Watch out Dan Fogler, there's another guy itching to play Alfred Hitchcock in a film and while this one didn't make an appearance in "Balls of Fury," he does have a few fans out there. He scared the crap out of Clarice Starling and everyone else, so why not Anthony Hopkins as the master of suspense?
Reports earlier this year indicated that the Oscar winner might play Hitchcock in a film for "Running with Scissors" director Ryan Murphy and now Hopkins has confirmed the news to us. And not only that, but Hopkins went into great detail, describing the opening of the film (which will detail the making of "Psycho") and even giving us a peek at what his Hitchcock will sound like! Check it out below!
Are recent biopics so confusing they give you "Vertigo"? Think the true-to-life takes in films such as "Walk the Line" and "Ray" are for "The Birds"? Well, you'd have to be a real "Psycho" not to appreciate Dan Fogler's new take on Alfred Hitchcock, the star laughed -- umm, "North by Northwest."
Ok, we're done with the silly references -- but Fogler’s just getting started. The "Balls of Fury" star is set to headline a "Shakespeare in Love"-esque take on the man often called the greatest director of all-time, centering on the missing "Number 13," a film never completed and presumably lost to history.
Watch Fogler's hilarious take on how he's approaching the Hitch below, and then go read the skinny he gave us on the film's plot.

It's no secret that Billy Dee Williams loves the women, with him being the epitome of smooth and all. So it's also not surprising that on a visit to the set of "Fanboys," the upcoming "Star Wars"-flavored comedy, he knew exactly who to zero in on..."Veronica Mars" herself, Kristen Bell. But enough from us, we'll let Bell and her co-star Dan Fogler tell the hilarious story.
If you count yourself a fan of table tennis, then prepare for the newest sporting comedy to hit the silver screen.

Watch an exclusive featurette below and be dazzled by Walken's assortment of crazy wigs, and then catch "Balls of Fury" in theaters August 29.
In "Horton Hears a Who," Jim Carrey returns to Dr. Seuss land, although this time it's animated and with a co-starring lineup that includes such comedic talent as Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Dane Cook, Will Arnett, Carol Burnett and Dan Fogler.
For Fogler -- who can be seen shortly in the ping pong epic "Balls of Fury" -- it's a two-fer, as he tackles the voice of both a monkey king and a microscopic villain. In our exclusive interview below, he discusses his roles and even dishes out some lines.
