Toby Jones As Alfred Hitchcock In Teaser For ‘The Girl’

You have to feel for Toby Jones. The guy keeps getting incredible roles and giving amazing performances, but it always seems as though a bigger name star is out to trump him. So when he starred as Truman Capote in INFAMOUS (2006), Philip Seymour Hoffman was getting Oscars for the same role in CAPOTE (2005). Well, this time Toby Jones is going to be first off the starting line as Alfred Hitchcock, with Anthony Hopkins trailing behind in a release not scheduled until next year.

THE GIRL is an HBO film that will premiere on the channel 20th October. Toby Jones plays directing legend Alfred Hitchcock, during the shooting of THE BIRDS (1963). Whereas Hopkins’ HITCHCOCK focuses on the filming of PSYCHO (1960). Jones has Hitchcock’s voice down perfectly and this is one film I do not want to miss. It’s even got me wanting to revisit THE BIRDS for the 100th time.
