Adding to actor Anthony Hopkins upcoming portrayal as film director 'Alfred Hitchcock', Sneak Peek actor Toby Jones as 'Hitch' and Sienna Miller as actress 'Tippi Hedren' in the upcoming BBC TV production , "The Girl".
Hedren, the female lead of Hitchcock's "The Birds", is the focal point of the 'harrowing drama' for BBC 2, focusing on the actress as "...the victim of a twisted and obsessive infatuation by Alfred Hitchcock".
"The Girl", written by Gwyneth Hughes, to be aired in 2012, conveys the infatuation the 62-year-old film director had for the 31-year-old actress, regarded as the last of the 'Hitchcock Blondes'.
Hitchcock made film stars out of blonde actresses Grace Kelly, Kim Novak and Eva Marie Saint, before casting unknown model Hedren in "The Birds" (1963), after spotting her in a TV commercial for a diet drink on NBC's "The Today Show" in 1962.
"...he soon became obsessed with her and began trying to control all aspects of her life, bombarding her with unwanted gifts and even forbidding her to share cars with male co-stars as he pursued the impossible dream of winning her love..."
Hedren went on to feature in Hitchcock's next film, "Marnie" (1964), co-starring actor Sean Connery, but refused any further work with the director, later saying she was unable to handle Hitchcock's sexual advances.
"Everyone knows Hitchcock was keen on his blondes," said writer Hughes, "Unfortunately for Tippi, he developed a twisted and obsessive love for her that left her feeling isolated and terrified. He made repeated sexual advances towards her and tried to take over her life."
Along with Jones, (the voice of 'Dobby', the 'house-elf', in the "Harry Potter" films), fellow "Harry Potter" cast member Imelda Staunton co-stars as Hitch's long-suffering wife.
The real Tippi Hedren, now 80-years old, is the mother of actress Melanie Griffith ("Body Double").
Sneak Peek an image of actor Anhtony Hopkins, made up to look like the late, great film director Alfred Hitchcock.
Hopkins stars in director Sasha Gervasi's Fox Searchlight feature "Alfred Hitchcock" based on the book by author Stephen Rebello. Published in 1990, the book details all aspects of the creation of Hitchcock's thriller "Psycho' released to theaters in 1960. From Hitchcock's acquisition of the original novel by author Robert Bloch to his work with screenwriters, casting, filming, editing, scoring, and promotion, the book takes readers into the day-to-day lives of moviemakers who believed they were making a modestly budgeted, black-and-white shocker that represented a radical departure from the elegant, suspenseful films that made Hitchcock's reputation.
Rebello researched Hitchcock's personal records and archives, interviewing most of the "Psycho" surviving cast and crew members.
Prior to the book's publication, Rebello's initial research appeared as a 22-page article in the April 1986 issue of "Cinefantastique" magazine titled "Psycho: The Making of Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece".
Cast of the film also includes Jessica Biel as actress 'Vera Miles', alongside Scarlett Johansson and James D'Arcy.

According to Synthia.Ca, new film sales company Meyers Media Group report they have picked up the international rights to director Zebediah De Soto's "Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D" from Simon West Productions.
West (director of "The Expendables 2") will produce alongside Jib Polhemus ("The Mechanic"), Gus Malliarodakis and Matty Mangone-Miranda.
Written by De Soto, David Reuben Schwartz and Warren Davis, the film is a 'motion capture re-imagining' of director George A. Romero's public domain black and white 1960's horror classic, "Night Of The Living Dead".
Cast of the new film includes Danielle Harris ("Halloween V"), Tom Sizemore ("Saving Private Ryan") and Tony Todd ("Candyman") :
"...New York lies in ruin when zombies have overtaken the city. For the few people left alive there is only one dream – survival. That includes 'Ben' (Todd) and Barbra (Harris), two survivors who find themselves trapped and fighting to escape the hordes of undead that walk the streets..."
Filmed entirely in a CG environment using stereoscopic 3D, the film employs the next generation facial capture technology, created with a new proprietary real-time effects system nicknamed "The Beast", allowing De Soto to shoot CG animations as though he were on a live set.
The film is being produced with the cooperation of The Graphic Film Company in association with Giant Studios ("The Adventures of Tintin", "Avatar").
