Making of Psycho film to star Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins

Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins are all set to star "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," a behind-the-scenes drama based on the production of the classic film.

Johansson will play Janet Leigh, joined by Jame D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins, Hopkins as Hitch and Mirren as the director's wife, Alma.

The project is based on the non-fiction book by Stephen Rebello that tracks how Hitchcock, at the height of his game as a director, decided to make a "lowly" horror movie. No studio wanted to touch it initially, so Hitchcock scrounged for financing by himself. The movie, of course, became one of his biggest hits and one of the most influential of all time.
