HITCHCOCK Galas

Starring Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as Alma Reville, his wife, collaborator and the love of his life, HITCHCOCK reveals the untold story behind the director’s darkest masterpiece, PSYCHO.  An intense love story, HITCHCOCK reveals how two artists at the peak of their success challenged the studios and risked everything to make a daring screen adaptation of the story of a real-life ax-murderer.  Gambling their home and their reputations, Hitch and Alma agree to finance PSYCHO themselves.  What begins merely as an ambitious film project eventually tests the limits of their marriage, yet with daring new editing, sound and advertising, the two continue to collaborate, overcoming the odds and creating one of cinema’s enduring masterpieces.  Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel add strong supporting turns as a pair of Hitchock’s scream queens.

Sacha Gervasi got his screenwriting start with THE BIG TEASE, which he co-wrote with Craig Ferguson. He went on to pen THE TERMINAL directed by Steven Spielberg. Gervasi directed the rock-umentary ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL in 2005, which later won an Emmy Award and Best Documentary at the Independent Spirit Awards. HITCHCOCK is his feature film debut.
