20th Century Fox has released the first official trailer for Hitchcock starring Anthony Hopkins as the iconic director, the film tracks how Hitchcock, at the height of his game, decided to make a ‘lowly’ horror movie. No studio wanted to touch it initially so Hitchcock scrounged for financing by himself. The film will center on the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren).
Directed by Sacha Gervasi, Hitchcock co-stars the likes of Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, James D’Arcy as Anthony Perkins, Jessica Biel as Vera Miles, Toni Collette as Peggy Robertson and Danny Huston as Whitfield Cook.
The film will have its world premiere at the 2012 AFI Fest on November 1 before hitting theaters on November 23. Check out the trailer below.
