Eh..... Anthony Hopkins does not disappear in the role I imagined him doing (say what you want about not fitting the physical build of Nixon, he nailed the voice and mannerisms). Helen Mirren as Alma looks like the most interesting thing in the picture.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 10/10/12 at 3:33pmThe trailer looks really good. Hope the movie holds up. With both Hopkins and Mirren, at least you know the acting will be excellent.

Posted: 10/10/12 at 3:43pmI didn't realize the director was the guy who did the excellent documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil! This actually could be a good fit...

There's just something that seems less than thrilling about the narrative in this trailer.
We all know "Psycho" was a smash hit and is one of the all-time classics of the genre.
The trick would be to make us feel and understand what was at stake getting it made in that era. I'm just not feeling "the gamble" in this trailer. It's stagey, and orderly, and nobody is really sweating over it. They just seem to be telling us what happened with occasionally raised voices.
A rich, famous director mortgages his house to fund the production of an unorthodox film. The movie becomes a big hit and a classic.
I was reminded of "1776," of all things, while I watched this. Even if we all know how that story turns out, the creative team involved still managed to make it a nail-biter.
Hopefully, the movie builds the tension and sequence of events better than the trailer does.
I think I was hoping they would just use this storyline as a framework to tell Hitchcock's entire life story, with many flashbacks (childhood, Europe, early films, Hollywood, etc.) all leading up to this moment. That may very well be in the movie, but it's not in the trailer. And alone, I don't feel this story is compelling enough.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 11:08amIs this going to be anything but a hatchet job on Hitchcock? A sort of "we can't rise to his level so we'll drag him down to ours" kind of thing.

I wonder if they will include any behind-the-scenes disagreement related to his "no one can enter the movie if they are late" rule.
Psycho is one of my top 3 movies, so I am ready for this to open today.

I, for one, was pleasantly surprised by the trailer. Looks really fun and much lighter than I would've expected. Hopkins, Mirren and Johannson all look and sound fantastic.
The studio bumped up the film's release to mid-November-- a clear sign that they see this movie as having some major awards potential.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 1:45pmRoscoe, if the movie reflects its source--the good non fiction read Hitchcock And the Making of Psycho, it won't be a hatchet job at all, and will aknowledge his huge talent. If you're worried about that, I'd worry more about The Girl, the telefilm about him and Tippi on HBO this month.

It's only the first trailer. They should release at least one more before November.
Then I remember it's already October. Sheesh!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
#18Trailer for Hitchcock
Posted: 10/11/12 at 4:48pmHa! It's telling that I actually saw the Psycho remake in theatres, and I remember NOTHING about it except that I found some of the casting odd, and that Anne Heche had earbuds in at one scene (well in general I found the attempts to slightly update some elements--the amount of money being another--made the fact that it was a shot for shot remake and so seemed fairly tame by modern standards work even less well).
#19Trailer for Hitchcock
Posted: 10/11/12 at 5:13pmIt was actually Julianne Moore with the headphones...she had a walkman. Not that it matters but it's one of the only things I remember about the remake too. That and the cuts to a cow during the shower the scene.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 8:14pmAll I remember about the remake was Vaughn jacking off while peeping through the peephole. Modern touch.

Posted: 10/11/12 at 8:18pmThat one masturbation scene ruined the remake for me, although I never understood why the remake needed to be made. The audience needs to notice and take to heart Norman's childlike innocence for the twist to be the most effective.

Ha, I guess I remembered it even less than I thought I did--I just remembered the headphones. I do remember, now how horribly out of place (and obvious) the masturbation bit was.
But it all is very odd--if Gus made the film, as I believe he claimed, as sorta an experiment--to replicate the original with modern cameras, etc, then why add just a few random "updates"? (Of course, the real question is why bother anyway, but given his explanation it seems even more strange).

Posted: 10/11/12 at 8:41pmHas anyone read the original book? I know Hitch changed some things, like Norman's general physical appearance.
#24Trailer for Hitchcock
Posted: 10/11/12 at 11:24pmSpeaking of Norman, I find it interesting there was just one shot of James D'Arcy (in a scene with ScarJo as Janet Leigh taking direction from Hitch) as Anthony Perkins in the trailer.
