Alfred Hitchcock gets the documentary treatment with the upcoming My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock, and Deadline reports that Cohen Media Group has acquired North American rights.
Deadline details, “The film premiered at Telluride and examines the Psycho and Vertigo director’s vast body of work, exploring his techniques, themes and obsessions.”
Directed by Mark Cousins, the doc will release in theaters later this year.
Deadline further previews the upcoming documentary feature, “Cousins, who utilizes actor and impressionist Alistair McGowan to portray Hitch in voiceover, connects the stylistic dots running through the director’s 50-plus films, from revered classics like North by Northwest, Psycho and Rear Window to less frequently discussed but intriguing works such as The Paradine Case, Sabotage and more, stretching all the way back to his silent films.”
Cousins said in a statement, “Alfred Hitchcock psychoanalyzed the 20th Century. He attracted us with the beauty of Ingrid Bergman and the glamour of Cary Grant then, when he had us entranced, he found our fears, our secrets, our weaknesses. In this film I’ve tried to find a new way of showing how he did this, how his imagination worked. Hitchcock’s life ended long ago, but did his themes? I’m delighted to be working again with Cohen Media.”
