As a lifetime Hitchcock fan/geek i'm really looking forward to the adaptation of the factual book by Stephen Rebello.
The cast sounds top-notch and this photo of Anthony Hopkins as Hitch is amazing:

It's a superb book, and as a Hitchcock nut I can't wait for this either. I read a great little article about Psycho (I think it was in an old copy of Films and Filming magazine). Apparently Hitchcock called Psycho his "little joke" without actually referring to what that meant. The article suggested that the joke might be that although the film is set in the days running up to Christmas (I think the timescale from the on-sceen date is about 10th-18th December), Christmas is never referred to once in the movie - you never see a Christmas tree or any reference to the festive season throughout. If this is what Hitch meant, Psycho really is one of the bleakest Christmas movies ever made.
It is a brilliant book.
Funnily enough i always used to think how sad it was that Marion was murdered before Christmas
The other Hitchcock film is a tv film (BBC i think) with Toby Jones and Sienna Miller. I believe that's based around his penchant for leading ladies - mostly blondes.
I'm sure it will be good but it's the Psycho aspect that draws me to the Hopkins film.
The casting of ex-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio as screenwriter Joseph Stefano is very intriguing.

Looks good, shame UK audiences get it 3 months after the US.
Looks great, can't wait to see the era and sets recreated.

more commercial suicide, film companied bleat on about piracy killing the industry, then do sill things like this.
Some films are coming out 9 months later!!! here.
But this is unlikely to be on Blu/DVD in the US before its cinema release in the UK so there won't be that much of a piracy issue.
Anyways, not everyone illegaly downloads stuff.
I for one will be waiting to see this on the big screen.
