Just One Hitch! ‘Hitchcock’ Stars Name Their Favorite Scene and Movie By The Master Of Suspense

We’re almost ashamed to admit we haven’t seen this in the theater yet. We actually are ashamed that another movie that opened the same weekend as Hitchcock,  a certain low-budget horror-action sequel with wall-to-wall Grand-Guignol practical effects, took priority over Hitchcock to see in the theater. This piece was so cool and in-depth that we were really happy to read that Hitchcock is only in limited release in the US now,  and it will be released wide in theaters on February 8th, 2013!  Enjoy this great read from Movieline.com.

 

Name That Horror Frame – Week of 11-12-2012 – Special Hitchcock Edition!

The Hitchcock   theatrical biopic that focuses on the making of Psycho  comes out sooner rather than later this month! It has to be better than HBO’s The Girl. It  was well made and well-acted, it was just very, very unpleasant to watch. See you next year, sex drive! I understand why you need to go away until Parker  comes out in January. Poor Tippi Hendren (and poor Alma Reville, though in at least one scene, they have separate beds).  That’s how I picked the theme for this week.

OK, These shouldn’t be too hard,; even if you haven’t seen a bunch of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies, I tried to find some fairly iconic images. All these DVDs I want to give away (last week’s update of the contest/giveaway rules can be found here). Oh, and in that previous posting, I pretty much spilled the name of one Thai horror anthology that I did another special edition of— they’re all from the same movie. Go back and look if you want, it’s pretty obvious, then put your answer in the “reply/comment” section.

And away we go…

I heard that scene was a NIGHTMARE to shoot …for the leading lady, that is.

Same leading lady, also no picnic for her to shoot…

and finally… this should ring a bell!

Welp, that’s all for this week’s contest. Put your answers below. Don’t everyone go wildly posting at once, though! 😉

Good Evening. Here’s the First Theatrical Trailer For “Hitchcock” in HD!

“You shouldn’t wait till halfway through. Kill her off after thirty minutes.”  –Helen Mirren as Alma Reville

“Why are you letting him do something so tasteless?”
“Don’t upset yourself, darling, it’s only a bloody movie!” -Alma Reville
Hear, hear!

Wow, Anthony Hopkins has it nailed. The only sight difference is he doesn’t have the thick, droopy lower lip, but I can definitely overlook such a minor detail…

I also definitely think they had the right idea by focusing on the making of one film– and by having that film be Psycho  Take a look at the first full-length trailer for Hitchcock  below…
