Late last year we learned that Toby Jones had been tapped to play Alfred Hitchcock in a BBC2 film focusing on the director’s “obsessive relationship” with The Birds actress Tippi Hedren, and today the first image of Jones and Sienna Miller as Hedren has gone online. Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane) is directing The Girl with Hitchcok biographer Donald Spoto onboard to ensure the film’s accuracy. Hedren has also been in contact with Jarrold and the production, though she recently expressed some concern:
“If I have one reservation about the film it is that I worry they will not portray me as as strong a character as I was – and still am. I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr. Hitchcock.”
Jones and Miller look fairly excellent as Hitchcock and Hedren, and I’m eager to see the two in action. This isn’t the only film about Hitchcock in the works, as Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho is headed towards production with Anthony Hopkins taking on Hitch. Hit the jump to check out the image of Jones and Miller.

Yeah… he just looks nothing like Hitchcock… I mean, fantastic actor, but he really does NOT look like Hitchcock. More like Truman Capote, really.
lmao his face is too small on his large head
Toby Jones face doesn’t looks right.
Toby Jones does have an odd face, there’s no denying that. But what truly matters is the acting, and I’m sure he’ll nail it.
Man, Tippi Hedren was gorgeous back in the day.
Why all those comments on Toby Jone’s face? He is a an actor with proven quality, as in his role of Truman Capote, and he’ll probably be just as great.
Poor Toby Jones…First Capote now this
why……just why………
Why……..just why……….
Capote big time!!!
Following the comment of ‘Fargo’: Absolutely. Toby Jones is such a great actor, and I believe that he definitely be as superb as in all of his exquisite performancesfrom “Infamous” as Capote and “The Painted Veil” to “Frost/Nixon” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” to name indicatively just a few of them. The stupid comments about his face are just rubbish.
