Hitchcock Remake Stars Alba

Something as sacred as Hitchcock couldn't be remade, right? (Well, besides a few pesky and unnecessary ventures like the 1998 Psycho.) That was until Vanity Fair and Latina.com tipped us off on a whole series of remakes of Hitchcock and other famous horror flicks--starring A-list celebs like Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and Jodie Foster. Alba replaces Janet Leigh in that iconic shower scene, and Jodie Foster takes a pecking as Tippi Hedren in The Birds. Luckily though, these A-list remakes won't be making it to the big (or small) screen any time soon, since they're merely part of a series of Hollywood inspired photo shoots in which stars posed in Hitchcock- and horror-film style scenes. Good thing because the thought of Alba giving birth to the spawn of Satan is all too real at this point.
