26 Jan
Summary
- Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film is now vertical.
- The Lodger is available in vertical format on Tattle TV app.
- US viewers can watch the reframed silent film, others cannot.

Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, has been transformed into a microdrama, marking a pioneering step for classic cinema. The film is now accessible in a vertical format on the Tattle TV app, catering to mobile-first audiences in the U.S. This adaptation aims to introduce iconic films to new generations.
The vertical reframing of The Lodger is one of the first known instances of a full feature film being reformatted for vertical viewing. While available in the U.S., IP licensing restrictions prevent its vertical release in the UK or EU. Tattle TV utilizes AI tools to streamline this process, making archival content readily available for mobile consumption.
