Over a year ago, Anthony Hopkins said he would love to play legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
Now that is finally becoming a reality with 'Hitchcock', which began filming last Friday (the 13th) about the making of Psycho.
Based on Stephen Rebello‘s book 'Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho', the film will also star Helen Mirren as the director's wife, Scarlett Johansson [photos] as Psycho's short-lived leading lady in the shower Janet Leigh, Jessica Biel [photos] as actress Vera Miles and James D'Arcy as Psycho's leading man Anthony Perkins.
But will Hopkins be able to pull off Alfred Hitchcock's look? Fox Searchlight has released the first photo from the set and the answer appears to be a resounding yes.
Hopkins assumes Hitchcock's famous stance for the photo.
