In the March issue, “Vanity Fair” has captured a montage of famous Hitchcock moments. According to V.F., in order to capture the details of the classic Hitchcock scenes, the photographer and beauty editor had to go through a lot to find the exact props like a phone boot from 60s or Carry Grant’s old suit. In this project, the hottest Hollywood actors participated, which include: Casey Affleck, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Foster, Jodie Foster, Emile Hirsch, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James McAvoy, Omar Metwally, Gwyneth Paltrow, Seth Rogen, Eva Marie Saint, Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, Tang Wei, and Renée Zellweger.

 For movie fans, this is a very interesting event. Watching famous contemporary actors in the memories of Hitchcock, one of the greatest American directors is a fun and new experience. It also gives us a chance to find the actors’ different, more classical aspects. For example, Seth Rogan, a famous comedy actor from “Knocked Up”, fits well in the scene of “North by Northwest,” which gives him potentials to star in various genre films in the future.

Even for Oscar winning actors, this event could be a memorable experience for their career. According to V.F., the stars didn’t just model but tried to engage in the character like a real acting. The photographer described the shooting with Renee Zellweger as, “When she came on set she started breathing really hard, almost hyperventilating. She just absolutely exploded on the set and truly became that character like I’ve never seen before.” Even for such stars, this could be a deep experience to be the characters they have admired in classic movies.
