Ralph Macchio Cast in HITCHCOCK AND THE MAKING OF PSYCHO

Movie Psycho by Joey Paur

Ralph Macchio has joined theSacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil)directed film Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. Yes, this is the same Ralph Macchio from the classic Karate Kid movies. He will play Joe Stefano in the film, who was the screenwriter of Hitchcock's classic horror film. 

He'll join the previously cast Scarlett Johansson, who will play Janet Leigh, who was famously stabbed to death in the shower in the film. James D'Arcy was cast in the role of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates. Anthony Hopkins is playing Hitchcock, Helen Mirren plays his wife, and Jessica Biel is playing Vera Miles.

The movie is based on Stephen Rebello's non-fiction book, which tells the true story of Hitchcock's attempts to finance Psycho. The story focuses on the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife.

It's so cool to see Macchio landing a solid role in such a high profile film like this. I'm sure he'll end up doing a fine job. He recently completed a role in film called Happily Divorced.
