Some Alfred Hitchcock News in Brief...
Halloween is still a week away, but we have some good news for horror fans: Anthony Hopkins has confirmed that he will play the master of suspense in an upcoming biopic, according to MTV Movies. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, about the director's struggles to make Pyscho, will be directed by Ryan Murphy (Running With Scissors). Check out Hopkins' Hitchcock impression here.
Dan Fogler, recent Back Stage cover story subject and star of Balls of Fury, will also be playing Hitchcock in Number 13, co-starring Ewan McGregor and Ben Kingsley.
"[The movie is] cool if you're a Hitchcock fan," Fogler told MTV Movies. "Just like Shakespeare in Love, you see how he comes up with certain ideas [for future films] from events that happened during the course of the movie."
And if Hitchcock fans are pleased with those two items, here's one more likely to ruin your day: Michael Bay is still producing an unnecessary remake of The Birds, and Naomi Watts has just signed on to star. David Campbell (Casino Royale) is set to direct.
