Updating Hitchcock.

No not the Gus van Sant shot for shot recreation of Psycho, which still perplexes me to this day.

Vanity Fair recently put (current issue maybe?) a photo series of iconic Hitchcock scenes using modern day actors and actresses.

Seth Rogan in North by Northwest

Jodi Foster in The Birds

Charlize Theron in Dial M for Murder
