Official 'Hitchcock' Poster Released

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The official poster and release date has been released for the upcoming biopic Hitchcock, starring the iconic duo of Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren.

To be sure, the new poster renders Hopkins nearly unrecognisable. It features the legendary star in full costume posing in Alfred Hicthcock’s famous upright pose. Oh yeah, he’s also holding a butcher knife.

The film will be based on Stephen Rebello‘s book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, which unsurprisingly centers on the making of Psycho. The film adaptation promises to center on the relationship with Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville, who will be portrayed by the always glamorous Helen Mirren.

Hitchcock will also feature Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, Ralph Macchio, Jessica Biel, and Kurtwood Smith. The film will be directed by Sacha Gervasi, who only has an unknown documentary to his name. He has, however, The Terminal along with a few others to his name in terms of screenplays.

Hitchcock is now officially set to hit theatres on November 23, just in time for the holiday-Oscar rush. Have a full look at the new poster below.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
