The Director’s Iconic Profile Comes to Life in First Photo from ‘HITCHCOCK’

I have to hand it to the make-up department on Hitchcock.  They were even able to give Anthony Hopkins the auteur’s famous jowls.  Surprisingly, he also resembles Michael Caine as Alfred from the Batman films a little bit as well.  Co-starring Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and Jessica Biel as Vera Miles, Hitchcock will follow the tension on and off camera during the making of the classic film Psycho.  Since I recently discovered some of Alfred Hitchcock’s older films – you can find those recent Blu-ray reviews listed under the reviews on the right – I find myself curious about this project.  Or maybe it’s just my love for Johansson and Biel.  Either way . . . this new photo shows promise.  The film just began filming last week and is set for release next year.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
