From slashfilm, Toby Jones is going to get a bit of good screen time this weekend as Claudius Templesmith in The Hunger Games. (Well, sadly, only a little bit of good screen time.) But we’ve got a new pic of Jones in one of his next projects: The Girl, a BBC TV movie written by Gwyneth Hughes (Five Days), and directed by Julian Jarrold (Red Riding: 1974).
Jones plays Alfred Hitchcock in an account of the director’s turbulent professional and personal relationship between Hitch and model turned actress Tippi Hedren, who starred in The Birds and Marnie. Below is the first image of Jones as Hitchcock and Sienna Miller as Hedren.
The Daily Mail (via The Playlist) has the image, which is clearly meant to suggest one of the well-known promo photos for The Birds, for which Hitchcock plucked Hedren from the modeling world to groom her as a sort of replacement for Grace Kelly, who had left acting for life as the Princess of Monaco.

He's great. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the "other" (and kind of better) Capote movie (he was Capote); the pickpocket in Tintin (mocap performance), a couple of other things. Terrific actor.
