It was already remade once in the 90′s, but now a more interesting take on the material has arisen. According to Variety, Director Sacha Gervasi has tapped Scarlett Johansson and James D’Arcy to play “Psycho” stars Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins in Fox Searchlight’s “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho.”Anthony Hopkins has already been tapped to play the iconic director, while Helen Mirren will play his wife, Alma.

Gervasi’s picture follows Hitchcock and the development of Psycho. There were a lot of challenges during the filming of picture including pleasing the censors. The movie will be based on the novel “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho” written by Stephen Rebello.
