Anthony Hopkins Might be Alfred Hitchcock

Sir Anthony Hopkins might just play the Master of Suspense and Thrillers Alfred Hitchcock in the adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho.

Sacha Gervasi is attached to direct the film with Paramount Pictures producing.

The films "tracks how Hitchcock, at the height of his game as a director, decided to make a 'lowly' horror movie. No studio wanted to touch it initially so Hitchcock scrounged for financing by himself." I like Hitchcock even more for doing something like that.

The film will mostly revolve around the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife Alma.

The film is getting closer to getting Hopkins on-board, but its still not official, yet. It takes a man like Hopkins to play a director in a film about behind the cameras.

New Thor Movie Still

Last week L.A. Times released a pic from Thor. Now they have released another movie still from the upcoming comic-book film Thor The still shows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) kneeling infront of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Odin's wife Frigga (Rene Russo), who raised Thor has if he were her own child. On the right is Hogun (Tadanobu Asano) and Fandral (Josh Dallas), two of the members of the "The Warrior's Three", Thor's comrades and best friends. The scene looks pretty epic to say the least.

Director Kenneth Branagh is staying true to the comics because Odin's throne is the hilt of the Sword of Doom. So, it's save to say that Branagh did his homework and might make a Marvel movie to rival the awesomeness of Iron Man.

Thor hits theaters in 2D and 3D on May 6, 2011.

Cool New Thor Pic

LA Times has released a new image for Marvel's upcoming Thor. The image shows Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

In other Thor news, Hero Complex has revealed information that will anger some movie fanatics and will make average movie-goers happy. The news is Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America will be released in 3D. I would be okay with it if they were filmed in 3D and not "converted". 

The Directors of Thor (Kenneth Branagh) and Captain America (Joe Johnston) are a little hesitant about using 3D, but they believe they could make it work, unlike Clash of the Titans and The Last Airbender. 

So I can't wait to see how they will look when they come out.

 Thor hits theaters on May 16, 2011 and Captain America hits on July 22, 2011.

He said " I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a flaming skull for a head, but its a bit more stripped down and darker," he also said "It's definitely changing tone. What "Casino Royale" was for the Bond movies. Hopefully this will be to Ghost Rider."
