Vanity Fair Recreates Hitchcock Scenes

Tuesday February 12, 2008

I'm going to have to break down and buy Vanity Fair's much-discussed 2008 Hollywood portfolio in the March edition. It has these fantastic recreations of scenes from Hitchcock movies, using the A-list celebs of today.

Frankly, it's unfair to ask even a radiant beauity like Scarlett Johanson to step into the late, luminous Grace Kelly's heels, but this shot is nevertheless a great homage to Rear Window. And Javier Bardem is fairly easy on the eyes in the Jimmy Stewart role.

Check out more of these shots at the great movie-lover's site, Cinematical. I especially love Seth Rogen in North by Northwest (tee-hee, regular 'ol Seth as the ultra-suave Cary Grant) and Jodie Foster standing in for Tippi Hedren in The Birds.
