New 'Hitchcock' Poster Released

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Like any sound-minded cinema fan, I’m keenly interested in Hitchcock. It seems to be avoiding the worst inclinations of a biopic by focusing on one part of its subject’s life, rather than trying to encapsulate all of them. In this case, it covers Alfred Hitchcock’s life during the making of Psycho, and is based on Stephen Rebello’s… Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. Now, THR has a new poster for the film, which spotlights Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as his wife, Alma Reville. Reville’s name isn’t nearly as well-known as her husband’s, but she was a brilliant film editor, and instrumental in his career.  The trailer for the film, released several weeks ago, suggests that it’s giving Reville her proper due. That trailer is also the main reason I’m excited for the movie, as it looks like terrific fun. Anyway, “Behind every Psycho is a great woman,” isn’t the best tagline, but it’s far, far from the worst.

Hitchcock will be released November 23rd.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
