You’re telling me Peter Parker is ...... Spider-man!?

If he can do the voice it'll be alright, but otherwise that looks nothing like Hitchcock. Not that that really matters, but they haven't tried to sell the film based on anything else yet.

His Nixon looked nothing like him and he did a really good job. It all depends if Anthony Hopkins gives a poo poo, or if he is just doing it for a castle.

HBO is also making a Hitchcock movie, although they're just focusing on the filming of The Birds and how Hitchcock basically tortured Tippi Hedren while filming it. Here's what Toby Jones looks like as Hitchcock:


Edit: Also the trailer

At least he still looks something like himself instead of the bizarre creature that is Hopcock.

Honestly, I'm more interested in Toby Jones playing Hitchcock (presumably standing on a box) than I am in Hopkins doing the same.

It's based on a three-part article in the Miami New Times:

It's a pretty incredible story. The script is apparently a black comedy.

Sort of. It's a way to look at it.

It's about video game characters doing their jobs, following a classic arcade villain who's sick of being the bad guy and so escapes his game (I was going to compare the setting to Reboot, but then I remembered it doesn't actually resemble Reboot at all). All the Sega, Capcom, Nintendo etc. characters are cameos from what I know, the main characters are all original but clearly based on games and genres that exist.

I think it really adds to the movie; they could've made all of these background characters Monsters Inc. style completely original characters they just go nuts designing, they could have gone for 'generic but c'mon that's obviously Sonic' characters, and technically that would have worked. But they're going the extra mile, getting full rights to these characters and being as accurate to their game as possible. Does it technically make the movie better by adding Altered Beast characters in walk-on roles? No, but it makes us appreciate the movie a lot more.

I guess there has to be one thing I just can't help, Lois.
If Ghost Dad came out today, it would a) be an instant internet classic because its name is fantastic (just say it out loud. GHOST DAD) and b) it would still be a flop, because see a).

While I thought Cedar Rapids was a funny movie and Ed Helms was a big part of that, the main character would have made a lot more sense with a younger actor.
