TMI (Today’s Movie Info)
Director Sacha Gervasi is currently filming a script based on the Stephen Rebello book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The first images of Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock have been released:
Compare Hopkins to the real deal:
The film will also star Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, Jessica Biel as Vera Miles and James D’Arcy as Anthony Perkins. This is not intended to be a remake of Psycho, but rather a display of HOW the film was made. It may turn out to be fantastic, but my initial reaction is …. hands off my Hitchcock! … so to speak.
Movie Reviews from the Dark 
I am fascinated by Hopkins’ transformation for this role! It will certainly get to see the film, but I have the same reservations about anyone messing with Hitchcock’s work. It should be unwritten filmmakers code that Hitchcock’s work not be disturbed!
Hopkins is the perfect choice, and I am giving it a shot in hopes that they remain true to the book … which is about the process and obstacles faced in making the film. Hitchcock remakes are taboo – just ask Gus Van Sant, Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche!
