Anthony Hopkins…Uhh, I mean Sir Anthony Hopkins better start chowing down on Whoppers and Big Macs left and right because it appears the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS star is set to take on the role of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock in a biopic about the filmmaker.
The film would center around a relatively short window of time in Hichcock’s life, around the time when he was making PSYCHO, but would not focus on the making of PSYCHO. Hopkins had this to say about the film: ” It’s about the making of ‘Psycho’ but it’s not about the making of ‘Psycho’ such, but how Hitchcock felt such a failure all his life. He felt such a loser all his life. And he had a very troubled relationship with everyone. A very complex man, a very private, quiet man. There are all rumors about his life and his relationship with his wife. I know nothing about the guy but this script is a good script.”
But like most films these days, the project has been succeptable to delays and setbacks, and his Lordship even commented on these shortcomings: ” I think we were supposed to be doing it in May but then they pulled the script back again because they had to check with the Hitchcock estate. And also they wanted to rewrite it again, I don’t know why. I hope they don’t rewrite it out of shape because it was pretty good when I read it.”
