How eerie! Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are dead ringers for horror director Alfred Hitchcock and his beloved wife By LINDA MASSARELLA PUBLISHED: 15:36 EST, 1 June 2012 | UPDATED: 07:53 EST, 2 June 2012 MAIL ON LINE



In the first snap shots taken of Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren on the Los Angeles set of Hitchcock yesterday, it's clear the British actors have slipped right into character.

The 74-year-old Silence of the Lambs star was completely transformed into the legendary director with the help of prosthetic makeup. It gave Hopkins the long-nosed and big-jowled profile for  which Alfred Hitchcock was so famous.

Naturally slim, Hopkins was turned into a 300-pound giant with the help of a fat suit and further prosthetic make up around his jaw and neck.

Luckily for Mirren, Alma Hitchcock was naturally slender,

Some red hair dye, jewels and a period mink coat and long white gloves were all the 66-year-old actress needed to add to play the part.

Production on Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock has been underway for about five weeks at various locations around Hollywood.

The movie looks at the period of Hitchcock's life when he was making one of the most iconic films of all time, Psycho.
