With just a couple of weeks away until the November 23rd release of Sacha Gervasi’s Hitchcock, Fox Searchlight has released this fascinating featurette that shines a light on the love story of Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville. Watch Gervasi and some of the cast talk about the film and how Hitchcock’s brilliance may have never been realized without the dedication of his wife.
The film is based on the non-fiction book by Stephen Rebello that explains how Hitchcock, while at the height of his career as a director, decides to make a low budget horror film (Psycho) that no studio would touch. Ultimately, this forced Hitchcock to finance the project on his own which then, of course, becomes one of the most influential films of all time.
It’s crazy how much Hopkins looks like Hitchcock.
For sure. At first I was a bit worried as to how the make-up would affect his performance but it seems to be spot on. Everyone looks great in this film, really looking forward to it.
I agree. Should be a well put together film.
