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.

Based on the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello, the film is a love story about Hitch and his wife/partner Alma Reville, played by Helen Mirren, during the making of the legendary director's seminal film Psycho. The story also tracks the obstacles that the English filmmaker had to overcome to make a "lowly" horror movie that no Hollywood studio wanted to touch. Of course, Psycho went on to become one of Hitchcock's biggest hits and one of the most influential movies of all time.

Film About Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho Starts Production with New Title
12 April 2012 11:52 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of ‘Psycho’, the story of how Hollywood’s legendary master of suspense made one of the seminal horror films of all time, has begun production, according to a new announcement from Fox Searchlight Pictures and Montecito Pictures.
The film — starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Helen Mirren — also has a new, one word title. It will simply be called Hitchcock. If you hadn’t noticed already, Hollywood has a current preference for one-word titles. This one happens to work for us.
The film will be directed by first-time helmer, Sacha Gervasi. Production will begin in Los Angeles on Friday.
Gervasi co-wrote Steven Spielberg’s 2004 film The Terminal and also won the Best Documentary award at the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards for Anvil! The Story of Anvil.

‘Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho’ Gets Shortened Title as Production Gears Up
12 April 2012 11:23 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I’ve always thought that, purely as a title, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho simply lacks brevity. You know what you’re getting with the film — the story of how Alfred Hitchcock made Psycho and, more than likely, how it affected his own life — but that doesn’t mean Scorsese should have made His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and the Hard Times in Tibet, either.
So it’s a smart move on Fox Searchlight’s part to have shortened the name down to Hitchcock, one that gets something across and, at the same time, doesn’t take up so much marquee space. More interesting, though, is the apparent shift in narrative content. The film’s source material, a book of the same name by Stephen Rebello, is often cited as one of the definitive accounts of Psycho‘s production — but, with a change in title, we now »

Sacha Gervasi's Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho has picked up a new title, and begun principal photography.

Interview: Richard Portnow Says Good Morning, Vietnam Still Stands Up
14 January 2012 4:15 AM, PST | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
For Richard Portnow, who played Dan “The Man” Levitan in “Good Morning, Vietnam”, watching the film is a bit like going back in time. “It’s interesting watching a film that was made 25 years ago, you look like a kid,” he said. “We were filming in Bangkok for three months. I watch certain scenes and remember when that happened, and there’s other stuff that I don’t remember–in one scene, there’s a little dance that I do, and I don’t remember doing that.” Portnow, like Juney Smith, knew that “Good Morning, Vietnam” would be a great film, but the longevity came as a surprise. “I thought it was going to be »
