There's the first photo (via) of Toby Jones and Sienna Miller as Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren in The Girl, which is about Hitch's strained relationship with Tippi during The Birds and all of the juiciness therein. Here's the original picture that they're riffing on:
This is not to be confused with the other movie called Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho (terrible title) that's got Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hitch (not to mention Dame Helen Mirren as Alma Hitchcock).
The Girl is a BBC Two production so it's probably going to be considered less prestigious than the big movie star version, but if you ask me it's got its hands on the better story from Hitch's life - it's the stuff on the set of the The Birds where things really spilled over. Also they've apparently gotten Tippi to talk to them, which is a bit of a coup - will she spill what happened inside her trailer that infamous time at last? Dare to dream. Oh and Imelda Staunton is playing Alma in this one and she's much better casting than Dame Tits-a-lot.
Also in the news today is that Jessica Biel has been cast as Vera Miles in the ScarJo movie, which, ugh. No. Vera Miles was, last time I checked, a woman, not a linebacker.
