The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #8: Psycho (the 1960 original)

Time to throw in another classic here. The original “Psycho”, directed by the late and great, Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. It’s another one of my favorites. Not only the classic shower scene made it great, the whole film is great. Everything about the film is perfect.

Btw, these films list are in no particular order, I’m just going by the days up until Halloween. So I’m just picking my favorite films at random.

Report: Scarlett Johansson to play Janet Leigh in “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho”…

This is not exactly a “Psycho” remake. What this is, it’s a biopic film of Alfred Hitchcock making the movie, “Psycho”. Scarlett Johansson has been signed to play Janet Leigh, where she’ll be doing her version of the legendary shower scene in the film. James D’ Arcy will play, Anthony Perkins, the actor who played, Norman Bates.

More on the story, here.

I wonder who they’re gonna get for Alfred Hitchcock? Phillip Seymour Hoffman, maybe?

Honestly, I’m kind of skeptical of this project. I love the Psycho movies. “Psycho” was already remade in “1998”, that starred Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche. We don’t need another remake. This new film claims it’s a “biopic”, but it still feels like a remake to me.

Maybe the trailer will prove us wrong so we’ll have to wait and see.
