A Modern Film About the Making of a Classic Film…A New Trend?
They used to be called documentaries, and they used to star the actual actors and directors involved in the original film, but it seems the success of My Week With Marilyn, about the making of The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Marilyn Monroe/Laurence Olivier has started a Hollywood trend.
Forget the remakes, make a film about “the making of a film”. Hitchcock’s Psycho is next to get the A-list treatment, with Scarlett Johansson playing “the blonde victim,” Janet Leigh, James D’Arcy (do I know him?!) as the spine-chilling, “Norman Bates,” and Anthony Hopkins as the master himself, “Alfred Hitchcock”. Helen Mirren has already signed on to play Hitchcock’s wife, “Alma”.
And, going by the information presented in the below article, this idea isn’t going anywhere fast…yep, that’s right, there are other films just like it in the works!

Be sure to watch the original teaser trailer below. Alfred Hitchcock gives an onset tour of the Psycho set…as only he could.

Tracing the Footsteps of Classic Film Locations
When I was living in Brooklyn, NY, one of the really great treasure hunts was retracing the steps of some of the locations that were clearly visible in many of the Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle shorts that were so popular in our family. The “then and now” aspect of certain streets and buildings, many of which are still standing, made for an exciting afternoon.
Below is an article that names many of Hollywood’s famous filming locations from the good old days!

How Far is Too Far???
Well, The National Enquirer have snared the Holy Grail of Whitney Houston photos – her very last…lying in her casket! And of course it made the front cover of the latest issue. Not surprisingly, it’s caused a storm of controversy.
The photo was taken at her “private viewing,” so it was either taken by a friend, family member…or funeral home associate. To think that someone may have been invited to the private viewing because they were a trusted member of Houston’s inner circle and then turned around to profit from the moment, well, that’s pretty horrendous.
How far is too far? – THAT’S too far!
As for The National Enquirer publishing the photo. Poor taste has nothing to do with it. It’s business. They’re in the business to sell magazines. It’s photos like Whitney’s last that sells magazines. Why? Because the public want to see those types of photos. They do. She’s not the first celebrity lying in his/her casket that we’ll see on the front cover…and she won’t be the last.
I can guarantee you that most people who scream bloody murder over the casket photo being published have still picked up the magazine to look at the photo with their own eyes, maybe even bought a copy. Yeah, it’s shocking. But so is the fact that Whitney Houston is dead and buried…the photo isn’t the problem, it’s the reality of it.
And, remember these shocking NE covers…
