If there’s one director’s biography that can draw in a star cast, it's Alfred Hitchcock.
by Genna Patterson
And star-studded it is. Anthony Hopkins plays the lead while Helen Mirren steps up as his wife Alma. The movie focuses on his relationship with Alma during the production of 1959 groundbreaking movie Psycho.
Scarlett Johannsen, in all her glory plays Janet Leigh- the lead in Psycho and yes, there is the infamous shower scene. Supporting cast also includes Toni Colette, Jessica Biel, and Danny Huston. While the movie shows the difficulty in getting Pyscho made and issues with censorship, it also shows the complex relationship between Alfred and Alma and how she remained an unseen muse on his work. Hopkins donned a fat suit and make up to suitable fit the part.
Watch the trailer to see 75 year old Hopkins confidently play 60 year old Hitchcock.
Directed by Sacha Gervasi, writer of The Terminal, Hitchcock will be released nationwide on 8th February 2013.
