Casting Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho

At first, I felt a chill run down my spine because I thought they were doing the unthinkable and remaking Psycho again, but they learned their lesson after the horrible, ill-advised Gus Van Sant shot-for-shot remake in 1998 of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece. Instead, relief overcame me as I learned that Hollywood was instead adapting Stephen Rebello's highly acclaimed book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The cast is shaping up to be fascinating...

Anthony Hopkins as director Alfred Hitchcock...

Scarlett Johansson as actress Janet Leigh, whose death scene in the horror classic became one of cinema's most iconic moments...

James D'Arcy as actor Anthony Perkins...

Jessica Biel as actress Vera Miles...

Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife Alma Reville...

The film will be directed by Sacha Gervasi. Hopefully, the movie version will capture the great behind-the-scenes details of the making of one of the finest thrillers of all time.
