Renee Zellweger, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr. and Oscar nominee Javier Bardem are among the stars recreating classic scenes from Alfred Hitchcock movies in a new Vanity Fair magazine spread.
CLICK HERE to check them all out. They’re amazing!!!
Zellweger imitates Kim Novak in Vertigo, Gwyneth plays Grace Kelly to Downey Jr.’s Cary Grant in To Catch A Thief and Bardem teams up with Scarlett Johansson to recreate a scene from Rear Window.
The inspired spread also features Jodie Foster, Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Keira Knightley and Jennifer Jason Leigh recalling classic scenes from The Birds, Dial M For Murder, Psycho, Marnie and Rebecca.
But perhaps the most eye-catching snapshot is that of chubby funnyman Seth Rogen running from a plane - just like Cary Grant did in Hitchcock’s North By Northwest.
Enjoy!

How did that FAT FUCK Seth Rogen get in this? Oh yeah it’s Hollywood and you know what that means!!!

I love Seth Rogan, jealous much?

Worst choice for a Cary Grant stand in, SETH ROGAN!!!
wtf????
Weakest link in the piece, Seth Rogan is a poop stain in an otherwise marvelous tribute

Seth is definitely the odd lump out.
And what’s will Renee Z? She looks nothing like her usually puck-faced self. Bravo!

Renee doesn’t quite pull it off as Kim Novak (Renee looks. . . elderly) and Jodi’s got some weird tight mouth thing that distracts. . . but really pretty cool overall. (Seth Rogan. . .um, ok.) Jude Law would make a good Cary Grant. I would have loved to see “Rope.”

I really love these pics. Seth Rogan was a random-ass choice and clearly doesn’t fit.

unnecessary and dull photos : watch the originals if you like the film

Obviously the photos are not “necessary” but they are not meant to be some kind of equivalent to the films. Staging famous movies scenes in a photo spread ain’t exactly a novel concept, but it can be some cheap, yummy candy. This example is a’ight.

I would like to know how the photos were made with the birds, because I heard that they have been “thrown”.

[...] but last year’s noir-centric longest issue ever still makes a semi-regular read for me. Faded Youth Blog has been kind enough to share with us some scans of the Hitchcock inspired photos! Dial M for [...]

I didn’t know it was possible to over-act in a still photo, but Ben Foster is doing just that.

it’s cool that Eva Marie Saint is in the lifeboat, she was the star in north by north west.
