New Poster for HITCHCOCK with Hopkins, Johansson and Mirren

Here's a great new movie poster for the upcoming film Hitchcock featuring most of the film's cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife, Ralph Macchio as Joe Stefano, Jessica Biel as Vera Miles and James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins.

The movie comes from director Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil), and is based on the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello. It takes place during the making of Hitchcock’s classic horror movie Psycho, and tells the love story of one of the most influential filmmakers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife and partner Alma Reville. 

When talking about the film and Hitchcock's wife Alma, Gervasi explained,

I think Alma accepts Hitch for exactly who he is and knows his idiosyncrasies and his crazy predilections. She allows him to have his obsessions and I think our movie is about a point where they sort of escalate. Their marriage is absolutely touched off by his increasing obsessions with these women, but they were ultimately fantasy relationships. Hitch lived in this world of fantasy; to him it was more real than real life. And I think Alma was able to kind of, in this film at least, smash it down a little bit.

She must have been one hell of an understanding woman. The director went on to talk about a set visit from one of the crew members that worked on the original Psycho movie. 

The original script supervisor from Psycho named Marshall Schlom walked on to the set and he saw Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock directing the scene, and he got incredibly emotional. He’s getting on in years and said, ‘Thank you for giving me my memories back.’ To see that was the ultimate satisfaction. I think that was when all of us, Tony included, started to think, ‘My God, this is something potentially very special.’

The trailer for the film is set to be released tomorrow so stay tuned! The movie will be released in select theaters on November 23rd. Are you looking foward to seeing how this movie turns out?
