Fox Searchlight Pictures has released a new international trailer for Hitchcock which you can watch in the player inside.  (Read our review here.)

Opening in theaters on November 23rd, the Sacha Gervasi-directed drama stars Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Danny Huston, Toni Collette, Jessica Biel, Michael Stuhlbarg, James D'Arcy, Michael Wincott, Richard Portnow and Kurtwood Smith.

The film takes place during the making of Hitchcock’s seminal movie Psycho.

After having huge success with North by Northwest, 60-year-old filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (Sir Anthony Hopkins) reads Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho," based on the serial murders by Ed Gein, and becomes obsessed with making it his next film, to the point of funding it with his own money.  Meanwhile, his wife Alma (Helen Mirren) is having her own issues as she feels she's losing her husband to the film's nubile starlets, so she decides to work on her own project with a good-looking younger writer (Danny Huston).

Movielovers' endless fascination with the stars and filmmakers of yesteryear has led to many decent films like last year's My Week with Marilyn and Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles.

Directed by Sacha Gervasi of Anvil! fame, Hitchcock offers a similar thrill of getting inside the head of the famously eclectic filmmaker during one of his most creative phases. Despite being based on the novel "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," this isn't just about the making of the filmmaker's most successful thriller as much as it's about the stress put on his marriage by his decision to make said movie.

It's promoting a website, and the clip is super brief, but a new promo for Hitchcock offers up a glimpse of the "shower sequence" from Psycho which was recreated for this film.  Hitchcock, opening November 23rd, focuses on the director and his time making Psycho.  That's Scarlett Johansson playing Janet Leigh playing Marion Crane.  Check out the clip inside.

Fox Searchlight has released a PSA about cell phone use in movie theaters, however, this one ties in to Hitchcock, so you have Alfred Hitchcock - as played by Anthony Hopkins - talking about what makes him "psycho."  (Get it?  Get it?)

The PSA is shot using a cell phone in a movie theater.

As someone that spent the better part of three years making an exhaustive documentary about the Psycho franchise, there was nothing more surreal then turning the corner off of 6th Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, walking up Broadway and seeing in bold red letters the word PSYCHO displayed on the marquee of the Palace Theater, doubling here for the world famous Demille Theater in New York City circa 1960.

As I got closer and reached the entrance of the theater, I was taken aback by the dozen or so theatrical one-sheet posters for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho that I’d seen a million times before, but something was off about this version of the iconic image. It wasn’t Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh or Vera Miles displayed on these posters, but instead it was actors James D’Arcy, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel (respectively) in their place.

The making of Psycho is at the center of the upcoming feature film Hitchcock, which Fox Searchlight is releasing in theaters on November 23rd.  A trailer has hit the web and intriguing it most certainly is.  Under a lot of prosthetics, you'll find Anthony Hopkins playing Alfred Hitchcock.

A new one-sheet for Hitchcock, which looks at a slice of Alfred Hitchcock's life and the making of Psycho, has premiered at EW and the latest art takes a very Psycho-esque approach.  Sacha Gervasi's film opens in theaters November 23rd from Fox Searchlight and stars Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson and Jessical Biel.

On another note, doesn't it feel like this film just wrapped recently?  Hitchcock faced a very quick turnaround, it seems, and I'm presuming the release date was pushed up once it was revealed HBO's Hitchcock project, The Girl, locked in an air date (for later this month).
