Anthony Hopkins' makeup for his new role

In April 2012, the first photo from the set of the upcoming movie 'Hitchcock' with Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johannson and Jessica Biel in the main roles was unveiled to the public. (The filming started this month; the movie release is announced for 2013.)

The photo shows Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins in the makeup created by artist Howard Berger. The invisible mask is made of natural appearing 'makeup' which transforms Anthony Hopkins into the master of 'suspense', director Alfred Hitchcock.

Hopkins is a fan of Hitchcock since he has experienced so much fear like never before and again in his life while watching the legendary movie 'Psycho' on a Sunday evening in October 1960 in Manchester. Hopkins says that the movie 'Hitchcock' is his most thrilling project since 'The Silence of the Lambs'.
