The Karate Kid’s Macchio Joins Hitchcock Biopic

He’s been quiet of late, well actually nearly two decades quiet, but THE KARATE KID and MY COUSIN VINNY star Ralph Macchio has joined the cast of film-within-a-film biopic ALFRED HITCHCOCK & THE MAKING OF PSYCHO. The actor will appear as PSYCHO screenwriter Joseph Stefano, opposite Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and James D’Arcy.

The film will chronicle the turbulent efforts of getting Hitchcock’s suspense-filled masterpiece on to the big-screen. Sacha Gervasi will direct, with Oscar-winning legend Hopkins as the iconic filmmaker, Mirren as put-upon wife Alma and Johansson, Biel and D’Arcy and the movies stars Janet Leigh, Vera Miles and Anthony Perkins respectively.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
