Hollywood Elsewhere is spreading the hot rumor that the "Running with Scissors" director Ryan Murphy will next be directing "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", a film about the massive obstacles Hitch had to navigate to make his classic thriller "Psycho."
When making "Psycho", Hitch had on his hands a script was viewed by the studio as too perverse and violent.
H.E. is reporting that actor Anthony Hopkins is already a strong candidate to be starring as Hitchcock, and that Helen Mirren may be cast as his wife and collaborator Alma Reville.
Universal will be the distributor.

thanks for the news. i read somewhere else that 'alfred hitchcock presents' isn't the real title but i think it would be cool if they give it a one word title in honor of hitchcock's movies like psycho, notorious, rope, blackmail, murder, marnie, frenzy, spellbound, etc.

I heard yesterday that because of the new script version, this project is on the fast track and that the production company has signed an interim agreement with the WGA. Fantastic news!
