Fox Searchlight is showing off the first trailer from Hitchcock, the dramatic biopic heading to theaters on November 23, 2012. Not to be confused with HBO’s The Girl (a different take on Hitchcock starring Toby Jones as the iconic filmmaker), this Hitchcock story stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as the iconic director, James D’Arcy as Anthony Perkins and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh. Directed by Sacha Gervasi, Fox Searchlight’s setting this one up as a possible Oscar-contender.
