Scarlett Johansson to star as Janet Leigh in upcoming making of PSYCHO film!?

 
 I just read in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine that film star Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the upcoming film, ALFRED  HITCHCOCK AND THE MAKING OF PSYCHO, as Janet Leigh.     The film will also star Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock,  Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife, and James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins.
  I find it strange for a feature film to be made about the making of a film.  I'm not sure anything like this has been done before.  And I think things will get really confusing when the DVD comes out and one of the special features is "The Making of Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho"!
 This could be a very cool project, and Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock should be very interesting!

Lost Hitchcock film found!

Check out this awesome AP news story my buddy Cody at work found on Yahoo news:


LOS ANGELES – Alfred Hitchcock is still surprising his fans.
Film preservationists say they've found the first half of "The White Shadow," the earliest surviving feature film on which Hitchcock has a credit.

The first three reels of the six-reel film made in 1923 were discovered by the National Film Preservation Foundation at the New Zealand Film Archive.

"The White Shadow" was directed by Graham Cutts, and Hitchcock is credited as writer, assistant director, editor and art director. Hitchcock's own directing debut came two years later.

Foundation Director Annette Melville said Wednesday that the reels of "The White Shadow" were found among films donated to the archive by the family of New Zealand projectionist and collector Jack Murtagh.

No other copy of "The White Shadow" is known to exist.

The film is a melodrama about twin sisters — one good, the other evil.


This is very cool....hopefully they will find the second half someday so we can see the full film!
