I love when I find creative combinations of two of my favorite things. So when I came across this nicely done mashup of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic North by Northwest with bits from George Lucas’ Star Wars franchise, I was in Sci-Fi Noir heaven.

“Master of Suspense”
“Master of Suspense” is a short film and an original story created with the famous cameo appearances of Alfred Hitchcock in his films and trailers. Special effects and extracts from 30 of his great movies were used for the editing. A new sound design was created, mixed with eerie tones of the music of Bernard Herrmann.
