It's proven to be very smart releasing an early image of an actor portraying an icon figure with a distinctive look. Look what it did for Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher. And now as production gets underway on Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, we're getting a look at Anthony Hopkins transformed into the legendary film maker. Holy cow, did they do a hell of a job or what? Look at that chin! They sure that's Hannibal Lecter himself underneath all that plastic blubber?
The film, directed by Sacha Gervasi and based on Stephen Rebello's book, follows the famed director as he deals with personal and professional difficulties while creating the classic horror. Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel, Ralph Macchio(!!!!!), James D'Arcy, Toni Collette, Danny Huston, and Michael Stuhlbarg star. [People]
