Good Evening: First Trailer For 'Hitchcock' Starring Anthony Hopkins & Scarlett Johansson Arrives

Hurried into the the fall awards season race and set to open the AFI Fest next month -- does Fox Searchlight's "Hitchcock" about the legendary director (played by Anthoy Hopkins) and the love for his wife (Helen Mirren), set against the backdrop of the making of "Psycho" have what it takes? Well, the first trailer is here to make the case.

“Hitchcock’s so enigmatic in one sense,” director Sacha Gervasi told EW about the challenge of making the movie. “Someone who portrays zero emotion. We didn’t really know emotionally that much about Hitchcock, and suddenly you have this whole world that opens up when Anthony Hopkins plays the role. It’s extraordinary. And he really enjoyed tiptoeing up to people who had just arrived on the set and going, ‘Good evening.’ Making people jump. I think he really found the role quite delicious.”
