HBO Films is teasing the Oct. 20 premiere of its Alfred Hitchcock/Tippi Hedren-based tele-pic The Girl with an intriguing behind-the-scenes clip that includes interviews with director Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane), star Sienna Miller and Hedren herself.
“The Girl” details Hitchcock’s dark and obsessive relationship with Tippi Hedren during the making of The Birds and Marnie. According to Hedren, an embittered and rejected Hitchcock ruined her career by keeping her under contract for two years, preventing her from working with other studios.
The Girl stars Sienna Miller (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra) as Hedren, Toby Jones (The Hunger Games) as Hitchcock, Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) as his wife Alma Hitchcock and Penelope Wilton (Shaun of the Dead) as his assistant Peggy Robertson.
Twenty-one nights of bone-chilling horror are set to roll in this weekend at the Santa Monica Place mall. The inaugural run of Deep Lifestyle Group’s Paranoia Haunted Attraction will pit ill-fated guests against killer clowns, escaped mental ward psychos and even a rabid granny or two.
The Halloween event, which runs throughout October on the top floor of the newly renovated Santa Monica Place mall, spreads over 50,000 square feet and features three terrifying mazes: “Insomniac Clown Playhouse,” “The Infirmary” and “Granny’s Manor of Mayhem.”
Limping among the dead at the haunt will be vendors selling treats and merchandise. A Paranoia Pub will also be set up to make sure spirits are conjured up all night. For dates and times and to purchase tickets, click here.
