Sacha Gervasi, director of the rather brilliant documentary Anvil: The Story of Anvil, looks set to be a factor at next years Academy Awards as his Alfred Hitchcock biopic - imaginatively titled Hitchcock - is set for a limited release starting on the 23rd November 2012. That makes it eligible for next year's awards season, and also ties in nicely with the release of a box set of the master's work being released on Blu-ray.
The film is based on the book Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho by Stephen Rebello, and it boasts an amazing cast, with Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johannson, Danny Huston, Toni Collette, Jessica Biel, Michael Stuhlbarg and Red Foreman himself Kurtwood Smith.
Below is a poster for the movie that's simple and to the point, but really rather good. A trailer shouldn't be far behind, we'd wager...
