As you may have heard, Vanity Fair’s upcoming Movie/Oscar issue will contain a homagistic photo portfolio to the films of Alfred Hitchock. Our favorites – a combination of the best execution and our fave Hitch films are below. They include Marion Collitard (“La Vie En Rose”) portraying Janet Leigh’s famous shower scene in “Psycho,” Charlize Theron about to get strangled in “Dial M For Murder,” James McAvoy and Emile Hirsch as the respective psychotic con man and sap of “Strangers On a Train,” and Seth Rogen as a stand-in for Carey Grant during an iconic moment of “North By Northwest.”
We included the original photo context within VF’s photos just cause (except for the Cotillard one cause it speaks for itself and you never want to cover up her body). For more photos, check out Oh No They Didn’t!, the livejournal bloggers thingy. VF also has some behind the scene video of the photo shoots.
