It’s finally here, and now we can all take a look at the Hitchcock trailer! Anthony Hopkins plays the Master of Suspense “obsessed by murder”, alongside Helen Mirren who plays his wife, Alma. The movie highlights the period of his life where he made the classic film Psycho - that famous shower scene, eh? Ah, the memories. And luckily for us, Scarlett Johansson is playing that part.
From the trailer (below) it looks like quite an entertaining drama which delves quite deeply into the making of the film, and also Hitchcock’s relationships and social life. Both Mirren and Hopkins look like quite strong characters, and from what we can tell so far, this is definitely one to watch out for.
The supporting cast includes Danny Huston, Toni Collette, Jessica Biel,Michael Stuhlbarg, James D’Arcy, Michael Wincott, Richard Portnow, Kurtwood Smith. According to /Film, we also get to see director Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) recreate famous scenes from Psycho. Now, surely that’s worth a watch! But take a look for yourselves:
Well, want to see more? You’ll have to wait until next month. Excited? We are. In the meantime, here’s the actual film description quoted from /Film:
“HITCHCOCK is a love story about one of the most influential filmmakers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock, and his wife and partner Alma Reville. The film takes place during the making of Hitchcock’s seminal movie PSYCHO.”
And you can see Hitchcock when it opens on Novemeber 23.
Bronwen Winter Phoenix is a 26-year-old three-time published fiction author and freelance journalist currently residing in the UK.
A highly-devoted supporter of the Root Vegetable Rights Campaign (1976 – present), she is therefore one of those evil meat-eater types. Of course, she’s not adverse to a good parsnip or two, as long as they’ve been treated right.
Not having a clue what she’s currently doing in life, Bronwen has vowed to abandon all her woes in the deepest and darkest Amazonian jungle she can find, in a loin cloth, if things go inherently wrong for her. Also, having received various offers from men promising to take her to Easter Island, she still hasn’t been yet. Still a sore point, and she is still open to offers.
Under the alias of Capt. Feral Phoenix, Bronwen started up her own online magazine called ‘Feral Army’ where she freely employed a bunch of writers she called ‘ferals’ to write for her. Bronwen herself managed to interview many celebrities and write about things such as Carl Jung and horror writing before Feral Army finally closed its doors in early 2011. It had a good run, but it needed the funding rather badly.
Her publisher at Cauliay Publishing once stated that if there was an X-Factor for writers, she would be the winner. Little does he know that if there was an X-Factor for writers, she would probably kill herself. You can read more of Bronwen at her site: bronwenwinterphoenix.com
