Grab Onto Something, This ’78/52′ Poster is Awesome [Exclusive]
The documentary’s title refers to the number of setups (78) and the number of cuts (52) in the notorious shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s horror masterpiece.
Rather than focusing on the film as a whole, Alexandre Philippe’s documentary 78/52 shines the spotlight on just one Psycho scene in particular. The stabbing death of a showering Marion Crane is one of the most iconic in the history of cinema, and the doc dives deep into its creation.
“The documentary explores the scene from multiple angles, focusing on its complicated technical aspects and its huge impact on the culture and the future of movies.”
Bloody Disgusting has the world exclusive poster premiere for this riveting doc that IFC Midnight will release in theaters, VOD, and on all digital platforms October 13, 2017.
78/52 features a lengthy list of interviewees, including Guillermo del Toro, Peter Bogdanovich, Elijah Wood, Bret Easton Ellis, Neil Marshall, Danny Elfman, Karyn Kusama, Apocalypse Now editor Walter Murch, Janet Leigh’s actress daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, and Anthony Perkins’ filmmaker son, Osgood Perkins.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
