Our first look at Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock on the set of the biopic HITCHCOCK was impressive enough, but scope out this new one below. Sure, you can sort of glimpse Hopkins’ familiar face in there, but I’m now even more convinced that this is great casting; I honestly wasn’t when it was initially announced. Plus: Best fat suit ever?
HITCHCOCK is a love story about one of the most influential filmmakers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife and partner Alma Reville. The film takes place during the making of Hitchcock’s seminal movie PSYCHO.
Directed by Sacha Gervasi, the film will also star Scarlett Johansson (LOST IN TRANSLATION) as Janet Leigh, James D’Arcy (MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD) as Anthony Perkins, Jessica Biel (THE ILLUSIONIST ) as Vera Miles, Michael Stuhlbarg (A SERIOUS MAN) as Lew Wasserman, Toni Collette (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) as Hitchcock’s secretary Peggy, Michael Wincott (THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO) as Ed Gein, Kurtwood Smith (TO DIE FOR) as Geoffrey Shurlock, Richard Portnow (GOOD MORNING VIETNAM) as Barney Balaban and Danny Huston (THE CONSTANT GARDENER) as Whitfield Cook.
Also, in case you hadn’t seen it before, here is a pic of Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh in the film. Yow!
