As the fabulous Michael K. pointed out yesterday on Dlisted: "Renee Zellweger is actually opening her eyes" Who knew ol' Ham Face had eyes? I just thought they were those little spices you stuck in there..
Seth Rogen as Cary Grant? Cute.
But the clothes aren't right in some of the pictures. They're like cheap knock-offs. And Mrs. Danvers is way too glamourous.
Nice tribute to Hitch though.
JJL as Mrs. Danvers is inspired. ScarJo as Grace Kelly? Not so much.
And couldn't they have come up with someone saucier for the Tallulah Bankhead role in Lifeboat? Eva Marie Saint is lovely, but the fact that she actually worked with Hitchcock should disqualify her from this exercise. What about Angelina Jolie? Cate Blanchett? Anyone?
That photo of Renee Zellweger is SUPER-unflattering--she's starting to look like Bette Davis (old Bette Davis).
Jodie Foster for The Birds was a horrible choice. Naomi Watts would have been better there and Jodie could take the Tallulah Bankhead role.
Any chance we'll get a movie about Serge the Hurricane Killer soon?
That would be fun, something like the Hurricane Punch book ...
But I agree, as a former Seattleite (from Down Under, mate), Naomi Watts would have been better, even if Jodie is the better actor. Casting is an art, not a science.
Seth Rogan is so hot, bouncing fat included.
The link for The Birds is wrong.
Whoops, fixed.
Renee Zellweger looks ancient in that photo. Definitely not flattering. I like the others though, particularly Strangers on a Train.
I actually like the Renee Zellweger one -- she looks like a movie star, at least. The rest of these people look like dwarves. Rogen is a wonderful actor, but he's about as far from Cary Grant as you could possibly get -- I like what he's done with his hair, though.
As photography they inadvertently reveal a devastating lack of art compared to Hitchcock and Robert Burks. These are mediocre fashion shots, not genius.
This was an interesting idea, but I don't think it was executed very well. A victim of bad casting and uninspired photography. The composition in the Rear Window and Rebecca photos is atrocious; the photographer managed to make both Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightly unattractive and unappealing. And the Lifeboat picture, doesn't make any sense; lets stick a bunch of actors in a boat and take a picture...The cast photo for the Soprano's a few years ago, did a similar boat theme, which was a thousand times better than this.
Can someone explain the ScarJo hate to me? Is this a hipster thing?
I like Seth Rogen fine, but having him take the place of Cary Grant? Gross and insulting. The closest thing to Grant today is Clooney, and even he doesn't measure up.
Seth Rogen is hotter than Cary Grant.
George Clooney is hotter than Seth Rogen.
I think Seth Rogan is hotter than Cary Grant and George Clooney in the sense that having sex with him wouldn't seem wrong. George Clooney and Cary Grant are almost too handsome to be "hot."
Cary Grant is hotter than all of the working actors today put together. Cary Grant had a VOICE, too, unlike any of these whippersnappers. AND he knew how to wear a suit, unlike any of these whippersnappers.
Cary Grant: the male fuckmate of choice for men who prefer women.
Seth Rogen: the male fuckmate of choice for men who prefer (big, funky-looking) men.
(As for the female fuckmate of choice for men who prefer men: Julianne Moore, obviously.)
Man, you are REALLY stretching my tolerance for teh gayz with this Cary Grant hate.
Rock Hudson, then?
Yes, Fnarf, I don't know what it is about Cary Grant. He's like a Teflon muppet of a handsome man.
I'd take your beloved Gene Kelly over your beloved Cary Grant any day...
HELL NO on Seth Rogen. He's a slimeball and not that cute. He always talks in that made-up-for-Hollywood voice that makes him sound like Fozzie Bear. He reminds me of a sixth-grader doing play-by-play of his classmates playing dodgeball or someshit. NOT HOT. JONAH HILL = TRUE HOT.
