Daniel-san crane kicks his way onto "The Making of Psycho"

I haven't probably given as much attention to this movie as maybe I should have, but with this announcement I just can't hold back anymore.
Hollywood has begun filming Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, a film which, as the title would suggest, delves into the sometimes complicated production of the mother of all psychological thrillers. Jessica Biel, Helen Mirren, James D'Arcy, Scarlett Johansson, and Anthony Hopkins (as Mr. Hitchcock himself*) are all part of the current cast. And now there is another.
"Deadline" reports that the Karate Kid himself, Mr Ralph Macchio, will be joining the cast as screenwriter Joseph Stefano. According to reports there was an extreme amount of bad blood between Stefano and Hitchcock so I guess that means we are going to have some high tension scenes between Hopkins and Macchio. Wow. I never thought I'd write that sentence.
It's nice to see Macchio get a meaty role. I've always thought he became a little type cast after The Karate Kid which is a shame because he's actually a good actor. (The Outsiders? Hello?) Just goes to show what being on "Dancing on the Stars" can lead to.
