> DOUBLE TAKE casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor,  
> unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The  
> master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while  
> politicians on both sides desperately clammer to say the right  
> things, live on TV. In a tale of odd couples and double deals,  
> DOUBLE TAKE targets the global political rise of ‘fear as a  
> commodity’ in our catastrophe culture, from moving images’ inception  
> to the present day.
> Award-winning novelist Tom McCarthy (‘Remainder’, ‘Tintin and the  
> Secret of Literature’) writes the plot for this film. Starring  
> Alfred Hitchcock himself in confrontation with Hithcock double Ron  
> Burrage and Hitchcock soundalike Mark Perry.
