If the great Alfred Hitchcock were not so rotund he would probably be rolling in his grave. Vanity Fair, in their annual Hollywood Issue decided to recreate the auteur’s most iconic images, replacing his rolodex of Hollywood’s Golden Age with the current flings of the month (this month being the Oscars).
Whilst the ambitious project has some flavourful touches, for instance a chiselled Javier Bardem that makes one wish Jimmy Stewart’s character in Rear Window was Latino, as well as La Vie en Rose’s Marion Cotillard being Psycho stabbed in the shower (which is also happens to be a current flavour of the month), the recreation also destroys some classics: that's right, Seth Rogen’s beer-belly tripping over itself whilst being chased by a swooping bi-plane in North By Northwest.
Correction. Carry Grant is rolling in the grave.
