Hitchcock biopics: The Girl (2012) and Hitchcock (2013)

Nobody to play Marty Balsam?

Be happy they don't have Chris Pine playing John Gavin. But why isn't Robert Bloch listed as a character?

These kind of movies almost never work.

Indeed. Wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be another turd.

Nice 'lookalike' work on Hopkins, though.

Can't think of what the movie is going to be about, aside from the making of PSYCHO, in which case I'd rather just watch the great 90-minute doc on the PSYCHO DVD/Blu-ray.

Rather just watch the flick than a flick about the making of that flick.

Looks like they making a mountain of a mole hole. The Benny-Hitch TORN CURTAIN madness would be a more dramatically interesting film.

Get Donald Trump for Hitch.

Indeed. The end of one of the greatest creative collaborations ever.

His hair is morbidly fascinating.

Had no idea there is ANOTHER Hitch biopic on the way: http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/alfred-hitchcock-creepy-infatuation-leading-ladies-195816079.html

Can't wait for PRINT THE LEGEND: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN FORD starring Tyler Perry.

I would gladly take a Michael Gladis Welles picture.

Is there even really a story here?

There wasn't for My Week with Marilyn, that's for sure.

Hitchcock's relationship with Selznick might be better fodder for a film, but... neither of these inspire a modicum of confidence.

I'm still trying to figure out a script for a film about the making of a film, but that film is one of the biggest production calamities in Hollywood history. Is the making of either of these Hitchcock films all that dramatic?

The Toby Jones version looks like shit.



But, let's be honest--they will both probably be shit.

Jesus Fucking Christ. That's not Hitchcock, that's John McGiver from THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and MIDNIGHT COWBOY!

I'm sure the film will be, er, a "turd", but who gives a shit about physical resemblance? Hopkins looks nothing like him either, but that's basically the last reason to watch a biopic.

Yeah, but Jones looks so ridiculously not like him.

In 50 years time they can make a couple of films about the making of 2012's The Girl and 2013's Hitchcock.....and then in a 100years time....

THE MASSIVE FUCK-UP (2062)

THE TROUBLE WITH MAKING HALF-ASSED ALFRED HITCHCOCK BIOPICS (2020)

I guess Danny Elfman is scoring the Hopkins film. Good, yet obvious choice.

Checked IMDb. Paul Schackman's playing Benny Herrrmann. Could be worse.
