First Look at Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in Sacha Gervasi’s Hitchcock

Fox Searchlight have offered the first look image of Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in The Montecito Picture Company’s Hitchcock, formerly titled Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho.

The film, an adaptation of Stephen Rebello’s non-fiction book, stars Hopkins as the famous director and producer, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the production of his critically acclaimed Psycho.

Hopkins stars opposite a top-notch ensemble, including Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel, Toni Collette, Danny Huston, Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Wincott.

Filming is now underway in Los Angeles, California, with Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) directing from an adapted screenplay penned by Rebello himself.

Hitchcock will be released next year. In the meantime, take a look at the almost unidentifiable image of Hopkins as the master of cinema and place your bets on how many Academy Award nominations it’ll receive:
