Hot on the heels of our news of The Birds remake, it looks like Anthony Hopkins is set to play Alfred Hitchcock in a movie about the filmmaker.

The news comes from the MTV Movies Blog which has a video excerpt with Hopkins talking about the project and the opening of the film. Running with Scissors director Ryan Murphy is apparently helming the project.

No word on the film's eventual title or production start date.

Oscar-winner Hopkins -- no stranger to horror and suspense with his role as Hannibal Lecter -- was also recently cast in The Wolfman opposite Benicio Del Toro.
