Vanity Fair recreates Hitchcock’s iconic scenes

I found out about this a month ago, but I just happened to get a copy of Vanity Fair’s January 2008 issue today featuring a fantastic photo series recreating iconic scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous classics, all with today’s hottest stars.

There’s a video online of some of the behind-the-scenes of photographer Norman Jean Roy’s shoots. And you can read the article about the project and the ridiculous extent they went in recreating some of the scenes.

It’s all just fascinating, and seems aptly appropriate the day after the Oscars.
