The Alfred Hitchcock biopic premiered in New York and Los Angeles recently in red carpet events attended by the cast and other stars. Anthony Hopkins, who essays the role of Hitchcock, could not attend the shows though.

Directed by Sacha Gervasi, the film covers the time of Psycho's shooting when Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville are drawn closer to each other. Helen Mirren plays Alma, while the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson plays the part of actress Janet Leigh.

Hitchcock releases in the United States on November 23.
