John Logan interview: Double Feature (The Times)

The Gladiator and Bond scriptwriter spent a decade researching his new play Double Feature, about the abusive relationship between the director and his star actress Tippi Hedren

As a young man, long before he became one of the most successful screenwriters in Hollywood, John Logan adored Alfred Hitchcock. He taught himself how to write by studying the scripts to Psycho and North by Northwest. Now, though, after ten years working on a play that shows Hitchcock as a vindictive sexual predator, he finds the films a struggle.
