Hitchcock (2012)


Yea I like this. I think A Hopkins is so cool here. :)
I think this also paints the prettiest and most squeaky clean imagine of Janet Leigh.
Released November 23rd in the US.
Filmed in California.
The story : In the 40s , Ed Gein became infamous for his terrifying actions.
In the 50s , a book called 'Psycho' was written , depicting Geins' heinous crimes.
Right after finishing 'North By Northwest' , Hitchcock was bored with doing the same old routine and wanted to get back to making something new and exciting.
He also believed thats exactly what movie goers wanted as well.
When he got word of this new horrific book he soon became obsessed with the idea of making it into a movie.
Everyone , I mean everyone was against the idea. Having only bad things to say about it.
Paramount turned Hitchcocks' idea flat on its ass.
So the master of suspence decided the only way he could get this genius of a film made was to finance it himself , waving his directors cut but taking only 40 percent of the profits.
This idea sat with Paramount.
When the film was nearly finished , Hitchcocks wife recut it to be what it is today.
The masterpiece that everyone adored.
