Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of ‘Psycho’, the story of how Hollywood’s legendary master of suspense made one of the seminal horror films of all time, has begun production, according to a new announcement from Fox Searchlight Pictures and Montecito Pictures.

The film — starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Helen Mirren — also has a new, one word title. It will simply be called Hitchcock. If you hadn’t noticed already, Hollywood has a current preference for one-word titles. This one happens to work for us.

The film will be directed by first-time helmer, Sacha Gervasi. Production will begin in Los Angeles on Friday.

Gervasi co-wrote Steven Spielberg’s 2004 film The Terminal and also won the Best Documentary award at the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards for Anvil! The Story of Anvil.

I’ve always thought that, purely as a title, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho simply lacks brevity. You know what you’re getting with the film — the story of how Alfred Hitchcock made Psycho and, more than likely, how it affected his own life — but that doesn’t mean Scorsese should have made His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and the Hard Times in Tibet, either.

So it’s a smart move on Fox Searchlight’s part to have shortened the name down to Hitchcock, one that gets something across and, at the same time, doesn’t take up so much marquee space. More interesting, though, is the apparent shift in narrative content. The film’s source material, a book of the same name by Stephen Rebello, is often cited as one of the definitive accounts of Psycho‘s production — but, with a change in title, we now...

Sacha Gervasi's Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho has picked up a new title, and begun principal photography. The film will now simply be entitled "Hitchock", which is probably better since the previous title sounds more fitting for a documentary. Hitchcock is being billed as a love story between the legendary director (played by Anthony Hopkings) and his wife and partner Alma Reville (Helen Mirren). The movie also stars Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Toni Collette, Danny Huston, Michael Stuhlbarg, Kurtwood Smith, Wallace Langham, Richard Portnow, and Michael Wincott.

NBC has bought a single-camera ensemble comedy from blogger/Twitter personality Kelly Oxford. The untitled project, which Oxford will write, centers on a divorcing couple and the wife’s overbearing sister — who try to raise their families together after the sale of their house falls through. Friends alum Ira Ungerleider is supervising the project with Universal TV-based producers Karey Burke and Todd Holland. The project, produced by Universal TV, originated as an idea by Philadelphia Eagles co-owner Christina Weiss Lurie, producer of the 2010 feature documentary Inside Job, and her partners Alan Barnette and Richard Gelb. A search for a write was launched, resulting in the hire of Oxford, a Calgary blogger and stay-at-home mother of three whose snarky, straight-up observational tweets have garnered more than 266,000 followers, including Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel and Roger Ebert. Oxford has pilot experience — last season she had a family comedy in development at CBS...
