston, Wallace Langham, Michael Wincott, Kurtwood Smith ('RoboCop') and Toni Collette ('The Sixth Sense') also star in the new biopic helmed by Sacha Gervasi. 'Black Swan' writer John McLaughlin has adapted the story »

First Look: Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock

19 April 2012 12:32 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Fox Searchlight Pictures has debuted the very first look at Anthony Hopkins as the legendary Alfred Hitchcock in Sacha Gervasi’s (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) upcoming biopic. Now we know what Hopkins looks like in Hitch make-up, you can almost hear his voice in your head delivering The Master of Suspense’s immortal dry line, “Good Evening”.

Not that I think Hopkins looks much like Hitchcock mind you. Then again he didn’t look a great deal like Richard Nixon either in Oliver Stone’s mid 90′s movie but he delivered a compelling and fiery performance that sure felt like Nixon.

Filming began this week on the movie which is now simply going by the title ‘Hitchcock’ and no longer ‘Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho’, the name of the Stephen Rebello book upon which it is based. A wise choice, I’d say.

Anthony Hopkins is Transformed into Alfred Hitchcock for... 'Hitchcock'

18 April 2012 2:53 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

People premiered the image you see to the right of Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming film Hitchcock (previously known as Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho). The feature got underway last week on Friday the 13th (natch) and is based on Stephen Rebello's 1998 non-fiction book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" and tracks how Hitchcock, at the height of his game as a director, decided to make a 'lowly' horror movie. No studio wanted to touch it initially so Hitchcock scrounged for financing by himself. The film will center on the relationship between Hitchcock (Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren). Joining Hopkins and Mirren in the feature are Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins, Jessica Biel as Vera Miles, Toni Collette as Peggy Robertson, Danny Huston as Whitfield Cook, Michael Stuhlbarg as Lew Wasserman, Michael Wincott as Psycho's muse Ed Gein, »

Whoa: First Look At Anthony Hopkins As Alfred Hitchcock In 'Hitchcock'

18 April 2012 2:14 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Well, we already got a peek at what Toby Jones looks like as Alfred Hitchock in "The Girl" -- one of two movies on the way about the director -- and now it's time for Anthony Hopkins to step into the famous silhouette, and it's pretty impressive.

People have dropped the first look at "Hitchcock" (formerly known as "Alfred Hitchock And The Making Of Psycho"), which started filming last Friday the 13th (of course), and kudos to the makeup department because that is one helluva transformation. Impressive stuff. Sacha Gervasi is directing the star-studded pic that will chronicle the making of the classic horror film that found Hitchock battling an indifferent studio, while still managing to make one of the most iconic movies of all time.

Ralph Macchio: From 'Karate Kid' to 'Psycho' Man

17 April 2012 5:01 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Ralph Macchio is checking into the Bates Motel.

The former (and forever) "Karate Kid" himself will be polishing his writing skills (via a little wax-on, wax-off?) as he signs on to play Joseph Stefano in "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of 'Psycho,'" according to Deadline.

The film (which IMDb has listed simply as "Hitchcock") chronicles the making of The Master's classic horror flick that ended up being one of the most influential genre films of all time — despite the fact that no studio wanted to touch the material at the time.

Joseph Stefano, an inexperienced Hollywood screenwriter with only one credit under his belt, was hired by Hitchcock (played by Anthony Hopkins in the film) to rework longtime "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" staff writer James Cavanaugh's reportedly "very dull" adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel, which was inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer and grave robber Ed »

Ralph Macchio To Play Screenwriter Joe Stefano In 'Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho'

17 April 2012 3:22 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It's not easy being a child star of the '80s. Few have made it into adulthood without drugs, audience disinterest or mismanagement sidelining their careers or halting any momentum they might've had. And in some cases, you turn into the pod person that was formerly Kirk Cameron. But for Ralph Macchio, he's avoided the tabloid headlines of some of his contemporaries, and fallen largely into a path that sees him riffing on his former celebrity. But he's lined up a role that could be a nice entry into more serious roles, or just a reminder that he's around, willing to work and that he's not the Karate Kid anymore.

Macchio has joined the sprawling ensemble of Sacha Gervasi's "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho." He'll be taking on the role of Joe Stefano, the young screenwriter who came in and adapted Robert Bloch's novel, winning approval »

Emily Blunt is in talks to join Tom Cruise in All You Need is Kill directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) and adapted on the graphic novel of the same name. The story is said to be in the vein of Groundhog Day with a twist, centering on a soldier in a war against aliens who finds himself reliving his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier. Blunt will play another soldier who fights alongside Cruise. The same report also says Blunt is among the top choices to star alongside Johnny Depp in the Warner Bros. remake The Thin Man with Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig also being among the top contenders.

We all love The Karate Kid. No, not the ridiculously long remake that featured Kung-Fu instead of Karate despite its name, we're talking the original, man! Why are we talking about that? Because some interesting Hitchcock casting news has just broken.
