In the meantime, Fox Searchlight, the film's distributor, has released -- exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter -- a second theatrical poster for the film, following closely on the heels of another version that was released earlier in October.

This one features master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins) holding a knife with one hand and his wife, Alma Reville (Oscar winner Helen Mirren), with the other, under the tagline, "Behind Every Psycho Is a Great Woman."

Hitchcock will go into limited release in the U.S. on Nov. 23.
