First, for Hitchcock's fans:

Fogler is Hitchcock in Number Thirteen
Dan Fogler is set to play Alfred Hitchcock in the indie thriller Number Thirteen, which Chase Palmer wrote and will direct, says Variety. Ewan McGregor and Geoffrey Rush are circling the other lead roles.
The film will be financed by Union Square Entertainment, whose principals, Jason Berk and Matt Lane, will produce with Gail Mutrux. Shooting begins in January.
The drama centers on Hitchcock's lost and unfinished first film, Number Thirteen. In the film, the director gets caught up in a Hitchcockian dilemma when he ends up in a love triangle with two crew members while making the film. When the lead actor turns up dead, the editor suspects the director and tries to uncover the truth.
