"Winner of the Oscar for best picture in 1941, Rebecca was director Alfred Hitchcock’s first Hollywood film. It also continued producer David O. Selznick’s amazing hot streak, coming on the heels of his Oscar win for Gone with the Wind in 1940. The two films cemented Selznick’s reputation as the world’s leading purveyor of gothic chick flicks, while Rebecca proved that Hitchcock, already considered Britain’s top director, could function just fine on American soil."

In a season full of remakes that either rehash or rip apart the originals, it is comforting to know that a few students of Hollywood greats still exist and are willing to pay proper homage to their mentors. Enter David Ondaatje who has announced a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Lodger, a tense psychological jaunt through the eyes of two main characters; a hardened police detective who must solve ghastly murders that he is considered a suspect in, and a paranoid landlady who is convinced her new lodger is the killer.

Matt Lucas (Shaun of the Dead, star of British series Little Britain) is set to portray Alfred Hitchcock in a biopic about the legendary director’s early years, with Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge!) set to co-star.
