Hot on the heels of the news that Alfred Hitchcock’s only Best Picture Oscar winning classic Rebecca is being remade at Dreamworks and Working Title Films, comes news of another of The Master of Suspense’s back catalogue getting the redo treatment.

Variety says Paramount are looking to remake “Suspicion”, the 1941 thriller that centered on a shabby young woman (played by Joan Fontaine) who married a handsome charmer (played by Cary Grant) despite her rich father’s disapproval, before then suspecting her new hubbie has plans to murder her. The quintessential Hitchcock plot, no?

Veena Sud, showrunner and executive producer of AMC’s The Killing has been tapped to re-adapt the original film, which was based on Francis Iles’s 1932 novel ‘Before the Fact’ but clearly it will be Hitch’s film that the new film will mostly be taken from.

If you have never seen it “Suspicion” is a cracking thriller, winning Fontaine a Best Actress Oscar for her performance and featuring Grant in a rare role as the villain of the piece.

As for potential re-casting? Clearly Hugh Jackman is an obvious choice for the husband, but re-casting the female part ain’t so easy.

Montecito Pictures are producing, the shingle also in pre-production on “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho”, a thriller based on Stephen Rebello’s book and which has Anthony Hopkins attached to star as Hitch. That movie is setup at Fox Searchlight.

希區(qū)柯克或許成為好萊塢翻拍風(fēng)潮的又一個(gè)新金庫(kù)，繼上周夢(mèng)工廠宣布翻拍《蝴蝶夢(mèng)》（1940）之后，日前，派拉蒙也表示將重拍1941年的《深閨疑云》，并確定由美劇《謀殺》的女制片人維娜·蘇德編劇、執(zhí)導(dǎo)。

1941版《深閨疑云》根據(jù)Francis Illes發(fā)表于1932年的小說《真相大白之前》（Before the Fact）改編，由瓊·芳登和加里·格蘭特主演。講述了一位擁有巨額財(cái)產(chǎn)的千金小姐發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的丈夫試圖殺害她謀取財(cái)產(chǎn)的故事。影片令瓊·芳登摘獲了第14屆奧斯卡影后。本片在1987年曾被翻拍為電視版。

早在2010年3月，曾有消息稱威爾·史密斯有望主演翻拍版《深閨疑云》并擔(dān)任制片人，但此后這個(gè)項(xiàng)目卻沒有任何進(jìn)展。照目前的情況看來(lái)，派拉蒙籌拍的這部《深閨疑云》跟威爾·史密斯沒有任何關(guān)系。
